Phillies on New Hampshire Ballot

Libertarian Phillies on New Hampshire Presidential Ballot

Concord, New Hampshire. The signatures are good! The New Hampshire Department of State has confirmed that George Phillies will be a Libertarian candidate for President this November. 3,000 signatures were required. Libertarian Party of New Hampshire volunteers actually submitted 3,369.

Phillies is the first Presidential candidate to qualify for the New Hampshire ballot via the petition route. He will be joined on the November ballot by Barack Obama, John McCain, and perhaps several third-party candidates. "This is the highest honor an American political party can give one of its members," Phillies said. "I look forward to campaigning in New Hampshire this Fall."

Phillies, 61, is a physicist from Worcester, Massachusetts and State Chair of the Libertarian Party of Massachusetts. His libertarian campaign themes are peace, liberty, and prosperity. "Uncle Sam should get out of your bedroom and out of your pocketbook," he said. "And he should stop trying to run your schools, too." When elected, Phillies will immediately bring the troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan, restore our Bill of Rights by ending torture and warrantless wiretaps, and balance the Federal budget.

"The Libertarian message of social tolerance, civil liberties, and small government is a natural in New Hampshire, the state where even license plates read 'Live Free or Die'," Phillies remarked. "For every dollar New Hampshirites send to D. C., Uncle Sam sends back seventy cents. That's a lousy deal, a deal that only the Libertarian Party will end. Federal taxes strip money from New Hampshire, leaving everyone poorer. That's a huge burden on the New Hampshire economy, a burden I promise to lift."
