Libertarian candidate Alex Snitker resigns day job to focus on campaign

Libertarian Party blog:

Snitker familyLibertarian Alex Snitker is running for U.S. Senate in Florida. His campaign sent the following in an August 18 press release:

…The underdog candidate admits that he’s taking a major financial risk by sacrificing his paycheck to put all his efforts into his Senate bid. Unlike his rivals, who have much of their personal expenses paid for by their respective state parties, Snitker has cashed in his 401(K) in order to cover his personal bills in the coming months.

snitker logo“I’m putting everything I have on the line for this,” said Snitker. “The risk is worth it. I feel it is my duty to help ensure that my son, and all of our children, grow up in a free and prosperous America. It’s nothing compared to what our Founders risked to ensure liberty.”

    Look into the fact that he and hiscronies are plundering the LP Florida treasury which was supposed to go for medical marihuana and a tax abolition initiative. Meanwhile his goons have set upp many phony affiliates telling people to vote GOP like their stooge Rhodes IMHO. Snitker’s people attack Libertarians as lazy losers but sure love Libertarian dough.

    Future losing races.
    Maybe he realizes this & thinks one all out effort will win.
    WRONG!

    While it is great for any candidate to campaign as hard as possible for a seat, has he not looked at the polling? It seems it would be far better to keep your job and campaign as much as possible, knowing a loss still helps build your name id for future races.

    Charlie Crist, whom the Catholic Trotskyist Party endorses in this case, in a rare support for independent candidacies, is the one who should really endorse PLAS.
    I am still raising funds to go to Florida and meet Charlie Crist to try to convince him to endorse PLAS.
    Snitkor is just an average Third Party loser.

    Don’t come to me after the election.

    Uh-oh. Quit his day job.
    This is worse than Gary Nolan mortgaging his house.
    Too bad he will not try PLAS. He just might could win. & get a paycheck again!
    What is Plan B, Alex? You’re going to need it.

    Well, it takes guts to quit a job in this economy but since his income may well have been dependent on commissions anyway this might be less shocking than one might think. Still, it shows he plans to campaign full time and I wish him well.
