Lucy Brenton for Indiana U.S. Senate

Decision 2018

GUEST EDITORIAL: Why Indiana voters should vote Brenton

As I engage with voters on the campaign trail, I hear over and over again, “Why should I vote for you?” I always welcome the opportunity to share my beliefs and Libertarian philosophies about freedom and liberty. As your senator from Indiana, I will demand a balance budget. I will end deficit spending. I will stop politicians from taxing us all into the grave and beyond. I will work to roll back and eliminate every program that is not authorized […]

How to be a (proper) soccer fan in America

Sports fans, stop me if you’ve heard this one before - but soccer is on the rise in the United States. This time, however, this isn’t just a vague assertion from a hopeful commentator hoping to inflate the sport’s relevance with words. Rather, it’s a statistically proven fact. Per Gallup, soccer’s popularity has tripled in the last decade. It’s now the United States’ third most popular sport, and is closing in on the “big three” of football, basketball, and baseball […]

EDITORIAL: Government needs re-education on the freedom of the press

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- It seems everywhere I turn around, government as a whole have tried repeatedly to interfere and infringe on the Constitutional rights of a free press. Governments are not fulfilling FOIA requests. They are also withholding pertinent information from meetings, a clear sign of internal corruption and/or incompetent politicians. The press corps are the Fourth Estate, essentially the fourth branch of government. We are essentially the governmental watchdogs for the people, holding politicians accountable and governmental bodies accountable […]

COMMENTARY: Media coverage of alternative candidates shouldn’t include attacks

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- In an election cycle where Libertarian Party and Green Party candidates have received the most media coverage in years, there are still those in the mainstream media who want to drag candidates through the mud and attack their past. This has happened to several candidates over the past months and as of Friday, Ohio House candidate Kryssi Wichers became another target of the media.

COMMENTARY: Nexstar, let Mark Tippetts debate – no excuses

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- Nearly a week ago, the national Libertarian Party issued a press release regarding Nexstar Media Group's exclusion of Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Mark Tippetts from the first gubernatorial debate slated for September 28 in Austin.

Tippetts met that mark in last month's poll conducted by the University of Texas and the Texas Tribune, meeting the requirement leaving 16 percent undecided. However, Nexstar-owned […]

COMMENTARY: Voter choice and candidate suppression needs to become a criminal offense

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- Illinois is unfortunately known for political corruption and the suppression of voter and candidate choice. It's been a common and deceptive practice that has been going on for decades. 2018, unfortunately, is no different. As of several hours ago, a warning was given by the Libertarian Party of Illinois that the Illinois Republican Party is up their usual tricks again trying to throw the party slate off the general election ticket. PUTTING THE WORD OUT: Republicans are […]

GUEST EDITORIAL: Illinois unfairly suppresses third-party candidates

The following was previously published yesterday by the Belleville News-Democrat editorial board. Maybe voter suppression isn't our problem. Maybe it's candidate suppression. Do you know who Sam McCann is? How about Grayson "Kash" Jackson? They are two choices for Illinois governor. That may confuse most folks because most folks think the two choices were made March 20. That was the Illinois primary, when billionaire J.B. Pritzker got 45 percent of the vote against five other Democrats and billionaire Bruce Rauner eked out a […]

GUEST EDITORIAL: More candidates + more choices = more voters
