Atlantic City Boardwalk to serve as first statewide office 

Trenton, NJ – The New Jersey Libertarian Party signed a lease this past week securing space right on the Atlantic City Boardwalk to serve as its campaign headquarters. It is the first of many offices anticipated to open around the state, to help coordinate campaign activities in what is anticipated to be a very active and aggressive campaign season according to Lou Jasikoff, Chairman of the New Jersey Libertarian Party.

The NJLP Summer Picnic and General Membership Meeting has been set for Saturday July 19th starting at 1:00 PM at the Flynn’s home in Morganville (Marlboro Township). The general membership meeting is scheduled to begin at 1:30 PM and the picnic will follow.

This will be your first chance to hear about the exciting developments in the Jason Scheurer for Senate campaign plus the Bob Barr/Wayne Allyn Root national effort from our very busy State Chair Lou Jasikoff. A key activity at the picnic will be collecting and processing petitions for Barr/Root from NJLP petitioners with appropriate recognition and awards for all contributors.

Please bring: Your own meat plus one dish to share. Gas grill and tubs of ice with cold soft drinks will be provided along with snacks and picnic utensils. Extra lawn chairs would help.
