Snitker for Senate 2010

FEB 11, 2010 – ORLANDO – U.S. Senate candidate Alexander Snitker is expecting a strong showing at the Orlando Tea Party Hob Nob and Straw Poll this Saturday at noon at Orlando City Hall. Snitker, a Libertarian who has been embraced by the tea party movement, will be one of many candidates for state and national contests to be on the ballot and in attendance.

Snitker, 34, is a former U.S. Marine and a newcomer to politics. “In this race, there are civil libertarians on one side and fiscal conservatives on the other. People find themselves in the position of selecting the lesser of two evils,” said Snitker of his political rivals in Florida’s U.S. Senate race. “Only the Libertarian Party brings the concept of individual liberty and constitutionally-limited government together in one platform.”

Candidates for Governor, Attorney General, U.S. Senate and House, as well as state and local offices are scheduled to attend. Organizers say the event will offer the chance for voters to talk to the candidates, and allow the candidates, media, and the public to measure the political pulse of the tea party movement. Though a large turnout is expected, only 1,000 ballots will be cast.

“The Tea Party Hob Nob was a natural next step for the movement,” said Tom Tillison, a tea party activist and event organizer. “We are encouraging people to be more informed political consumers and hopefully events like this one give the people a chance to really get to know the people who want their vote.”

Just days before the event, Snitker announced the launch of the “rEVOLution Money Bomb,” a major fund raising push in conjunction with other Liberty candidates through out the country. Snitker is asking supporters to make a $17.76 donation to the campaign by texting LIBERTY 17.76 to 27138 or by visiting his website, http://snitker2010.com.
