Libertarian supporters of Harry Browne seek an injunction, and a judge likes their case.

BOSTON, MA - Disenfranchised supporters of Libertarian candidate Harry Browne are going to court today to stop the presidential debates scheduled for tonight in Boston.

Harry Browne's supporters argue that because the Libertarian Party is one of three legally recognized parties in Massachusetts, state law prohibits the use of taxpayer money to fund a debate that excludes the Libertarian Party's candidate. The Boston debate is being funded in part by a $900,000 grant from the Massachusetts legislature.

Browne's supporters seek an injunction that would require either that Harry Browne be included in the debate with George Bush and Al Gore, or that the debate be halted.

The action will be filed in the Suffolk District Court this morning. The complaint was originally filed yesterday, with the presiding judge commenting that the only thing that kept him from granting the requested injunction was that he did not have jurisdiction. The Suffolk District court is the proper jurisdiction for this complaint.

Browne for President Press Secretary Jim Babka commented, "Since we have the law and justice on our side we expect to prevail."

Harry Browne will be in Massachusetts later today. He will host an Open House for media from 4-6:00 pm at the Marriott Copley Place, 110 Huntington Ave., Boston, MA. He will do media interviews, watch the debates, and record his answers to the debate questions which will appear in streaming video on FreedomChannel.com early Wednesday.
