The number of voters registering in a major party continues to decline in North Carolina, even as the total number of registered voters in continues to rise. 

The number of registered Libertarians, 22,173, while still proportionally small, is an historic high for the party.

It doesn't matter who’s running things in Raleigh, Republicans or Democrats. State spending will still increase.

The overwhelming majorities of  Democrats and Republicans who passed one more government debt and spending hike proves that they are incurable and can never be convinced to do the right thing, Libertarian Party political director Carla Howell said in a statement today.

Nullification is not about state's rights or slavery, but about the fundamental principles of the American republic, said J.J. Summerell, chair of the Libertarian Party of North Carolina. The Libertarian Party is one of the sponsors of the Nullify Now conference scheduled for the Raleigh Convention Center Oct. 19.
