Although the Reform Party only has statewide candidates in two states this year (Florida and Kansas), it has candidates for the U.S. House, or for the state legislature, in additional states, specifically Arizona, Colorado, Maine, and Mississippi.
In California, the latest registration tally shows 32,402 registered Reform Party members. The party has been off the ballot in California since 2002. Usually when a party goes off the ballot, its registration declines fairly rapidly. However, Reform Party registration in California is holding up; on January 3, 2006, it had 33,795 members.
Reform the Reform Party! Come visit Chula Vista (Court) on Columbus Day (traditional) as I continue my persuit of justice and funds from BOTH of California’s last two state chairs [Valli Sharpe-Geisler and John Blare]!
While I agree with EVERY THING that Eric Dondero R. mentions above, I find the arrogant attitude OF A TEXAS REPUBLICAN whom counts fake reformers like GOP Govenator Ahnold Schwartz En Faker as “Mainstream Libertarian” and whom constantly ignores the pointed questions on the so called reform movement, Libertarians, and the GOP/ Neocons —–just utterly illogical!
He lives in his own little lonely world, and constantly thinks of his own true love, HIMSELF…..
To Eric Dondero. What is a shame is that more states don’t have fusion so that a candidate can get the approval of both parties.
My understanding of the Reform party is that they want to make the current government more effecient. While the is a worthy goal to same money and create a smaller government, it is not the Libertarian Position.
Maybe the Reform Party should be more like the Libertarian Party. Maybe the Greens and Libertarians should get together. How about the Constitution Party and the Libertarians?
We all have different opinions. It is easier for a candiate to compromise than a party since that candidate may really beleive in an in between positions. Party compromising requires long negotiations between two large groups represented by two boards. Much harder. Fusion is the best way of handling this.
If enough people vote for a Reform-Libertarian, then both parties will notice.
