We must increase our Voter Registration or the CA LP will die. The life of the CA Libertarian Party depends on us doubling our voter registration. Why you may ask……the passage of Prop 14 is about to kill us. With the passage of Prop 14, only the top 2 candidates from the primaries will enter into the November elections. The CA LP and other 3rd parties rely on being in the November elections so that one of their candidates, running a statewide seat, can get at least 2% of the vote. If we get 2% in this upcoming election then we save our ballot access for one more election. Please make sure you vote for all of our statewide candidates this election. Ballot access is what allows our candidates to get on the ballot much easier. Without it, it will be next to impossible to get Libertarian candidates on the ballot. Most likely a Libertarian candidate won’t be in the top 2 and we lose our ballot access.
Another way to save our ballot access is to raise our registration #s to 1% of all the people that voted in the last election. Yes a moving target, as we won’t know how many we need for the next election until the current elections in Nov take place, but I am told we need to double our registrations. We can do this. Can you take on registering some Not-Yet-Libertarians or people who have dropped out because they were fed up with the system.
Many people who voted for Prop 14 had no idea it was going to end 3rd parties or they could no longer WRITE IN their vote. Ask them to help us right the wrong of Prop 14. Hey, what can it hurt to ask. They may just say YES. Tell them to go to http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/voters/Eng/Ereg.shtml for more info on how to register or change their registration. Better yet, have some spare registration cards in your car at all times. You can pick some up at the San Diego Registrar of Voters free of charge.
 If you are extra excited about helping us out, consider putting up a table at your favorite hotspot. Educate people about Prop 14 and ask them to register Libertarian. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Kristi Stone, SDLP Campaigns Chair 760-633-3012

Short-term-rental fee illegal, lawsuit saysClass-action challenge claims city’s levy is actually a taxhttp://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/mar/19/short-term-rental-fee-illegal-lawsuit-says/ENCINITAS — A landlord has filed a class-action lawsuit against Encinitas seeking to overturn the city’s annual fee on short-term rentals, calling it an illegal tax. The effort is led by Edward Teyssier, a local libertarian leader and attorney who helped landlords in San Diego overturn a fee charged to businesses for processing taxes. Encinitas, a popular vacation spot, has many short-term-rental properties, defined as private homes rented for 30 days or less, usually to out-of-towners wanting to enjoy the coast. The owners of short-term-rental properties already pay a 10 percent hotel tax. The permit fee for each unit is $150 per year, and is in addition to the tax. Teyssier said the fee is actually another tax. Therefore, it should have been approved by a publ More Short-term-rental fee illegal, lawsuit says » |

On Monday, February 22nd at 7pm, Cafe Libertalia hosted the first debate on this topic of high-level of control over people vs. absolutely zero government and thus a completely free market economy. This was not the typical political debate that argued over what to do with the stolen loot. Instead it focused on that basic question -- whether or not 'government' is necessary, appropriate or legitimate. The two sides are from what is generally considered the fringes of More Democratic Socialist/Voluntaryists(market anarchy debate) » |
