FROM THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY: Dear friend: Do you want to see a Libertarian in Congress? Of course you do. And thanks to Tom DeLay, the Libertarian Party may have its best chance ever. A surprise opportunity has offered itself recently, and we need to exploit it. A federal judge has ruled that Tom DeLays name can not be replaced on Novembers ballot with another Republican politician. Late last week, DeLay announced that he will withdraw his name, leaving only two candidates on the ballot: a liberal Democratic former congressman, and Libertarian Bob Smither. Bob is well known by the voters and media in this Houston-based district. In fact, the Democrat in this race boasts of his long record of working to prevent child abductions and recover missing children. Thats a record he compiled while working on behalf of a non-profit group founded by Libertarian candidate Bob Smither!! And heres the kicker: this district has already elected a strong libertarian icon to Congress! Key counties in this district repeatedly re-elected Ron Paul to the U.S. House of Representatives before the lines were redrawn in 2000.... ...The Republicans remain divided, bickering over which candidate to back, in what by all accounts will be a disastrous write-in fiasco! Local Republican leaders will be meeting this Thursday to discuss their options for Texas 22. We need to convince them to support the Libertarian candidate on the ballot. If they do not, they will have another liberal Democrat entrenched in the House. It is in both Parties' best interests to have a Libertarian congressman serving the 22nd district....
