On September 18, a trial court in Springfield, Illinois, rejected the Republican attempt to remove the Libertarian Party slate of statewide candidates from the ballot. The Republican challengers had claimed that some of the petitioners must have signed off as circulators of certain petition sheets, even though someone else for those sheets was the true circulator. The case is Atsaves v State Officers Electoral Board, 14-mr-1025, Sangamon County.
These attacks on ballot access have got to stop–NOW!
MONTEREY CALIFORNIA USA
September 20, 2014
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Thirty-two political candidates in a “Unity Coalition”
connected through email and telephone are organized
under the unifying all party (and independents)
voting system of pure American proportional
representation (PR).
Two amongst them are out-of-state ballot-qualified
candidates from New York and Rhode Island.
Anti-corruption candidate Ron Gold [Republican]
for California State Attorney General and tax
fighter Greg Conlon [Republican] for California
State Treasurer head up the coalition.
They are two state-wide underdog candidates
in California for the November 4th state
elections.
The united collection of political candidates
has a plan; Call on Republican, Democratic and
independent voters to support the three
independent candidates for Congress in
congressional districts 5, 20 and 28 (Napa,
Monterey and Los Angeles), and in exchange
ask those same Republican, Democratic and
independent voter categories for stronger
support.

Our coalition now consists of a Gubernatorial and Lt. Gubernatorial unity ticket in Rhode Island; Ann Armstrong [Compassion] for Governor and Tony Jones [Libertarian] for Lt. Governor.
So besides the Libertarians what other third parties are on the Illinois ballot?
