There is also a site called www.Petitiononline.com , if the first does not suit your purpose.

 

[torchbearer]

well we got 12,000 for our petition andpaid 300 for a professional press release serious folks do not waste your time on this ,i learned

sometimes, the education gained is better learned the hard way.
Had you not gone through it... would you know how pointless it is with such certainty?
Should we not allow other to experience the same?
It would be for the best in the long run.

It matters not how many people sign.... its who signs it.
If the LP pisses off their money supply/donors... they will bend...
So, if you want to do something productive, go after the donors...

Maybe so, but they'll know for sure why they lost so much support.

This is an effort to petition the Libertarian Party to remove Bob Barr and Wayne Allen Root as their presidential and vice presidential nominees.

Perfect. Much more succinct than what I'd written.

i alreadycalled the national lp and colorado lp,they could care less what we think but i will sign your petition im just trying to warn you a lil that is all..... i support what your doing,do not get me wrong ...

 

[amy31416]

Okay, they'd like recipients and a date to send the petition to them, but that is optional.

Edit: I took the email addresses off the LP official site.

 

[speciallyblend]

if someone is willing to help pay for 12,000 emails , we could email all the www.lettertogop.com signers to join in,but i just cannot afford to email 12,000 folks

Bob Barr has lost my vote for President of the Ron Paul Fan Club. I still don't see a better candidate for President of these Unisted States, though.

I understand what you're saying, no doubt. It could be futile, but hey, it also might be worth a shot.

I have a feeling half of the people starting this petition don't even contribute to the LP. Menthol Patch trolls the board 24/7 and it's taken him 7 pages to get to "Petition Description." Personally, I don't have a problem with Bob Barr as the nominee. People here are going ape-shit because he didn't show up at the meeting, but whatever.

I know some people in the LP and was a contributing (albeit small because of my finances) member at one point....the ones saying Bob is trying to hijack the party are high on something. He offered a spot to Mary, he even offered it to Ron. He's been very generous. He didn't hijack the nomination, he was voted there, and when he tried to get a couple of the "true party members " libertarians on the ticket he was shunned.

The man tried....Mary was too stubborn to take the spot and Ron didn't want it. I suspect Ron didn't because he won't leave the Republican party and Mary wouldn't swallow her pride and put country first. Bob never said he'd wash out her ideals....

Those of you throwing fits are blowing smoke, and the so called "LP bosses" don't speak for me or other members I know in no, smaller, and prominent positions in the party. And, I know for a fact a good number of you supporting the petition and dissing Bob aren't even part of the LP, so stop trying to screw up my party's nomination, stop trying to screw everything around. You want to do something? Register and donate. If the rest of the party cared that much they would have showed up and given Mary the spot. It's only AFTER the fact that the LP throws a fit....again, nothing new for the do nothing party.

It's ironic. The party for individual liberty, following their own party rules, and all of a sudden that's pushed aside to get Barr off the ballot. Bunch of hypocrites which is part of the reason I switched my affiliation. Give me a break.

Read the party platform and tell me they aren't contradicting themselves

Is there anyone else that would like to help work on this petition?

Amy,

Please ignore these Bob Barr supporters who are trying to distract us from working on this petition. I'm not even going to respond to them.

 

[Menthol Patch]

Hello Amy,

I posted the following earlier in the thread.

The following is just an idea for some possible text. I'm not a great writer.

We, the supporters of freedom and liberty hereby petition you to immediately remove Bob Barr as the Libertarian Party nominee for President of the United States. Furthermore, we request that he not be replaced by the current vice presidential nominee Wayne Allen Root, but by another candidate.

This request is not made lightly, but with much seriousness. The actions, track record, and history of Bob Barr has divided libertarians and other liberty leaning individuals across the nation.

(A list of reasons why he should be removed would go here.)

Whereas, he broke his commitment to participate in Ron Paul's press conference.

Whereas, his history as, "the most rabid Drug Warrior in Congress" makes the idea of voting for him repugnant for anyone who values their right to control what they put into their own body.

Where as, his track record of voting for the "Patriot Act" puts fear in those that value their civil liberties and right to privacy.

Where as, his previous support for the "War in Iraq" makes it impossible for peace loving citizens to support his candidacy.

Where as,

Where as,

For these reasons we boldly petition you to remove Bob Barr and Wayne Allen Root as your presidential and vice presidential nominees.

I'm to the point of the petition text. 1,000 words or less.

 

[amy31416]
