A >> THE MAJOR POLITICAL PARTY
00:00:31CANDIDATES ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES
AND ON THE BALLOT.
00:00:33I TALK WITH CANDIDATES FROM THE
I GREEN PARTY AND THE
00:00:35LIBERTARIAN PARTY OF OHIO THIS
WEEK IN "THE STATE OF OHIO".
00:00:39A >> THERE ARE 10 MAJOR
POLITICAL PARTY CANDIDATES IN
00:00:53THE FIVE EXECUTIVE OFFICE RACES
-- NINE OF THEM HAVE APPEARED ON
00:00:55THIS SHOW IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS.
THERE ARE ALSO MAJOR PARTY
00:01:00CANDIDATES FOR THE U.S. SUPREME
COURT AND IN ALL BUT ONE
00:01:03CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT -- THERE
IS NO DEMOCRAT RUNNING IN THE
00:01:057TH IN EAST CENTRAL OHIO.
THERE ARE ONLY MAJOR PARTY
00:01:07CANDIDATES IN THE 17 STATE
SENATE RACES, THOUGH FOUR HAVE
00:01:09NO DEMOCRATS.
BUT IN THE 99 HOUSE RACES, THERE
00:01:15ARE SEVERAL THIRD PARTY
CANDIDATES.
00:01:17MEMBERS OF THE GREEN PARTY ARE
RUNNING IN THREE HOUSE RACES,
00:01:20AND TWO PEOPLE WELL KNOWN TO THE
PARTY ARE AT THE TOP OF THE
00:01:27TICKET RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR.
THEY ARE ANITA RIOS, A LATINA,
00:01:35LABOR AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS
ACTIVIST, AND BOB FITRAKIS, A
00:01:38COLUMBUS AREA PROFESSOR AND
LAWYER.
00:01:41THEY ARE RUNNING AGAINST AS A
TEAM AFTER GETTING A LITTLE OVER
00:01:441% OF THE VOTE IN 2006, WITH
FITRAKIS AS THE CANDIDATE FOR
00:01:46GOVERNOR AND RIOS HIS RUNNING
MATE.
00:01:55A YOU ARE YOU EARNING TO YOU OR
TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE?
00:02:02BOTH.
IF WE GET 2% THAT HELPS OUR
00:02:07CANDIDATES WHO COME NEXT AND
HELPS US TO STRENGTHEN AND HELPS
00:02:11US TO GROW.
>> YOU HAVE BEEN ON THE BALLOT
00:02:15BEFORE TOGETHER BUT IN THE
DIFFERENT POSITIONS.
00:02:16YOU ARE RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR AND
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
00:02:20IN THIS ELECTION THE GREEN PARTY
CANDIDATE IS THE ONLY
00:02:24THIRD-PARTY CANDIDATE.
YOU ARE VOTING AGAINST THE TWO
00:02:33MAJOR CANDIDATES AND YOU MIGHT
GET A RECORD RESULT BECAUSE OF
00:02:34THAT.
NO GREEN PARTY CANDIDATE HAS
00:02:35GOTTEN 2%.
DOES THAT BOTHER YOU THAT PEOPLE
00:02:38HAVE VOTED FOR YOU BUT AGAINST
THE OTHER CANDIDATES?
00:02:43>> WE ARE NOT TIED TO CORPORATE
MONEY IKE THE DEMOCRATS AND
00:02:49REPUBLICANS NATIONALLY.
WE DO NOT RAISE A BILLION
00:02:51DOLLARS AND THEY'RE VOTING FOR
US AS WE ARE NOT THE STATUS QUO.
00:02:53MANY ARE VOTING FOR US BECAUSE
WE ARE 40 -- WE ARE FOR FULL
00:03:02LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA.
WE FIGHT FOR 15 DOLLARS FOR
00:03:06MINIMUM WAGE.
>> AND WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE
00:03:09FUNDRAISING.
JOHN KASICH HAS RAISED TWO AND A
00:03:12HALF MILLION DOLLARS.
LET ME ASK YOU HOW MUCH HAVE YOU
00:03:19FOLKS RAISED IN DID YOU EXPECT
TO BE COMPETITIVE IN A RACE
00:03:22WHERE YOU HAVE TO RAISE THAT
KIND OF MONEY?
00:03:24>> I WENT TO THE BANK AND I WANT
TO SAY WE DO NOT HAVE OUR MONEY
00:03:29IN A BANK.
WE HAVEN'T AN IN A CREDIT UNION.
00:03:30WE WANT TO CHANGE THE WAY THAT
CAMPAIGNS ARE DONE IN THIS STATE
00:03:37AND IN THE COUNTRY.
