Serf City is now ONE with ManhattanLP.org ___________________ Internet Radio   Thinking Liberty  an interactive libertarian anarchist talk program   Petitioning Starts Tuesday July 10 How many signatures will YOU gather?   Voters are more dissatisfied with the Democrats and Republicans than any time in recent memory.  If you divide voters into D's , R's and NOTA - NOTA is the biggest group.  More people specifically decline to be D's and R's than affiliate with D's and R's.   Then why do the D's and the R's get practically automatic ballot access when third parties have to spend enormous time and effort just to get on the ballot?   Let's see - is it to offer voters a wider choice and to bring new ideas and solutions in to the debate?  Or could it be because they know it's the only way they can stay in power?   Restrictive ballot access laws are among the most effective tools the statists have for stifling our voices. Don't let them stifle you.  Help get Gary Johnson, Jim Gray, Chris Edes and all our other great candidates on the ballot.   Contribute Now Please make your most generous possible contribution by clicking here.   Volunteer Volunteer now to gather signatures.  Right now ballot access is the single most important thing you can do to help the freedom movement.  If you haven't done it before, don't worry.  We will show you everything.  Sign up or get more info here.   Get Petitions Download petition forms here   Local Chapter Meetings Kick-off Ballot Access Drive   Sun July 8: Brooklyn Mon July 9: Nassau Tue July 10: Manhattan Sat Jul 14: Queens Tue Jul 17: Suffolk     Manhattan LP Monthly Meeting July 10, 2012   Guest Speaker  Gregory T.

Drink Free Or Die!   http://www.facebook.com/events/405624482816718/ Recent Serf City Blogs Oh Thank Heaven: Mayor Protects us from 7-Eleven! by Janet Hopf First Bloomberg came for the smokers, but I was not a smoker so I did not speak out.  Then he came for 4 Loko, but I do not drink, so I did not speak out.  Then he came for the people, who while not smoking in restaurants or bars, were nevertheless still smoking in public parks.  But I was still not a smoker, so I did not speak out.  read more....   Fair Tax or Government Theft by Another Name? by Ron Moore Many libertarians (including me) have opposed the Fair Tax for reasons including its revenue neutrality – it’s designed to provide the Government with as much revenue (armed robbery?) as the current system.  Another huge concern is that the Government will simply reinstate all the taxes the Fair Tax is supposed to eliminate, a charge the Fair Tax proponents quickly refute.  read more...   As Petitioning for Ballot Access Approaches Most Voters Think The System is Unfair by Ron Moore Across the country most Democrat and Republican candidates are automatically on the ballot or have very minimal petitioning requirements.  This is despite the fact that nearly a third of all voters identify themselves as unaffiliated with Republicans or Democrats.  In New York State third-party candidates need to meet requirements three or four times higher than Democrats and Republicans.  read more...   NY LP Local Chapter Info   Brooklyn Libertarian Party Go to the Brooklyn LP website for information about meetings, events, membership, and other information.   Capital District Libertarian Party Second Tuesdays at Brown’s Brewing (425 River Street) in Troy at 6pm.   Hudson Valley Libertarian Party First Tuesday of each month at 7pm at the College Diner in New Paltz, one block east of the thruway exit on route 299.
