Umbehr earns endorsement of Libertarian leader

Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Keen Umbehr received the endorsement Wednesday of a former New Mexico governor and 2012 presidential candidate.

Gary Johnson, who was the Libertarian Party's nominee for president two years ago and was Republican governor of New Mexico from 1995 to 2003, recommended Umbehr rather than Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, of Topeka, and Democratic Party nominee Paul Davis, of Lawrence.

"Keen Umbehr has been fighting for more transparent and accountable government for over 25 years," Johnson said. "The man has repeatedly risked everything to do the right thing."

Johnson said Umbehr was the best candidate based on a "proven background and steadfast commitment to uphold the Constitution."

Umbehr, an Alma attorney, said Johnson worked as a gatekeeper of poorly drafted legislation in New Mexico. In eight years, he said, Johnson vetoed more than 700 bills.

"He also had the most open governor's office imaginable, setting aside one afternoon each week when anyone could schedule a short meeting directly with the governor for any reason," Umbehr said. "That's good and transparent government and I'll follow his lead on both of these policies."

Libertarian gubernatorial candidate says he's offering real solutions

DUNEDIN --

Adrian Wyllie isn't showing any signs of letting up.

It is less than a week before Election Day and the Libertarian candidate for governor is still stumping in Florida.

A Palm Harbor resident, Wyllie has campaigned on eliminating property taxes and red light cameras. He also has said he would cut the state budget, including school funding, by 30 percent.

Wyllie spoke with voters at Flanagan's Irish Pub in Dunedin on Tuesday and has plans to try and drum up more support today in St. Petersburg.

Wyllie told the pub crowd they are in for a few more days of what he calls "the negative ads" from Gov. Rick Scott and former-governor and Democratic challenger Charlie Crist.

"Well, it means there's gonna be even more attack ads on TV probably," Wyllie said about Gov. Scott writing a personal check for $20 million to his campaign. "It's a real shame that these guys have run this campaign the way they have.

"Both Rick Scott and Charlie Crist have run a totally negative campaign, you know, acted like children in the debates and they're not talking about the issues that are really important to the people to Florida. And I feel like I'm the only one out there offering real solutions."

Wyllie remains a distant third in the polls.

Gov. Scott and Crist remain close in the polls while Wyllie has garnered about seven percent.

Nigeria: No Election Held in Warri North LG, Says APC

By Gabriel Enogholase

WARRI-- All Progressives Congress, APC, yesterday, claimed that no election took place in Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State during last Saturday's council polls, threatening to go to court.

This came even as members recounted how they were allegedly attacked by suspected political thugs.

While victims of the alleged attacks were said to be receiving treatment at unnamed hospitals in the state, no fewer than 30 vehicles of APC and its members were equally said to have been vandalized by the thugs.

Meanwhile, women of Gbokoda, Udo, Tebu and Aja Amita communities in Warri North, yesterday, demanded a re-run of the local government elections for them to elect their true leaders.

The women, on the platform of Women Forum, WF, in a petition addressed to the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 5, Benin, and copied to Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan, Commissioner of Police, Department of State Service, DSS, Asaba; JTF Commander, among others, expressed total rejection of the outcome of the elections.

While declaring that no election took place in the local government, state Organizing Secretary of APC, Mr. Amorighoye Mene, described the present administration in the state as "bad and wicked," claiming that Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was not on ground in North Warri Local Government.

Mene alleged that PDP, led by a Warri Chief (names withheld) brought thugs to attack APC members and destroyed more than 30 vehicles belonging to them.

APC councillorship candidate for Abi-Ugborodo ward in Warri North Local Government, Mr. George Inowandajegha, said: "I was attacked with a machete by PDP thugs."

Another victim of the alleged attack is Mr. Siko Eyenmi, from Ogbonbiri, who is APC vice chairmanship candidate for Warri North.