WE WANT PARADIGM SHIFT.
00:03:40WE THINK THERE IS TOO MUCH MONEY
IN CAMPAIGNS ALREADY.
00:03:42WE KNOW WHAT THAT DOES.
IT MEANS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO GET
00:03:46ELECTED ARE INDEBTED TO THOSE
PEOPLE WHO FILL THEIR COFFERS.
00:03:51THIS IS A DO IT YOURSELF
CAMPAIGN.
00:03:54WE ARE DOING WHAT WE CAN WITH
THE LIMITED RESOURCES WE HAVE ON
00:03:59HAND AND WE HOPE WE PROVIDE A
MODEL FOR THE FUTURE FOR FUTURE
00:04:03CAMPAIGNS AND WE ENCOURAGE OTHER
PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE DEEP
00:04:06POCKETS AND ARE NOT WILLING TO
COMPROMISE THEIR VALUES AND
00:04:09THEIR POINTS OF VIEW.
TO GET INTO THE POLITICAL FRAY
00:04:15AND RUN FOR OFFICE THEMSELVES,
YOU DO NOT NEED $1 MILLION TO DO
00:04:18IT.
YOU NEED SOME AT IDEAS AND A FEW
00:04:21GOOD PEOPLE TO HELP YOU OUT.
>> LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT SOME OF
00:04:24THOSE IDEAS.
SOME OF YOUR ISSUES SEEM
00:04:28UNLIKELY TO THE POINT OF NEVER.
AND THERE IS A MORATORIUM ON
00:04:35FRACKING, DECLARING AMNESTY FOR
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS BUT SOME
00:04:41ISSUES MIGHT HAVE SOME TRACTION.
YOU MENTIONED THE LEGALIZATION
00:04:44OF MARIJUANA AND THE CLOSING OF
ABORTION CLINICS.
00:04:47>> THE BIGGEST ECONOMY IN THE
U.S., THE STATE WITH THE BEST
00:04:56ECONOMY, NORTH DAKOTA.
THE ONLY STATE WITH THE STATE
00:04:58BANK THAT KEEPS THE MONEY
INVESTED -- INVESTED IN THE
00:05:00STATE AND PROVIDES JOBS IN OHIO.
WITH OUR STATE BANK WE WILL
00:05:11INVEST IN OHIO IN REAL OHIO
JOBS.
00:05:13LET ME ASK YOU THE COLLABORATION
WITH THE NSA WHICH YOU CALLED AN
00:05:20ILLEGAL ORGANIZATION MAKING
COLLABORATION.
00:05:22-- MAKING IT A FELONY.
DO YOU SUSPECT SOME OF THESE
00:05:28ISSUES WILL HAVE TRACTION?
>> WE THINK IT IS IMPORTANT.
00:05:30WE THINK THAT IT IS SHAMEFUL TO
THINK AMERICANS THINK THEY HAVE
00:05:41TO GIVE US THEIR RIGHTS.
LET'S HAVE THAT DIALOGUE.
00:05:48LET'S START TALKING ABOUT IT AND
FIGURE OUT BETTER WAYS TO KEEP
00:05:54US SAFE THAT DO NOT REQUIRE THAT
WE GO BACK AND GIVE US ALL THOSE
00:05:59LIBERTIES THAT WE THOUGHT WERE
OUR RIGHTS.
00:06:03>> AND THE ISSUE OF UNDOCUMENTED
IMMIGRANTS.
00:06:05THAT IS SOMETHING THAT A STATE
CANNOT DO MUCH INDIVIDUALLY.
00:06:10>> THE MAYOR OF COLUMBUS WHEN HE
SAID HE WAS PRO-IMMIGRATION.
00:06:15HE CAN PROVIDE SANCTUARY.
I THINK YOU CAN TWEET -- TREAT
00:06:23ALSO LISTENS THE SAME.
IN THE STATE EVERYONE WILL BE
00:06:31TREATED EQUALLY AND WE ARE NOT
GOING TO DECLARE, WE WELCOME
00:06:35IMMIGRATION.
THE IMMIGRANTS I HAVE MET HAVE
00:06:40MADE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS
COUNTRY.
00:06:43I AM NOT SURE MY GRANDFATHER WAS
EVEN A LEGAL IMMIGRANT.
00:06:47>> YOU TALK ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL
CONCERNS, A WATER IN TOLEDO.
00:06:51DO YOU FEEL LIKE THIS IS AN AREA
WHERE YOU CAN STAND OUT, THE
00:06:56OTHER CANDIDATES HAVE TALKED
ABOUT THE ECONOMY AND OTHER
00:07:02THINGS.
