Candidates wishing to be considered for endorsement by Empire State Libertarians in 2010 must be in full agreement with the following Candidate Endorsement Statement and must agree to place the fact of their endorsement by Empire State Libertarians and the Candidate Endorsement Statement on their website.

"If elected, I will take action to bring about smaller, more efficient, government as well as fewer and lower taxes. I intend to work to stimulate the economy and to create jobs by reducing corporate taxation and bureaucratic regulation. I do not believe it is the government's role to bring about social change. to redistribute wealth, or to pass laws criminalizing conduct that causes no direct harm to others. I will do what I can to bolster the value of our currency, to reduce the national debt, to better defend our borders, to keep our military strong, and to protect those individual rights guaranteed to all Americans in the United States Constitution."
