Mike Ferguson, a Missouri Libertarian who regularly has posted interviews with various state political figures on his Web site, is reminding people that the state Libertarian Party:

A) Still has automatic ballot access, and will have a presidential ballot on Feb. 5.

B) Is concerned about a bill that could hurt third party’s chances of remaining on the ballot.

Ferguson is publicizing his latest interview, with Libertarian leader Glenn Neilsen of Columbia.The interview, says Ferguson, “discusses the upcoming elections, some of today’s top issues and the ‘Ron Paul Revolution’ that is affecting the Libertarian Party along with the Republican Party.

Neilson also discusses a new bill, HB 1401 (filed by Republican Bill Deeken) that Ferguson says “would restrict the petitioning process, saying it would have a “stifling effect” on third parties trying to get on the ballot and on citizen initiative efforts in the state.”
