But on the ballot for state government? I honestly have never heard of Michael Badnarik until today. Isn't voting for him a little dangerous? Considering that it will take my vote away from Kerry and possibly giving Bush the lead? Lay it on me, Toker.
Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. If you vote for someone you don't agree with, the message your sending is that you do agree with them. That's not a good thing to do in my opinion. A lot of people think their vote only counts if they vote for one of the two party's. That's not true. Wasting your vote is voting for someone you really don't want to lead this country.

The LP is not on the ballot in every state, yet. Ballot access issues are issues the LP is very concerned about. The two major partys fight to make it as hard as possible for any other party to gain accress. To me the lower positions need to have more Libertarian minded people elected into those positions. Senetors, congressmen, state lawmakers, judges and so on are as importent, or more importent then the prez. Find your states LP, and see who is running near you, and see if you like them. Better yet, here ya go!

The fact that your even intrested at all puts you quite a few steps ahead of the sheeple that believe they only have two choices or their wasting their vote. I hope you will take the time to investigate Libertarianism, and the LP further. You may not see Badnarik as a viable choice for prez, but you may find others localy that you do want to vote for.

Well, I gotta head to the fireworks show. The kids are going crazy. Actualy it's me going crazy trying to keep them occupied until we go. Writing this has pretty much been my only real break today. On top of all the goings on around here, I've been hanging pretty hard all day. I guess ya gotta pay if ya wanna play.
