Change of Location for August Meeting: Sundwall Ranch, Niverville
The August meeting of the Capital District Chapter of the Libertarian Party of New York will be on Tuesday August 8th at 7:00 PM at the Sundwall residence, 889 Main Street, Niverville.
This meeting may coincide with the first meeting of a new chapter located in Columbia County, which may also incorporate Greene and/or additional counties under its umbrella.
If there is sufficient attendance from the proposed geographic area, a selection of interim officers will be made and a meeting set up to draft proposed bylaws, and set a date for a chapter convention to adopt bylaws, select officers and request official recognition from the state party.
Petitioning to get candidates on the ballot began on July 11th and is not preceding a pace that insures the required number of signatures. Help is needed if we are to be successful in offering a libertarian alternative to what will most like be Governor Spitzer and Senator Hillary Clinton.
“Don’t blame me, I voted Libertarian” bumper stickers could be meaningless, because without ballot status, nobody will be able to vote for Libertarians in New York in 2006. Call me for how to obtain copies of the petition.
Eric Sundwall, US Congressional candidate for New York’s 20th District extends an invitation to all to petition that afternoon before the meeting. Call Eric at 754-1023
