Texas Libertarian Chairman, Pat Dixon, in the New York Times

By ROSS RAMSEY
Published: April 6, 2012
Texas is not a two-party state in the Constitution, or in the law, but it looks that way when the argument is over elections and political districts.
The Libertarians and the Greens in Texas hold no partisan political office in the state. And they were sideswiped by the redistricting litigation that delayed primaries, and by confusion over filing deadlines.
"It did affect us. It was nutty," said Patrick Dixon, who heads the Libertarian Party of Texas. "We lost some candidates because of it."
They had feared the delayed primaries would be more disruptive, keeping people off the ballot or fouling up convention plans.

"We do a little better every time," said Mr |

Why Libertarian? Because we love America and our liberty and are committed to the fight for both.Like millions of other Americans, we believe that our country and our freedoms are under attack like never before, and may well be lost if we do not act to defeat these attacks on our constitutionally-recognized rights.
We believe that we are in a bat |
