The Mainstream Media would do well to remember this when they tell you that they don't
want to cover a third party candidate because he/she can't win. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy!
This site is intended to do the following:
Give a listing of all third party candidates running for Federal and State offices in New York State.
Give a listing of any Propositions that may appear on the New York State ballot.
Give linking sites where you may go to get further information on the candidate and/or party.
Offers essays in support of third party politics.
Offers other political essays.

The minor parties will soon begin having their national conventions. After their Presidential Nominees are known, they will begin filing petitions with the New York State Board of Elections. I will begin posting the candidates names and websites, where you can go to get more information on them, as soon as the NYSBOE announces that they have been filed. This DOES NOT mean that they will appear on the ballot in November as these petitions need to be approved by the NYSBOE. When the petitions are finalized and the candidates who made the cut are known, I will post a note beside the link to these candidates saying that the list is finalized. As for the State Senate and Assembly candidates, due to the fact that I have to wait until after Primary Day to see if the candidate is a true third party candidate, the final list will not be posted until given out by the NYSBOE. (Remember that this website defines a true third party candidate as one that is not also listd on the Republican or Democrat line.) What with some major names vying for the desiganation of some of the minor parties, as well as Ralph Nader in the race again, it looks to be a good year for those of us who are tired of the "politics as usual" that we get with the Republicans and Democrats. So, enjoy the coming campaigns!

left a candidate off of the list, use the following address. Please be sure to give me the full name of the candidate,
the race and district that the person is running in and an e-mail address where the candidate can be reached. This site address is completely spelled out to

the "." for the "dot" in the address.
