Senate Hopeful Spreads Tea Party Message

GAINESVILLE – Alexander Snitker, Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate, addressed a larger-than-expected crowd at the Gainesville Tea Party meeting in Jonesville.   The small-government candidate spoke before a crowd of more than 200 liberty-minded attendees.  Organizers of the event were overwhelmed by the turnout.

Snitker spoke on the topics of smaller government, the Federal Reserve, foreign policy, and the Fair Tax.   Libertarian Party member Jote’ Thompson said that Snitker “shook the crowd,” which included a number of University of Florida students.

The political newcomer and former U.S. Marine bills himself as a regular guy.  That message seems to resonate well with those in the tea party movement, many of whom voiced dissatisfaction with career politicians from both major political parties.    “We need to return to the Founders’ concept of citizen legislators – ordinary Americans who serve their country and then return home to their own pursuits,” said Snitker.

Judging from the increasing crowd size at campaign stops, Snitker has been gaining momentum in recent weeks.  His media presence is growing rapidly as well, bolstered by appearances on talk radio and television, including Fox Business News.   “Americans are desperate for true grass-roots, liberty candidates,” said Nicole Chartrand, Snitker’s campaign manager.   “This is an all-volunteer campaign that holds to Constitutional ideals, and to the principles of the tea party movement.  People are responding to that.”

 

After the event, Snitker was surrounded by dozens of attendees eager to speak to the candidate one-on-one.   “I spoke to several people, including many Marco Rubio supporters, who said they were impressed with my pro-liberty positions,” said Snitker.

 

Snitker is scheduled to speak at the Freedom Rally hosted by the Gainesville Tea party Saturday, February 6th, 2010 at Noon at 1610 NW 65th Place in Gainesville.  Information on upcoming campaign events can be found at http://www.snitker2010.com
