SAN ANTONIO Using the Alamo as their backdrop, Libertarian party candidates running for statewide office pledged to open Texas' borders and legalize marijuana at a news conference Thursday.
I believe in the sovereign power of the individual, said Robert Butler, the party's candidate for lieutenant governor.
He then quoted Alamo fighter Davy Crocket, saying, I am no man's man. I bark at no man's bid. I will never come and go, and fetch and carry, at the whistle of the great man in the white house, no matter who he is.
Jamie Balagia, a local attorney who also practices in his hometown of Austin, is the party's candidate for Attorney General.
He said if elected, he would enforce the state's laws but make his political views well-known, including his thoughts on legalizing marijuana.
Looking at children visiting the historical mission behind him, Balagia said, I wonder how many of them will end up in handcuffs?

A libertarian group operating within the Idaho Republican Party is making its first endorsements in a slate led by Sen. Russ Fulcher in his challenge to two-term GOP Gov. Butch Otter.
The Republican Liberty Caucus of Idaho also backs challengers to three other statewide incumbents: Idaho County Commissioner Jim Chmelik over Lt. Gov. Brad Little; Boise lawyer C.T. Chris Troupis over Attorney General Lawrence Wasden; and Boise businessman Todd Hatfield over Controller Brandon Woolf.
In races for open statewide seats, the group endorses Rep. Lawerence Denney for secretary of state over Evan Frasure, Phil McGrane and Mitch Toryanski; and for John Eynon for superintendent of public instruction over Andy Grover, Randy Jensen and Sherri Ybarra.
The group was chartered as an arm of a national group, the Republican Liberty Caucus, founded in 1991 at the urging of Roger MacBride, a 1976 Libertarian Party presidential candidate.
To gain the endorsements, candidates were required to sign The Liberty Compact, which reads:
I pledge to the citizens of this state, and to the American people, that as their elected representative I will work to restore liberty, not restrict it; shrink government, not expand it; reduce taxes, not raise them; abolish programs, not create them; promote the freedom and independence of citizens, not the interference of government in their lives; and observe the limited, enumerated powers of our Constitution, not ignore them.
Founded in 2012 at the Idaho Republican Party convention, the Liberty Caucus also made what it calls a first round 31 of endorsements for the Legislature.
Among the notable legislative endorsements: Scott Smiths bid to unseat Senate President Pro Tem Brent Hill of Rexburg; Danielle Ahrens over nine-term Sen. Shawn Keough in Sandpoint; Toby Schindelbeck over Rep. Luke Malek in Coeur dAlene; Lee Rice over Sen. Todd Lakey in Nampa; Robert Muse over Rep. Rick Youngblood in Nampa; Diego Rodriguez over Sen. Fred Martin in Boise; Charles Pratt Porter over Lori DenHertog and Rich Jarvis for Fulchers open Senate seat in southwest Ada County; Lance Earl over Rep. Kelley Packer in Bannock and Power counties; and Ron Nate over Rep. Doug Hancey in Madison County.
RLC state charters are organized specifically to bring voters back into the Republican Party at the state level that left due to apathy, antagonistic behaviors of of GOP county central committees or poor candidate choices, said RLC Idaho Secretary Jason Robinson.
Robinson said the Idaho chapter is the largest state organization in the country, but he said both state and national membership numbers are confidential and not something I can release.
