New York State Third Party Candidates Listing & Political Commentary Blog

Publicity Breeds Name Recognition ==> Name Recognition Breeds Name Familiarity ==>Name Familiarity Breeds Votes

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.
