The Libertarian Party News, December 2011 issue, is especially interesting for those interested in political history. The 16-page issue has a compilation by Arthur DiBianca showing instances when Libertarian Party nominees in partisan elections either won, or out-polled one of their major party opponents. The issue also has an extensive summary of Libertarian Party history, by calendar year. This historical emphasis is to mark the party’s anniversary, of 40 years of existence.
The only other nationally-organized political parties in the United States that have existed for at least 40 years, and which were electorally active for at least that long, have been these parties: Prohibition, Socialist Labor, Socialist, Communist, and Socialist Workers.

How many LP folks elected to POWER offices in the 40 years ??? –
U.S.A. Senator/Rep.
State Senator/Rep.
Sorry – being elected to a township library board means about ZERO.
TOTAL futility ???

P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
@Richard – Is there anywhere to buy past copies of LP News? I’ve looked and am turning up nothing.
@DemoRep – The LP has elected about a dozen people to state house seats over the years — but your point is taken.
