Comments on: “Clean Elections” New Jersey Libertarian Fails to Get Injunctive Relief http://www.ballot-access.org/2007/10/30/clean-elections-new-jersey-libertarian-fails-to-get-injunctive-relief/ Sun, 12 Feb 2012 10:38:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=9186 By: Robert Jacobs http://www.ballot-access.org/2007/10/30/clean-elections-new-jersey-libertarian-fails-to-get-injunctive-relief/comment-page-1/#comment-149737 Robert Jacobs Wed, 31 Oct 2007 19:43:15 +0000 http://www.ballot-access.org/2007/10/30/clean-elections-new-jersey-libertarian-fails-to-get-injunctive-relief/#comment-149737 He may not know after becoming eligble that “Clean Elections Candidate” would not have been printed by his name. This is the first year the law went into effect. He may have only found out after the sample ballots were mailed. The judge still could have ruled for future elections so I don't believe the issue should be moot. Of course he may have been pre-occupied with trying to run for office. It is unfortunate that third party candidates have to spend what little resources they have suing judges instead of running for office. but if you are reading this, you already know this.

He should have filed soon after becoming eligible. Although his point is still valid and since most cases end up being decided after the election the court should still here the case.

It is not the campaign donations that lead to corruption, the cause of corruption is the massive amount of money collected by the state that is made available for redistribution. If the state had a budget of $1, how much corruption would there be? As our country moves closer to The United Socialist States of America, you'll only see corruption increase. I live in New Jersey and have witnessed in the District 14 trial of "Fair and Clean" that it is neither fair nor clean! It's just another way to promote D's and R's which are virtually indistinguishable here and keep independents from running. For example, News 12 New Jersey excluded Mr. Scheurer from the televised debate. If the qualified candidates have a responsibility of running fair and clean, why didn't they oppose his exclusion as requested on the youtube video below? I saw him debate in Hamilton and he did very well at connecting with the audience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9Nyq2WG9RU State funded and endorsed candidates?