>> YOU LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED IN
00:07:04TOLEDO.
THE REALITY IS IT DID NOT HAPPEN
00:07:07OVERNIGHT.
THOSE PROBLEMS EXISTED FOR
00:07:08YEARS.
THE OTHER DAY I PULLED OUT SOME
00:07:10NEWSLETTERS FROM LAKE ERIE WATER
KEEPERS AND I WAS LOOKING AT THE
00:07:14NEWSLETTER.
IT WAS TALKING ABOUT THE ALGAE
00:07:19BLOOMS AND IT WAS A YEAR OLD.
YOU CAN GO BACK EVEN FARTHER.
00:07:23WE KNOW WHAT CAUSE THE WATER TO
BE SO POLLUTED THAT YOU COULD
00:07:27NOT EVEN DRINK IT.
YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
00:07:31NOBODY HAD THE COURAGE TO STAND
UP AND REGULATE RUNOFF.
00:07:34WE WOULD DO THAT.
WE FEEL THE ENVIRONMENT IS SO
00:07:38IMPORTANT AND WITH THE ISSUE OF
FRACKING, WE ARE HAVING
00:07:43EARTHQUAKES IN PLACES WE HAVE
NEVER HAD THEM BEFORE.
00:07:44I THINK THAT IT IS PRUDENT NOW
TO STAND UP AND SAY WE HAVE TO
00:07:50STEP BACK.
WE HAVE TO DO WHAT IS SAFE FOR
00:07:54OUR COMMUNITIES.
WE HAVE TO TAKE ANOTHER PATH.
00:07:55AMERICAN INGENUITY HAS SHOWN
TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT WE CAN
00:08:00DO THAT.
>> LET ME ASK YOU, THIS IS NOT
00:08:05YOUR FIRST RODEO.
YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU WERE TO BE
00:08:10SUCCESSFUL, YOU WOULD BE COMING
UP AGAINST THE LEGISLATURE THAT
00:08:12IS CONSERVATIVE NOW AND EXPERT
SUGGEST IT MIGHT BE MORE
00:08:19CONSERVATIVE.
HOW WOULD YOU DO THESE THINGS
00:08:22AGAINST THE LEGISLATURE THAT
WOULD BE FIGHTING YOU?
00:08:23>> THE GOVERNOR HAS ENORMOUS
POWER AND PARTICULARLY CONTROL
00:08:28OVER A CERTAIN STATE OF
BUREAUCRACIES.
00:08:31WE WOULD DO SOMETHING AS SIMPLE
AS LET THE OHIO EPA DO ITS JOB
00:08:34WHICH JOHN KASICH DID NOT.
WHEN THE OHIO EPA FOUND
00:08:38RADIOACTIVITY IN THE FRACKING
WATER, THE GOVERNOR HANDED IT
00:08:40OVER TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
NATURAL RESOURCES AND THEN PUT
00:08:45TOGETHER AN ENEMIES LIST TO GO
AFTER FRACTIVISTS.
00:08:52WE WILL HAVE A DEBATE.
WE WILL NOT SIGN EVERY
00:08:59REACTIONARY BILL INTO LAW.
THE LEGISLATURE WOULD BE ANITA
00:09:01RIOS AND SHE WOULD USE THE POWER
OF THE VETO.
00:09:05>> YOU WERE INVITED TO DEBATE
WITH JOHN KASICH NOT INVOLVE.
00:09:12WHY DID YOU AGREE TO DEBATE A
CANDIDATE WITH WHOM YOU HAVE
00:09:20SOME COMMON GROUND PERHAPS AND
WHAT DID YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH?
00:09:21>> I THINK ALTHOUGH WE DO HAVE
SOME COMMON GROUND WITH ED
00:09:30FITZGERALD, WE ARE VERY
DIFFERENT.
00:09:33I SEE HIM IDENTIFY HIMSELF AS A
FISCAL CONSERVATIVE.
00:09:35I AM NOT A FISCAL CONSERVATIVE.
I HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS ABOUT HOW
00:09:41WE HAVE TO CHANGE OUR ECONOMY,
SO I CAN BE A VERY VIBRANT
00:09:43DEBATE.
I WAS NOT DOING IT FOR ED
00:09:48FITZGERALD.
I WAS NOT DOING IT FOR MYSELF,
00:09:50EITHER.
