	Libertarian Party (United States) - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The Libertarian Party was formed in the home of David Nolan on 11 December 1971, after several months of debate among members of the Committee to Form a Libertarian Party.
		The Libertarian Party has run in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia in four elections: 1980, 1992, 1996, and 2000, although an intraparty dispute in 2000 led to a different candidate being listed on the ballot in Arizona that year than in all the other states.
		The Libertarian Party presidential candidates have performed poorly relative to third party/independent candidates Ross Perot (in 1992 and 1996) and Ralph Nader (in 2000 and 2004).

	Independence Party Platform
		The Independence Party is committed to the concept that voters have an inherent right to a democratic choice in all their elections, and that the only way to guarantee that right is to insure that challengers have relatively equal access to resources.
		The reality is that neither party has proposed anything that approaches a solution to this problem, and both parties and their candidates are periodically guilty of absurd propaganda against the other in the pursuit of electoral advantage on this issue.
		However, the Independence Party stands steadfastly opposed to discrimination, prejudice and racism in their myriad of forms, and we do not believe that anyone should be discriminated against on the basis of his or her sexual preference.
