A recent edition of the Bulverde Standard, Canyon Lake Week and Comal County Beacon printed a fantastic editorial by Doug Kirk under this headline -- "Will The Libertarian Party Make History In Our Backyard?" I've posted the entire editorial at www.YouNeedToVote.blogspot.com.

It is significant that the three most politically-orientated newspapers in the local area believe that I can become the first Libertarian candidate to be elected to the Texas State Legislature. Please take the time to read this editorial to see why Mr. Kirk believes history can be made on November 2nd.
Legendary Kinky Friedman was the Key Speaker at the Texas Libertarian Party State Convention at today's luncheon for all delegates and attendees. True to form, Mr. Friedman had some very amusing things to say about the Republican candidate for Governor, Rick Perry, as well as the Democrat candidate, Bill White.

 "I really think the Democrats and the Republicans have become the same guy, admiring themselves in the mirror. Rick Perry and Bill White - it's like the lesser of two boll weevils. This is the classic choice between paper or plastic. I think the day has come for the Libertarians."

You have to love Kinky...

His final words, however, were the most meaningful for yours truly, "Where's Robert Nowotny?"

Upon standing up before the entire Convention, Kinky pointed to me and declared, "Robert is a good man. We Hill Country guys have to stick together. He is an excellent candidate and I support him."

Thank you Kinky -- your endorsement means a lot to me.

For anyone who questions my ability to win this election I refer again to Kinky: "Why the Hell not?"

Why the Hell not, indeed...
Mark Rutherford is the Libertarian Party National Vice Chair. Mark recently announced his personal list of the TOP 75 Libertarian Candidates running for election nationwide in 2010. I am very pleased to report that my campaign is on this prestigious list.

Besides identifying his Top 75 from a national perspective, Mark also addressed his assessment of how each state is performing.

Here's what Mark wrote about Texas:

As Libertarian Party National Vice Chair - I hear a lot about campaigns across the nation. A lot of good reports come from Texas.

The Texas Libertarian Party has really grown over the last six years, and is running very good candidates, and lots of them.

Here are some candidates and campaigns in Texas in which I'm hearing some good things:

1. John Jay Meyers 32 US House,  www.johnjaymyers.com  214-824-4150
2. David Smith 2 US House,  www.dsmithforcongress.com   832-329-5313
3. Robert Nowotny for State Rep 73,  www.needtovote.com   830-228-5950
4. Jim Prindle 4 US House,  www.prindleforcongress.com  214-909-2311
5. Bruce West 8 US House,  www.brucewestforcongress.com 281-622-0732
6. Jim Strohm 21 US House,  www.strohmforcongress.com   713-242-8691
7. Jim Stutsman 25 US House,  512-797-3905
8. Ed Mishou 27 US House,  956-541-7091

There are 160 Libertarian candidates running for office in Texas -- and to be among the eight chosen by Mark is extremely gratifying.

Of course, none of the recognition I have received over the past month or two would be possible without the tremendous support of a whole lot of people -- family, old friends and a whole bunch of new friends as well. And so I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all they have done and continue to do. Together, we can make history as I become the first Libertarian candidate elected to the Legislature in the Lone Star State!