I WAS DOING IT BECAUSE THE
00:09:52VOTERS DESERVE TO SEE WHAT
PEOPLE WHO ARE ASKING FOR THEIR
00:09:53VOTE CAN DO AS THEY INTERACT
WITH EACH OTHER.
00:09:57AS THEY TALK TO EACH OTHER AND
THEY TALK ABOUT IDEAS.
00:10:01I THINK THAT IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT
OUR GOVERNOR REFUSES TO STAND
00:10:05THERE WITH US AND ENGAGE IN THAT
DEBATE.
00:10:07IT IS NOT FOR ME AND ED
FITZGERALD.
00:10:10IT IS FOR THE VOTERS TO BE ABLE
TO COMPARE AND CONTRAST OUR
00:10:14IDEAS.
>> YOU KEEP COMING BACK A COUPLE
00:10:21DIFFERENT TIMES.
>> AND RAN ABOUT -- AGAINST JOHN
00:10:22KASICH AND HE REFUSED TO DEBATE
ME.
00:10:25WHAT WAS THE ISSUE?
NAFTA.
00:10:27>> WHY IS THE TICKET WITH YOU
FOLKS DIFFERENT, NOT THAT THERE
00:10:37IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
YOU ARE THE GOVERNOR'S CANDIDATE
00:10:40LAST TIME.
THIS TIME IT SLIPPED.
00:10:43WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO DO IT THAT
WAY THIS TIME?
00:10:45>> ANITA INDICATED SHE WANTED TO
RUN.
00:10:51SHE IS EMINENTLY QUALIFIED AND I
CONSIDERED IT A PRIVILEGE.
00:10:54IT REMINDS ME OF SWEDEN WHERE
THE SUITES WERE ASKED IN THE
00:10:56SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC ARTY, WHAT ARE
YOU DOING, YOU HAVE A QUOTA OF
00:11:0250 MEN AND 50 WOMEN AND THEY
SAID IF WE TRY HARD WEEKEND FIND
00:11:05HALF OF THE MEN THAT ARE
QUALIFIED.
00:11:07IT JUST TAKES LONGER.
ANITA IS VERY QUALIFIED TO BE
00:11:11GOVERNOR.
>> THE FACT THAT YOU ARE THE
00:11:14ONLY THIRD-PARTY OR INDEPENDENT
CANDIDATE ON THE BALLOT.
00:11:16WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT THE
STATE OF INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES
00:11:19IN OHIO THAT YOU FOLKS ARE THE
ONLY ONE THERE?
00:11:21>> OUR LEGISLATURE REFUSED TO
LISTEN TO THE COURTS THE FIRST
00:11:30TIME THEY STRUCK DOWN OHIO'S
LAWS REGARDING HOW ONE BECOMES A
00:11:38POLITICAL PARTY.
AND WHEN HE HAD AND PASSED
00:11:40ANOTHER UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW --
WENT AHEAD AND PASSED ANOTHER
00:11:45UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW AND MADE IT
A CALL FOR US AND THE
00:11:51CONSTITUTIONAL AND SOCIALIST
PARTY AND SHAME ON THEM FOR
00:11:54PLAYING POLITICS WITH THE LAW.
IT COMES DOWN TO THE LAWS ARE
00:11:57STACKED AGAINST US.
I KNOW THAT THE -- THEY HAVE
00:12:05SOME GOOD CANDIDATES.
BUT NOT FOR GOVERNOR.
00:12:08THAT IS PLAYING PARTY POLITICS
AT EVERY LEVEL OF OUR STATE
00:12:15LEGISLATURE.
>> WHAT LEVEL WOULD YOU HAVE TO
00:12:20REACH, WHAT PERCENTAGE WOULD YOU
HAVE TO GET THAT WOULD ALLOW YOU
00:12:24TO BE CONSIDERED A CANDIDATE, A
TICKET, A PARTY WHERE YOU WOULD
00:12:28BE INVITED TO DEBATE, YOU WOULD
THE PART OF THE PROCESS?
00:12:30>> I THINK NATIONALLY, THEY
USUALLY TALK ABOUT 15%.
00:12:36I WOULD POINT OUT WHEN JESSE
VENTURE A WO -- VENTURA WON,
00:12:43THEY LET HIM IN THE DEBATE.
THE MAJORITY OF THE STATE
00:12:52DECIDED THEY AGREED WITH HIM AND
NOT THE TWO MAJOR PARTIES.
00:12:54I BELIEVE THIS IS VERY EUROPEAN.
