Dare I say it?
OUR TIME HAS COME.

The U.S. Eastern District ruling by Judge Gleeson in Green Party of NYS vs. NYS Board of Elections allows voters in NY to indicate that the Libertarian Party is their preferred party, even though it doesn't have "Party" status under the state's Election Law. UPDATE/November 17, 2004: The Second Circuit has affirmed Judge Gleeson's decision. The opinion can be found online in PDF at uscourts.gov. The appellate court found that the district court did not abuse its discretion in holding that the law indeed violated the First Amendment, which includes the right to join with like-minded individuals to accomplish a shared political objective.
