ARLINGTON, VA —— With the election for Congress less than a year from now, LibertySlate 2010 has been launched to rank and solicit support for select Liberty Republican candidates for Congress in 2010.

Aaron Biterman, who serves as the Outreach Committee Chair for a caucus of libertarian Republicans called the Republican Liberty Caucus, has announced the site –– located at http://www.LibertySlate.com. The Liberty Slate will list and rank, encourage support for, and host online events to promote a slate of Liberty Republican candidates running for Congress in 2010. Currently 23 Republican candidates for Congress are included in the slate, including Senate candidates Dr. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Chuck Devore of California, and Peter Schiff of Connecticut.

“Our country is at a crossroads, and it is clear that politicians are spending far beyond our means. The current members of Congress have decided not to make tough choices, but instead believe that government can be everything to everyone,” said Mr. Biterman. “The candidates endorsed by LibertySlate 2010 – only three of whom are incumbents – will provide a new voice of leadership and a new vision to restore prosperity.”

LibertySlate not only provides a listing of candidates, but also ranks candidates based on political issues, candidate websites, and likeliness for victory. The rankings will change throughout the campaign season. The highest ranked candidate is currently U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Rand Paul, who is running against Democrat-turned-Republican Secretary of State Trey Grayson in a high-profile Republican Primary for the open Kentucky Senate seat.

“LibertySlate’s endorsed candidates have solutions to the political issues that face our country. The challenge now is to increase their name recognition and to generate support for them among voters,” concluded Mr. Biterman. “Our endorsed candidates are running on platforms of Freedom, Peace, and Prosperity.”

LibertySlate is encouraging Tea Party activists, constitutionalists, libertarians, and others concerned about the direction our country is headed to log on to LibertySlate 2010 and take an active role on the campaigns of the selected candidates.”