THAT ALL PARTIES HAVE A RIGHT TO
00:13:01APPEAR ON THE BALLOT TO DEBATE
AND I ALSO BELIEVE ALL OF THOSE
00:13:06MINOR PARTIES ARE CONSTITUTIONAL
-- THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
00:13:10WERE DEFEATED BY A LEGISLATURE
THAT IS CONTEMPTUOUS OF THE U.S.
00:13:15CONSTITUTION AND PARTY.
VOTE THE ALTERNATIVE.
00:13:20THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
>> THERE ARE SEVEN CANDIDATES
00:13:28FROM THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY OF
OHIO IN THE 99 OHIO HOUSE RACES,
00:13:30BUT THERE ARE NO LIBERTARIAN
CANDIDATES IN THE RACE FOR
00:13:33GOVERNOR -- CHARLIE EARL WAS
TOSSED FROM THE BALLOT IN MARCH
00:13:35BY REPUBLICAN SECRETARY OF STATE
JON HUSTED, WHO SAID PAID
00:13:37SIGNATURE GATHERERS BROKE THE
LAW BY NOT DISCLOSING WHO
00:13:39EMPLOYED THEM.
ATTORNEY GENERAL CANDIDATE
00:13:41STEVEN LINNABARY WAS REMOVED
TOO.
00:13:43BUT LIBERTARIAN BOB BRIDGES
REMAINS IN THE RACE FOR AUDITOR,
00:13:45AND THE PARTY'S EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR KEVIN KNEDLER IS
00:13:47RUNNING FOR SECRETARY OF STATE.
WELCOME TO THE PROGRAM.
00:13:54FIRST OF ALL, WHAT IS THE FUTURE
OF THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY IN
00:13:58OHIO?
YOU DID TRY TO GET CANDIDATES ON
00:13:59THE DOLLAR IN ALL THE EXECUTIVE
RACES.
00:14:03YOU DO HAVE CANDIDATES FOR
AUDITOR AND SECRETARY OF STATE.
00:14:11YOU HAVE FOUGHT IN COURT FOR
MOST OF THIS YEAR TO TRY TO GET
00:14:13ESPECIALLY CHARLIE EARL INTO THE
RACE FOR GOVERNOR.
00:14:16THIS WEEK HE FOUND OUT THAT IS
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AND YOU
00:14:20DECIDED NOT TO APPEAL THAT.
WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF THE
00:14:25LIBERTARIAN PARTY?
>> WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR 10
00:14:27YEARS.
THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE OFFICES
00:14:29AGAINST SECRETARIES OF STATE AND
THE STATE.
00:14:30FREEDOM OF HAVING CANDIDATES ON
THE BALLOT, THIS HAS BEEN A LONG
00:14:36WAR.
IT STARTED IN 2004.
00:14:38WE LOST A BATTLE HERE THIS LAST
WEEK.
00:14:40I CONSIDER IT A BATTLE, NOT THE
WAR.
00:14:44WE WILL CONTINUE ON.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO APPEAL THE
00:14:47COURT'S DECISION, RESPECT IT, DO
NOT LIKE IT, RESPECT IT.
00:14:51WE ARE NOT GOING TO TIE THIS
THING AND CONFUSE THE VOTERS
00:14:54TWO-WEEK BEFORE THE ELECTION.
THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE ARE
00:14:59PACKING UP OUR TENTS AND GOING
HOME.
00:15:00THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY IS THE
LARGEST.
00:15:03WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
FIGHT AGAINST SENATE BILL 193
00:15:09WHICH WAS PASSED LAST YEAR.
THAT IS STILL IN PLAY SO THAT IS
00:15:12OUR NEXT FOCUS ON THAT LAW
OVERALL FOR OHIO.
00:15:16>> WHAT DOES THIS DECISION MEAN
IN TERMS OF YOUR STATUS.
00:15:21YOU DROPPED BELOW THE 2% NUMBER
THERE IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE
00:15:27BALLOT IN THE GOVERNOR'S RACE.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:15:29>> THE 2% ARBITRARY NUMBER AND I
WOULD QUESTION THAT BECAUSE WHY
00:15:38DID THEY SINGLE OUT A GOVERNOR
RACE AND MANY STATES HAVE
00:15:40MULTIPLE BALLOTS, THERE ARE WAYS
TO FIX THIS AND WE HAVE NOT BEEN
00:15:49ABLE TO GET IT DONE WITH CERTAIN
PEOPLE IN THE STATE HOUSE.
00:15:51OUR POSITION IS THE CHALLENGE IN
COURT IS STILL IN PLAY.
00:15:57BECAUSE IT IS IN PLAY WE EXPECT
TO REMAIN ON THE BALLOT FOR 15.
