Colleagues, We're finally here, the day before Election Day. Our candidates and volunteers have put a LOT of hard work into this campaign season. We've put out thousands of door hangers, spent hours handing out fliers and talking to our friends; driving yard signs across counties has become some peoples' default Sunday afternoon activity! I and a number of others can tell you from personal experience: it's been paying off.
People are hearing us, people are excited. Robert Sarvis, our gubernatorial candidate is polling at record high numbers, numbers that never faltered as we have come closer to November 5th. The reactions our Delegate candidates and volunteers have received while canvassing has been phenomenal. And you know what? The other guys are now scared. You may be peripherally aware of the current smear campaign against Robert Sarvis; maybe you got an email from "Virginians who love Liberty" or some generic name; maybe you got an email from a Mr Laze exclaiming "this Libertarian is breaking ranks and voting for Sarvis!" I got some of these, and laughed. These folks sending out these exclamations are not Libertarian Party members, but are part of the scared Republican machine that's kicking into high gear. Part of the same smear campaign that's trying to paint Sarvis as "not libertarian enough", or lying about creating new taxes. We all know that's completely bogus<http://barticles.blogs.timesdispatch.com/2013/11/01/cuccinelli-is-no-libertarian-sarvis-is/>. Robert Sarvis is blowing away expectations with his rational, down-to-earth demeanor, and true solutions <http://robertsarvis.com/issues>. As a colleague of mine always says, "it's not about this election, it's about the next election." The fact that we've ruffled so many feathers this year is a SIGN OF OUR SUCCESS! Voting for one candidate "because Virginia just can't have the other guy" is ridiculous. Both of the big parties will both grow government. If liberty-minded activists want to work within the two bigger parties, they should work on getting better candidates instead of lying about ours<http://reason.com/blog/2013/10/29/no-sarvis-isnt-costing-cuccinelli-the-vi> . The best part of all - your vote actually matters if you vote for Sarvis.If the LPVA gubernatorial candidate gets 10% of the vote, we earn major party status in Virginia. This will save us thousands of dollars in the long run, and enable us to run more candidates in the future. See this heartfelt message<https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=531221236968292&set=a.174086072681812.42470.101117039978716&type=1>from Robert's wife Astrid on what this means for Virginia in the long run. Don't forget to vote tomorrow. We have a number of amazing candidates<http://lpva.com/HTML/ourCandidates.php> running this year. Vote for them. Vote for freedom. In Liberty, Laura Delhomme Communications Director, Libertarian Party of Virginia http://lpva.com <http://lpva.com/> <http://lpva.com/> If you have any questions about Robert Sarvis, any of our Delegate candidates, or the Libertarian Party, please feel free to email. I'm taking off work today and tomorrow for the Northern Virginia GOTV effort, and have my phone (and charger!) with me. If you want to help hand out Sarvis fliers at polling places, let me or one of the SCC members know, we'll get you in touch with the right people who can give you lit, time, and place. ############################################################# Have an announcement you'd like to post?
