Libertarian Certified for November Ballot - 8/15/2006
Lower Providence - The Pennsylvania Department of State has
officially certified that James Babb has successfully met the
requirements to appear on the fall ballot. Babb is the Libertarian
Party's candidate for Representative in the General Assembly, for
district 157 (parts of Chester and Montgomery counties).
Although the old parties are not required to submit any signatures to
appear on the fall ballot, state law requires independent and
established challenger party candidates to collect 466 valid
signatures from district voters to appear on the ballot. On July 31,
Babb submitted over 650 signatures of district voters who want a real
choice on election day. The majority of the signatures were received
in a single day at the polls during the old parties' primary, where
registered Democrats and Republicans filled page after page with
their signatures.
"Voters of all political persuasions are dissatisfied with the old
status-quo parties. People like choices. They are eager to see
candidates from challenger parties like the Libertarians on the
ballot and most importantly, in office." said Babb at a recent press
conference. "Clearly the Republicans have let down those interested
in fiscal restraint and the Democrats have clearly failed to protect
our civil liberties. Libertarian is the only choice for voters
interested in protecting private property and individual freedom.
Babb asserts that he is the best candidate for his district because
he is not a career politician. "Unlike my opponent, I work in the
real world. When I wanted a raise, I had to increase my productivity.
When that wasn't enough, I started my own business. My success or
failure in business is determined on my ability to meet the needs of
my customers. When government fails, it usually gets more funding (In
government, nothing succeeds like failure.) The last time my opponent
had a job in the private sector, cars had 8-track players."
"When I win, the special interests like the PSEA and the utility
monopolies will have no power over me, because I haven't taken their
money. Unlike the career politician incumbent, I will be free to
uphold my oath of office and obey the Pennsylvania constitution
without fear of retribution from lobbyist benefactors."
Babb's willingness to buck conventional wisdom and challenge special
interest strongholds is earning him quite a reputation. His pro-
freedom solutions are often seen as controversial by some, but rooted
in common sense and the American tradition of limited government and
personal responsibility. "I can say what needs to be said. I can
speak the truth, because I don't work for special interests." Babb
intends to improve education by eliminating its compulsory nature. He
wants to wipe out drug gangs by ending the war on drugs and he will
preserve the environment by protecting private property and ending
pay-to-pollute government programs. He wants to withhold the
Pennsylvania Guard from participation in undeclared foreign wars.

party in Pennsylvania with over 34,000 registered voters and scores
of locally elected office holders across the commonwealth.
