We should applaud the many unaffi liated voters who so often choose principle over party, and it was encouraging to see an independent candidate elected to a county wide offi ce in our region. But we are a civiliza- tion of joiners due to human nature, and there will always be political parties involved in government. Those voters who prefer to cooperate with like-minded people, but are disappointed with the failures of the Democratic and Republican parties, are welcome to join the Libertar- ian Party. Founded in 1971, the Libertarian Party is the third largest politi- cal party in the United States. The LP supports fi scal conservatism and positions on social issues promoting citizen liberty. The Libertar- ian Party of Snyder County may be contacted at P.O. Box 339 Selin- sgrove, via e-mail at [email protected] or by telephone at 570-274-2040, and the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania website is at LPPA.org for your review. Maybe this is the year to move away from the political structures that disappoint us, and to become part of building a political party that brings the best of both “sides” to better government. Let’s make sure our grandchildren have more than the same two choices that have disappointed us for years. May the New Year bring liberty and prosperity to all of our friends and neighbors!
