Phillies Gains New Hampshire Running Mate
August 6, 2008
Libertarian Party of New Hampshire Presidential candidate George
Phillies today gained a running mate. Chris Bennett of Springfield,
Illinois completes the Libertarian Party ticket. "I am delighted to
have Bennett on board," Phillies said. "He is a wonderful campaigner.
His fine Libertarian positions speak for themselves."
Bennett, speaking on his positions, said "I am strongly against the
invasion and the 'police action' in Iraq. I am against a Fair Tax and
I will continue to fight to decrease the tax burden for all Americans.
I will continue to fight to restore our civil liberties and
constitutional rights and fight to eliminate the Patriot Act, the Real
ID Act, and the Military Commissions Act. As an African-American, I
will use my candidacy to recruit more minorities and women into the
libertarian movement. As a recent college graduate, I will continue to
convince younger voters and non-voters that the Libertarian Party is
the future."
Bennett has been a Libertarian Party volunteer since 1991. In 2004 he
was active in the Libertarian Presidential campaigns of Aaron Russo and
Michael Badnarik. He is currently the campaign manager for Larry
Stafford, the Libertarian candidate for US Senate in Illinois, and is
the Libertarian Party of Illinois Legislative Chair. He serves as a
campaign adviser for the Boston Tea Party's Jay/Knapp Presidential
Ticket.
Christopher Dean Bennett, 35 was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1972.
He now lives in Springfield, Illinois with his wife Evonne and children
Charity, 9, and Brandon, 7. Bennett was graduated from the University
of Illinois at Springfield on May 10th, 2008, with a political studies
degree with a minor in economics. He had previously attended Heritage
High School in Littleton, Colorado, class of 1990.
