Libertarian Loretta Nall, Two Weeks To Go

Alabama Libertarian Loretta Nall is eyeing the final stretch of her gubernatorial campaign and has posted her speaking engagements on her website at www.nallforgovernor.com.

The Alabama native will conduct a multi-city campaign blitz in the waning days of the race toward the Governor's mansion. Recent polls show that she trails Governor Bob Riley and Lt. Governor Lucy Baxley (who is now running for Governor). However, there has been a growing air of discontent among the ranks of some Riley supports who have been stung by his refusal to resign from a racist Grand Lodge of Freemasonry. The story made national news in the past week.

In addition, Nall could well benefit from a silent but growing discontent among Alabama voters toward candidates of BOTH parties. Riley, the Republican, raised the ire of conservative voters by attempting to raise taxes by a billion dollars in 2003, a move which the Governor supported with bogus claims that the state was going broke. Lucy Baxley, the Democrat, is a typical liberal who marches in lockstep with the national Party, but has portrayed herself as a thrifty conservative who would roll back property taxes.

Nall is the only candidate of the three who brings to the table an honest approach to government, supporting low taxes and free commerce, a smaller more accountable government, a state lottery for education that would not be managed by state government but by private enterprise, the development of bio-diesel fuel that could result in a boon for farmers in the state's impoverished 'black belt,' an unabashed advocacy for 2nd Amendment rights and a repeal of all gun control laws, and support for tax incentives for parents to send their children to private schools or to homeschool their young.

Nall's fledgling campaign, of course, is lacking the 'big bucks' that the two major Parties have, which are filled by and large by powerful special interest groups and individuals. Thus, her shoestring campaign has relied heavily on smaller individual donations, particularly at those times she will be traveling across the state. Now is such a time, as she encourages supporters to make their donations now so that she can appear at her various engagements across Alabama.
