I remain a bit confused by the inclusion in your explanation of the statement that, "not one single Libertarian candidate received enough votes to survive the Primary election" – isn't this an effect of the state government's previously enacted (and also unfair and exclusionary) "top two" law, and not of the unfair petitioning requirement? My understanding from what I read here and in the federal court brief at the link you supplied, is that the petitioning requirement currently being fought by the Arizona LP makes it much more difficult for Libertarians and other alternative party candidates to even appear on <i>primary</i> ballots, before even having an opportunity to receive enough votes to overcome the "top two" hurdle and make it to the general election. (I note in passing that this brief appears to have been filed by the LNC's counsel, Oliver Hall, although whether this was done under the aegis of his contract to provide legal assistance to the national LP, or independently at the Arizona LP's expense or as a pro bono donation of services by Mr. Hall, I do not know).</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Regardless however, it seems clear enough that this is indeed an onerous, unfair, and unconstitutional new requirement which we all have an interest in getting tossed out before it keeps more Libertarians and other non-cartel candidates off the ballot and risks spreading to other states. Certainly your request that the Libertarian Party provide a formal statement of support and solidarity and reach out to other possible sources of legal support to assist in fighting this travesty, seems entirely reasonable and timely, and one that we ought to be able to honor without undo difficulty.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Therefore I hereby offer the following motion in accord with your request, and seek co-sponsorship from my LNC colleagues:</div><div><br></div><div>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div><br></div><div><b>Whereas the Arizona state government's new statute increasing the signature requirements for Libertarians and other alternative party candidates to appear on primary ballots in Arizona by as much as 20-fold or more is clearly unfair, burdensome, at odds with legal precedent, and unconstitutional; and</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Whereas plaintiffs have limited resources and could use additional legal support in fighting to overturn this unjust statute, especially if the federal district court ruling goes against them and an appeal is necessary; </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Therefore be it resolved that the Libertarian National Committee expresses our support for and solidarity with the Arizona Libertarian Party and Michael Kielsky in this matter, and urges the United States District Court for the district of Arizona to find for the plaintiffs in the case of <i>Arizona Libertarian Party et al v.
