Libertarian Party officially forms in Harrison County

For the first time in history, the county has gained a third party, with the recent establishment of the Libertarian Party of Harrison County.

As far as I know, this is the first instance of there being an organization in Harrison County, said Michele Swint, who was appointed as chairperson by State Chair Patrick Dixon on Feb. 6.

Officials at the elections office further confirmed the historic establishment, advising that there isnt any record of a prior Libertarian Party at their office.

Swint, a resident of Hallsville, decided to look into forming one after moving here from Lamar County where she was active in the political party there.

I moved down here from Lamar County and there was no Libertarian Party here and I wanted to go to the meetings and be involved in it, she said. The closest meetings I could drive to were in Gilmer. (Thus) I stepped up to see what needed to be done to establish one (in Harrison County) and here I am.

I talked to the chairperson over the party of Texas and went through the process of making sure I met the criteria. I went through a (process) and they appointed me, she said.

The Precinct Convention was held March 11; the County Convention was held March 15; the Senate District 1 Convention was held March 22 in Longview where the party is also emerging as a third political party in Gregg County; and the upcoming State Convention will be April 11-13 in Temple.

During the convention, the party will choose its nominees for governor and other statewide offices.

The Libertarian Party, Americas third largest political party, was founded in 1971. According to the national website for the party, http://www.lp.org, Libertarians believe in the American heritage of liberty, enterprise, and personal responsibility.

Libertarians recognize the responsibility everyone shares to preserve this precious heritage for children and grandchildren.

Libertarian attorney general candidate wants to abolish death penalty

(KATV)- Libertarian party candidate for attorney general, Aaron Cash, says he believes the death penalty in Arkansas should be abolished.

Channel 7 News reported Monday that the Democratic candidate and three Republican candidates want to see executions return to Arkansas, including one Republican candidate, David Sterling, who wants to see the return of the electric chair.

Arkansas hasn't executed a prisoner on death row since 2005.

"There is a standard for cruel and unusual punishment. Surely our society has moved beyond executing citizens," Cash said, "Since 1973 more than 100 people have been released from death row. How many other innocent people are there? To me it's not worth the risk"

Cash said he believes the death penalty is often applied in an unfair and unjust manner.

"People of color are far more likely to be executed, especially if the victim is white," Cash said.

Cash said if he were attorney general, he would ask there be proposed legislation to abolish the death penalty.
