Short Interview with Presidential Candidate Darryl Perry

As part of Wikinews’ monthly series on the 2016 presidential election, I briefly interviewed write-in presidential candidate Darryl Perry.

On September 29, writer and former 2016 Libertarian Party (LP) presidential candidate Darryl Perry, the newly-elected chair of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire (LPNH), announced the creation of a write-in campaign for president across several states. In a press release, he stated three goals for his run: “(1) to run the most libertarian presidential campaign in history; (2) to proclaim the ideas of liberty as boldly and as often as possible; and (3) to give as many people as possible the opportunity to vote for an actual libertarian in November.” Wikinews reached out to Perry to discuss the campaign.

2016 Presidential Candidate Locked Out from Residence

Progressive activist Robert Milnes, a declared candidate for the Libertarian Party’s 2016 presidential nomination was locked out from his New Jersey residence a week ago, due to rent delinquency. Milnes subsequently took refuge in his sister’s basement, but was removed from there as well. It is unclear where he is now staying.

Milnes, 61,  has run for president in every election since 2004, lobbying third parties to nominate a Libertarian and Progressive fusion ticket, an initiative he refers to as PLAS (Progressive Libertarian Alliance Strategy). He suffers from depression and poverty, and served prison time in the 1980’s after pleading guilty to harassing a Philadelphia news reporter.