00:16:03WE ARE GOING TO HAVE CANDIDATES
ON THE BALLOT IN 2015 AND
00:16:08MUNICIPAL AREAS, SOME OF WHICH
ARE PARTISAN WHICH WOULD
00:16:10GENERATE A PRIMARY.
THIS HAS GOT TO BE WORKED OUT
00:16:15AND THE COURT -- IN THE COURTS.
WE DO PLAN TO STAY ON THE BALLOT
00:16:20THROUGH 15 AND GET INTERACTIVE
WITH WE CAN.
00:16:22IF NOT, WE HAVE TO TAKE ANOTHER
COURSE OF ACTION.
00:16:24IT COMES DOWN TO BASIC, THE
BASIC RECENT THING TO DO, TO
00:16:30ALLOW VOTERS TO HAVE CHOICES.
IT SEEMS TO WORK FINE IN ALL
00:16:36THESE OTHER STATES AND IT WORKS
FINE IN MANY OTHER COUNTRIES.
00:16:38INCLUDING WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF
TROOPS.
00:16:42MULTIPLE PARTIES IN OHIO.
THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE
00:16:44FACT YOU CANNOT THINK
OUT-OF-THE-BOX.
00:16:48YOU CANNOT THING BE ON THE
NUMBER OF TWO, TWO PARTIES AND
00:16:53THAT IS WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO
FIX.
00:16:54>> THERE ARE SOME FOLKS WHO FEEL
LIKE THIS IS YOUR BEST YEAR TO
00:17:00GET SOME GOOD NUMBERS BECAUSE
THERE ARE SOME VERY FRUSTRATED
00:17:04VOTERS OUT THERE.
SOME FRUSTRATED DEMOCRATS AND
00:17:07REPUBLICANS WHO ARE ANGRY WITH
GOVERNOR KASICH.
00:17:10THERE IS SOME SUGGESTION THAT IS
WHY THE CHALLENGE WAS FILED
00:17:17AGAINST CHARLIE EARL.
TELL ME ABOUT WHAT KIND OF YEAR
00:17:19THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN UNDER
DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES.
00:17:21>> WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN IS NOT
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:17:25I TALKED TO CHARLIE YESTERDAY
AND HE IS ONE OF THE BEST
00:17:29CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR WE WOULD
HAVE PUT DOWN TO THIS POINT.
00:17:31AND HE HAD THE MESSAGE, HE
RESONATED NOT ONLY WITH THE LEFT
00:17:40BUT THE RIGHT.
THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY DRAWS FROM
00:17:42ALL PARTS OF THE SPECTRUM.
I KNOW FROM FORMER DEMOCRATS ARE
00:17:46IN THE PARTY, I KNOW FORMER
REPUBLICANS AND THE BIGGEST BLOC
00:17:50OF PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE
LIBERTARIAN PARTY ARE PEOPLE WHO
00:17:52WERE INDEPENDENT OR HAD NOT BEEN
VOTING.
00:17:53THEY HAD GIVEN UP ON THE TWO
CHOICES, HAD STAYED HOME AND
00:18:00THEY ARE BACK.
I THINK WE WOULD WANT MORE
00:18:02PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PRIMARY WE
00:18:07JUST HAD THIS YEAR AND IT WAS
BELOW 20%, THAT IS PATHETIC.
00:18:11I THINK THIS ELECTION COMING UP
IN TWO WEEKS, YOU MAY HAVE A
00:18:15VOTER TURNOUT THAT EQUALS MAY BE
1998 OR 2002, IT MAY BE THAT
00:18:20SUPPRESSED.
I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.
00:18:24WHEN YOU HAVE MORE CHOICES ON
THE BALLOT, I THINK IT IS MORE
00:18:27EXCITING FOR THE CITIZEN VOTER.
IT IS MORE EXCITING FOR THE
00:18:30MEDIA.
I AGREE.
00:18:32WE HAD AN EXCELLENT CANDIDATE.
THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE DO NOT
00:18:38HAVE OTHER CANDIDATES ON THE
BALLOT AND WE HAVE GOOD
00:18:41CANDIDATES AT THE STATED
DISTRICT LEVEL.
00:18:42>> DO YOU THINK THAT ONE OR BOTH
OF THE PARTIES TRIED TO GET YOU
00:18:47OFF THE BALLOT?
>> THAT HAS BEEN MADE PRETTY
00:18:49CLEAR.
IF ANYONE READS THE FINAL
00:18:50BRIEFING IN THE COURT CASE,
SIXTH CIRCUIT, IT WAS CLEAR THAT
00:18:56THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WAS BEHIND
THIS.
