My name is Bruce A. Martin.
I am a Libertarian Party candidate for New York State Assembly, 3rd district.

There are two other candidates on the ballot.
Both of them are enrolled Democrats.
Both of them are Tax & Spend liberals -- have proven this repeatedly, in their voting records as members of Sheldon Silver's majority in the State Assembly.

Unbelievable as it seems, no enrolled Republican is on the ballot,
and no other parties have additional candidates in this race!

So, in this election contest it's just two liberal DEMOCRATS versus a LIBERTARIAN.

Each of my 2 opponents was selected years ago by party leaders of one of the major parties, then this year was selected by the party leader of the opposite major party. Now, I'm still confused and skeptical about all this wierd jockeying by the two party bosses; so are the most of the voters!

I've never run for public office before.
I've always been enrolled in the Conservative Party - which is a NY State-only party.
As for national parties, I cannot support either Demoblicans nor Repucrats
-- to me, they are merely two wings of what I'd call the Incumbent Party.

The national party I belong to is the Libertarian Party.

The Libertarian Party candidates stand for:

Lower taxes -- MUCH LOWER TAXES!

Smaller state goverment -- MUCH SMALLER!

Empowerment of local gov'ts & individuals
to run their own communities & their own business.

Reduce the growing burden that government regulations impose upon peaceful citizens.

In NY, Libertarian candidates oppose the monstrously-huge state government in Albany,
a hideous Frankenstein constructed, over the years, jointly by Demoblicans & Repucrats:

A power-hungry state gov't that takes our dollars up to Albany & sends back pennies
Then it hands down "mandates" that force local gov'ts to raise & spend even more local taxes.

Libertarians believe that YOU can decide, better than your bureaucratic masters in Albany, what to do with your own tax dollars and how to run your own communities.

Every Libertarian officeholder has taken a pledge never to vote to raise taxes / none has ever broken that pledge! I don't believe any other national party can make that claim.

All 8 Libertarian Party candidates in this area opposed the LIPA/LILCO Bailout Bond Deal.
(Last March, Chris Garvey and I spoke before the County Legislature demanding a Referendum.)

I support Chris Garvey's call for an end to the state sales tax, reduction of the state government, and a restoration of our Constitutional rights.

What is the Libertarian Party?

We are the 3rd-largest political party in the United States, with over 250 Libertarians already serving in public office.
Our members have served in the legislatures of several states, and in the Congress.
Our candidate for President was on the ballot in all 50 states (plus DC) in most of the recent Presidential elections.
Our 1972 candidate for Vice President was the first woman in American history to receive an Electoral College vote.
Our 1996 Presidential candidate, Harry Browne, called for an end to the Federal Income Tax and the I.R.S., long before other candidates jumped on the bandwagon.

The Libertarian Party was founded on the principles of Thomas Jeffereson:
- Governments are established to protect your inalienable rights, and
- That government is best which governs least.
An early U.S. coin had the motto: "Mind your own business". That's what liberty is all about. It has been said that a libertarian salad is: lettuce alone!
The Libertarian Party supports for ALL TEN Articles of the Bill of Rights -- including the 2nd, 4th, 9th, and 10th Amendments which are too-often ignored.
In New York, the Libertarian Party is the only political party that officially opposed the LILCO/LIPA Bailout Bond Deal and supported a Suffolk County Referendum on it.

The Democrats want government to be your Mommy:
eat all your vegetables, don't smoke too much, here's your allowance, buy only politically-correct cars, textbooks, health plans, etc.
and you'd better believe: Mother knows best!

The Republicans want government to be your Daddy:
swindle whoever you want (if you can get away with it),
but if your lifestyle violates their "community standards", WATCH OUT! Big Daddy just might drag you out to the woodshed for a "lesson".

Libertarians are the only party that wants government to treat you as an adult.
You are accountable for what you do.
Government's main job is to protect the weak from the bullies.
