Marietta, GA � Dale Ritchey, the 6th District Representative for the Libertarian Party of Georgia, will announce his candidacy for the 34th District State Representative seat at a campaign rally on Friday, February 4. The rally will be held at the East Cobb Government Center, 4400 Lower Roswell Road in Marietta, at 7 P.M. Everyone is welcome to attend.
�I felt like it was time to stand up for what I believe in�, stated Mr. Ritchey, when asked why he wants to run for public office. �I can no longer stand by and do nothing while our taxes continue to rise and our individual liberties are taken away.�
�There seems to be little difference between Democrats and Republicans today � both parties want bigger government in one form or another�, replied Ritchey. �The average American is paying the highest tax rates in our history. Neither party is truly interested in a constitutionally limited government that guarantees freedoms to peaceful citizens. That�s why I think my message of limited government will resonate with voters.�
�It will be an uphill battle just to get on the ballot, due to restrictive ballot access laws here in Georgia�, replied Mr. Ritchey. �If elected, I will promote and support all measures that will keep government out of our wallets and out of our personal lives � no excuses, no exceptions.�
Mr. Ritchey is the owner of a small business, NDR Construction, established in 1995. He and his wife Yvonne have a daughter, Dessie Mae.