00:19:00SOME OF THEIR OPERATIVES, SOME
PRETTY WELL-KNOWN THAT
00:19:03ORCHESTRATED THIS PROTEST.
IT IS VERY CLEAR AND WE SHOW
00:19:06THAT.
AND THEY WERE AFTER US BUT IT IS
00:19:09NOT UNIQUE TO OHIO.
THE PLAYBOOK FROM THE REPUBLICAN
00:19:14PARTY IS BEING PLAYED OUT IN
KENTUCKY, MICHIGAN, NEW YORK,
00:19:19ILLINOIS.
THERE WERE OTHER STATES WHERE
00:19:21THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DID SIMILAR
THINGS TO TRY TO KEEP THE
00:19:23THIRD-PARTY PRIMARY, THE
LIBERTARIANS OFF THE BALLOT.
00:19:27WE ARE THE BIGGEST OF THE
ALTERNATIVE PARTY.
00:19:29WE ARE THE EASIER TARGET.
>> IT SHOULD BE SAID THAT THE
00:19:32OPERATIVES, KERRY CASEY SAID
[INAUDIBLE]
00:19:44>> YOU ARE ON THE BALLOT FOR
SECRETARY OF STATE.
00:19:52LET ME ASK ABOUT THE PUBLIC
STANCES ON SOME ISSUES.
00:19:55YOU TOOK STANCES AGAINST COMMON
CORE, FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY,
00:20:04MEMBERS ARE --
>> LET ME INTERJECT.
00:20:16THAT IS WHAT MAKES US
LIBERTARIAN.
00:20:19WE HAVE HAD PEOPLE FROM ALL
ACROSS SECTIONS OF WORKING
00:20:22AMERICA INVOLVED AND THERE ARE
SOME THAT TAKE A CONSERVATIVE, A
00:20:27VERY, VERY CONSERVATIVE SOCIAL
STANCE AND DID NOT PERSONALLY
00:20:31LIKE THAT BUT THEY DRAW THE
LINE.
00:20:32THEY SAID IT IS NOT MY BUSINESS.
IT IS NOT THE GOVERNMENTS
00:20:36BUSINESS.
IT IS UP TO THAT INDIVIDUAL TO
00:20:39CHOOSE SO THAT MAKES THEM A
LIBERTARIAN.
00:20:43I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT.
WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT
00:20:44OPINIONS IN THIS PARTY BUT THE
BOTTOM LINE IS WE AGREE IT
00:20:46SHOULD NOT BE THE GOVERNMENT
DICTATING HOW A PERSON LIVES
00:20:49THEIR PERSONAL LIFE AND THAT IS
WHY I AM IN THE LIBERTARIAN
00:20:54HARDY, A LOT OF CHOICES.
>> WHAT SEPARATES YOU FROM THE
00:20:57TEA PARTY?
>> IT IS KIND OF MIXED.
00:21:00I HAVE MET SOME OF THEM.
IT IS A DIVERSE GROUP ALSO.
00:21:05SOME ARE MORE SOCIAL
CONSERVATIVE ON ISSUES AND THAT
00:21:08IS THEIR FOCUS AND THAT IS FINE.
THERE ARE OTHERS WHO ARE MORE
00:21:10ABOUT PLAIN OLD FREEDOM AT ALL
LEVELS.
00:21:15NOT SAYING THEY ARE MODERATES
THAT A LOT OF IT OVERALL IS
00:21:20COMMON SENSE.
SOME ARE MORE SOCIALLY
00:21:23CONSERVATIVE AND THEY HAVE NOT
QUITE WRAPPED THEIR ARMS AROUND
00:21:27TOTAL FREEDOM.
TOTAL FREEDOM WITHIN REASON, OF
00:21:30COURSE.
SO IT IS DIVERSE EVEN WITH THE
00:21:34TEA PARTY GROUP.
SOME ARE WITH THIS, SOME ARE
00:21:36KIND OF ON THE SIDE SAYING I AM
NOT SURE ABOUT A COUPLE ISSUES.
00:21:40FREEDOM IS THE BOTTOM LINE.
>> YOU TALKED ABOUT BALLOT
00:21:46ACCESS AND GETTING PEOPLE TO
VOTE BECAUSE YOU'RE RUNNING FOR
00:21:49SECRETARY OF STATE.
YOU DID NOT GET THE CHANCE TO
00:21:51DEBATE AS YOUR AUDITOR CANDIDATE
DID BECAUSE THERE WAS A DEBATE
00:21:56WITH ALL THREE CANDIDATES.
