Mark Rutherford, LPIN state chairman for 7 years, has announced that he is seeking the Vice Chair position on the national level. Rutherford has partnered with Wayne Allyn Root, who is seeking the Chair position at May’s national convention.
“It is an exciting time politically for the libertarian message,” said Rutherford. “There is a huge opportunity to capture a large part of the libertarian leaning public. But the Libertarian Party must get its house in order. It must reach out to major media and it must grow an organization worthy to be called a national party.”

Indianapolis, IN — The Libertarian Party of Indiana will hold its nominating convention April 23-25, 2010. The convention will serve as a time to nominate libertarians for the party’s ballot, workshop on topics such as fundraising and campaign tips, noted speakers and a time to meet Libertarians from around Indiana. Saturday night will also feature a debate for candidates seeking the chairmanship of the national Libertarian Party.

(Editor’s Note: Jame Goldstein, wife of State Chairman Sam Goldstein, passed away Saturday after a long battle with breast cancer. Jame was a long time Libertarian activist, candidate and loved member of our Libertarian Party family. Please support her favorite charity in an effort to ensure that other loving mothers and wives are not taken too soon: The Weekend to End Breast Cancer benefiting St. Vincent Foundation.)
Jame Stuart Goldstein was born in Oakland, CA on October 20, 1957, the second daughter of Commander Charles Harnden (U.S. N. Ret.) and Loraine Harnden. As a Navy brat she grew up in Albuquerqe, New Mexico, Corpus Christi, Texas, Sunnyvale and Alameda California, Atsugi, Japan and Memphis, Tennessee.
Jame moved to Indianapolis in her early 20s and helped manage her parent’s fitness center for several years before deciding to attend Indiana University School of Nursing where she graduated with Highest Honors. While a staff nurse at Methodist Hospital, Jame decided to further her education at the Indiana University School of Law and graduated Cum Laude. She practiced law as an attorney at Caplin, Park, Tousley and McCoy for over 16 years even during her first bout with breast cancer in 1997. She began feeling ill again in early 2005 and received the horrible news that her cancer had returned and was now metastatic.
Following her initial treatments for metastatic breast cancer she felt well enough to open her own law office which she was able to maintain for several years until the fall of 2009. She was a meticulous and caring advocate for her Social Security Disability clients.

Ed Coleman left the Republican party (because it left him) a year ago yesterday. Coleman is at-large, and represents a million people. The conventional wisdom is that Libertarians serving in government are such a minority, that achieving anything is meaningless. Local Republican blogger Paul Ogden notes some of the issues that Libertarians have stood against.
This bird’s eye view from a member of another party shows the effectiveness that we as a third party can have at raising issues in a high-profile, evenly divided political climate. It only takes one Libertarian to gum up the works of “bipartisanship.”

While the Republican Party continues to check the polls to find out what’s popular or not, the Libertarian Party will continue to stand firm on the principles of smaller government and personal responsibility. If we don’t, who will?
