I'd like to ask you to take a minute and write or call C-Span to thank them for covering the Libertarian Party National Convention this year -- and especially for pre-empting their programming so they could stay through until the nomination is complete. They had live coverage today for about 6 hours, which is highly commendable.
(By the way, new LP nominee Michael Badnarik will be on their morning program today at 9:15 AM EST. It may replay later as well...you can check C-Span's schedule as the day progresses.)
There very well may be folks complaining about the pre-emption on the other side of things, and it's important that C-Span knows that it made the right choice. As I mentioned yesterday, this is one of the few times in the year that Libertarians get this much national TV exposure, and C-Span needs to hear your appreciation for their doing so (even if you didn't watch it).
Please contact C-Span's Viewer Services at (765) 464-3080 or viewer@c-span.org and say "Thanks."
And tell them you look forward to seeing lots of coverage of Libertarian and third-party activities in the coming months too!

Well the libertarians have managed to field yet another canadate that will get 0.001 percent of the vote. I went to the convention because of Russo. Nolan unfairly undercut the process by speaking in the middle of the voting and not other canadate was allowed to talk. With Aaron there was a chance of winning. I left the convention after seeing that the libertarian party isn't serious and pretty much a waste of time
Posted by: Sean Glazier at June 1, 2004 06:53 AMgood point about nolan undercutting the process.....it seems there would have been some roberts rules regarding that.....if the election then eliminates candidate number 3 then should candidate number 3 choose to give a speech, candidate number 1 and candidate number 2 must be allowed the same time to speak, or something like that.......good observation.......dk

"I am nominally a Democrat, but have never been seriously politically active, mainly because I'm fed up with a lot of what the major parties say and do. ...you could say I'm looking for an intelligent alternative.
"I'm not ready to declare myself a Libertarian, but your site piques me and makes me think. And that's (at least) half the battle.
"Very interesting."
