>>>>>>>> *What type of support I am seeking.*
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> *The simplest action*
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> 1. Put an agenda item before the National Libertarian Party
>>>>>>>> expressing support and solidarity with the Arizona Libertarian Party in
>>>>>>>> this case.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> 2. Passage of that agenda item.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> This could be very useful and let the Arizona Libertarian Party
>>>>>>>> know it’s not fighting this battle all on it’s own.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> *More significant action*
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> 3. The National Libertarian Party could use it’s status and
>>>>>>>> position to  inform and seek involvement of such groups like the
>>>>>>>> American Civil Liberties Union, the Landmark Legal Foundation, the Pacific
>>>>>>>> Legal Foundation, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the American Center
>>>>>>>> for Law and Justice,etc.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> 4. Such groups — or the National Libertarian Party itself — could
>>>>>>>> file an* amicus curiae* (a 'friend of the court’ brief) perhaps
>>>>>>>> focusing on broader issues, like how this is a threat to all third parties
>>>>>>>> (by including Independents as if part of their voter base). Perhaps, too,
>>>>>>>> using it’s status and position the National Libertarian Party could seek
>>>>>>>> the involvement and help from all other 3rd parties who would suffer under
>>>>>>>> such new rules; or at least alert them to this threat.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> *Ultimate and maybe necessary action*
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> 5. If the Arizona Libertarian Party loses it’s Federal case there
>>>>>>>> would be a need for an appeal. If it loses the appeal then efforts would be
>>>>>>>> necessary to take it to the U.S. Supreme Court.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>     To do any of that would require legal and financial resources
>>>>>>>> way beyond what’s available in Arizona for such appeals. So, if appeals are
>>>>>>>> necessary, for the National Libertarian Party, other 3rd Parties, or other
>>>>>>>> legal action groups as mentioned above to consider such help if need be.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> *If this Arizona law is allowed to stand it could be used to
>>>>>>>> destroy the efforts of all third parties in all states. It would be
>>>>>>>> replicated. *
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> *Any action the National Libertarian Party might come up with,
>>>>>>>> itself, would also be good. *
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> *A **Clarification *
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> I am not speaking for the Arizona Libertarian Party; I am speaking
>>>>>>>> for myself, as a Libertarian candidate who would have had enough votes to
>>>>>>>> make it to the General Election this year, under the previous election laws
>>>>>>>> — but came no where close and was defeated in our recent primary under
>>>>>>>> these new election laws taking effect for the first time this year.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> In that way I’m like Mr. Frank Tamburri, the recently defeated
>>>>>>>> Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate, who — as an individual — felt
>>>>>>>> personal distress and harm as to what happened to them, and thus filed his
>>>>>>>> State case.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> I also feel personal distress and harm at my defeat under these new
>>>>>>>> election rules so — as an individual — I’m stating my complaint... and
>>>>>>>> seeking National Party involvement (because I feel it appropriate and
>>>>>>>> necessary).
