Boston Tea Party presidential nominee Charles Jay today issued a strong endorsement of the Campaign For Liberty's statement "We Agree," endorsed earlier in a joint press conference by US Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), Green Party presidential nominee Cynthia McKinney, Constitution Party presidential nominee Charles Baldwin and independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader.
"The statement calls for four things that all freedom-loving Americans should be able to agree on," said Jay. "A sane foreign policy, seizing back our right to privacy, ending government's ruinous borrow-and-spend addiction, and prying America from the grip of a debased fiat currency."
Jay, who will appear on voters' ballots in Colorado, Florida and Tennessee this November, was not invited to be part of the joint press conference, held at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.
No hard feelings, he says. "I understand that space was limited and that ballot access numbers were a likely consideration."
The Boston Tea Party was formed in 2006 to the national Libertarian Party's state of ideological and operational disintegration which, BTP founder and vice-presidential nominee Thomas Knapp of Missouri says, "has now found full and final expression in Bob Barr's presidential campaign." Jay and Knapp were nominated in June in an online convention.
Jay and Knapp urge all freedom-loving Americans to vote the Boston Tea Party ticket where possible, Ron Paul in Montana and Louisiana (where he will appear on the ballot), the BTP-endorsed alternative Libertarian Party ticket of George Phillies and Chris Bennett in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and one of the other candidates who stood behind the CFL statement on stage with Ron Paul elsewhere.