NOT IN YOUR CASE.
00:21:58>> NEXT WEEK.
>> ALL THREE.
00:22:02>> THE REPUBLICAN EDELMAN IS NOT
SHOWING UP.
00:22:06ANITA TURNER WILL BE DOWNTOWN
CLEVELAND AND WE WILL TALK
00:22:10ISSUES ABOUT SECRETARY OF
STATE'S RACE SO TWO OF THE THREE
00:22:17WILL BE THERE.
>> WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO
00:22:18KNOW ABOUT U.S. CANDIDATE?
--YOU AS CANDIDATE?
00:22:24>> I WANT TO HAVE A CULTURE OF
INCLUSIVENESS, NOT
00:22:31EXCLUSIVENESS.
IN THE VOTING PROCESS IN OHIO
00:22:33FROM THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS TO
THE PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THE
00:22:37SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE,
THEY HAVE TO BE FAIR AND
00:22:40BALANCED.
INCLUSIVE, NOT EXCLUSIVE.
00:22:42>> WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT?
>> I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
00:22:46THIS FOR A LOT LONGER.
I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS
00:22:51FOR 10 YEARS.
I HAVE THE BATTLE SCARS FIGHTING
00:22:52FOR BALLOT ACCESS WHICH IS
SUFFERED.
00:22:57ALLOWING PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR A
CANDIDATE THEY WANT.
00:22:58THAT IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO
TALK ABOUT NEXT WEEK.
00:23:00WE WILL TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE
INEQUITIES IN THE STATE IN VOTER
00:23:05LAWS AND MINOR PARTY ACCESS, THE
PARTICIPATIONS OF THE CITIZENS
00:23:11IN BOARD OF ELECTIONS BECAUSE IT
IS EXCLUSIVE, ONLY REPUBLICANS
00:23:16AND DEMOCRATS.
I AM CALLING THAT OUT.
00:23:18THAT IS NOT RIGHT.
WHERE IS THEIR VOICE?
00:23:21THAT IS WHAT I WILL TRY TO BRING
UP TO THE OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF
00:23:27STATE.
I WILL WORK HARD TO ENSURE THAT
00:23:28VOTERS ARE HEARD WHETHER IT BE
GROUPS OF COMMITTEES WE FORM IN
00:23:32THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE
SUCH AS THE VOTING RIGHTS
00:23:36INSTITUTE, I WAS ON THAT GROUP
IN 2009 IN 2010.
00:23:41IT IS INTERESTING THAT THE
SECRETARY OF STATE IN 2011
00:23:44CEASED THAT PROGRAM.
THESE ARE THINGS WE NEED TO DO.
00:23:46WE NEED TO BE MORE INCLUSIVE AND
P WILL -- BRING PEOPLE INTO THE
00:23:51PROCESS.
>> ONE OF YOUR LIBERTARIAN
00:23:54COLLEAGUES HAS ENDORSED THE
DEMOCRAT.
00:23:57DOESN'T ENDORSING A MAJOR PARTY
CANDIDATE, A DEMOCRAT NO LESS
00:24:02WHEN A LOT OF PEOPLE IDENTIFY
WITH THE FISCAL CONSERVATIVE
00:24:08IDEAS, DOESN'T ECHO WHAT --
AGAINST WHAT LIBERTARIANS ARE?
00:24:16>> I HAVE GROWN IN TWO -- INTO
THAT.
00:24:25THERE ARE SOCIAL ISSUES THAT
MIGHT LEAN US TOWARD THE
00:24:27DEMOCRATS IN THERE ARE ISSUES IN
THERE ARE ISSUES ON THE FISCAL
00:24:29SIDE THAT MAYBE MAKE US LEAN TO
WERE -- TOWARD WHAT THE
00:24:34REPUBLICANS AT LEAST TALK ABOUT.
WE ARE A DIVERSE GROUP.
00:24:37WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE.
SOCIALLY CONSCIOUSNESS AND
00:24:41FISCALLY WE NEED TO LIVE WITHIN
OUR MEANS.
00:24:43STEVE IS AN INDIVIDUAL WHO CAN
MAKE A PERSONAL DECISION.
00:24:47I WOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM.
I WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM IS IT --
00:24:50IF A LIBERTARIAN WERE RUNNING.
BECAUSE OF THE COURT ACTIONS.
00:24:57STEVE IS A GOOD FELLOW AND
SHOULD BE ABLE TO SPEAK HIS MIND
00:25:00AND ENDORSE WHO HE WANTS.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:25:02AND A NOTE -- WE WILL BE DOING
