Voting in the Primary Precludes Being Delegate in Conventions of Other Parties

Houston - Jeff Daiell, a candidate for the Libertarian nomination for Texas Governor, is urging Texans to refrain from voting in the primaries of the two tax-subsidized parties. Under Texas law, voting in the primaries disqualifies a voter from being a delegate in the convention process of the Libertarian Party (or the Green, Constitution, or Reform parties).

Daiell, back from Dallas, where he debated three other contenders for the nomination (several sources declared him the winner; see www.JeffDaiell.com/node/199) said that many voters were unaware of that provision of Texas law.

"While there are some candidates in this year's primaries who defend Constitutional limits on government, such as Democrat John Wieder and Republicans Debra Medina and Ron Paul, most primary races are limited to advocates of more government,'" Daiell said. "The best way to promote the values of limited government, federalism, free markets, and civil liberties is to participate in the Libertarian convention process."

Daiell holds the record for the most votes, and the highest percentage, by a Libertarian nominee for Governor of Texas. In his current race, he has campaigned in 23 counties, with more scheduled. Daiell's platform combines support for free enterprise with respect for civil liberties. Several planks are already posted at the campaign's website, www.JeffDaiell.com, with more to be added as issues arise. The campaign also has two separate Facebook pages (Daiell for Governor), and is on Twitter (WeAreTexans) .
