The Candidate

Let me introduce myself with the following information:

NYS Libertarian Party – NYS Attorney General - Outline for Candidate Carl E. Person

Background: High school dropout (Northport HS, Suffolk County); served 3 years in the Army as a high speed radio operator; graduate of LIU and then Harvard Law School. Worked for several Wall Street law firms, then became an individual practitioner. I created the paralegal field starting in 1972, the fastest growing career field for 15 straight years.

Legal Experience: 40+ years experience in federal and state litigation relating to fraud, misrepresentation, business, securities, trade regulation, intellectual property (trademarks and copyrights) and civil rights. In two highly publicized cases, I took away the MONOPOLY game trademark from Parker Brothers/Hasbro, and recovered (for two group members) the copyright to the hit song WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE – Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers.

My Pro Se Lawsuits May Define Me Better than My Words:

(1) To stop all subsidies given by NYC to sports, financial, and media corporations – as a violation of NYS Constitution;

(2) To legalize all gambling in NYS and have gambling be subject only to laws prohibiting fraud;

(3) To permit 50,000 votes for AG or Controller to qualify the Green Party and other “parties” (such as LP) for “party” status under NY Election Law and obtain primary right for GP and LP candidates receiving at least 25% of convention vote;

(4) To declare unconstitutional the NYS statutory prohibition against paying petitioners on a per-signature basis;

(5) To declare that lawyers have the right to advertise their services (the first such law suit in the U.S.); and

(6) To declare unconstitutional the professional disciplinary rule which prohibits lawyers from assisting clients in selling shares in their lawsuits (to raise the money needed to defend their property interests) and to declare that clients have a right to sell shares in their lawsuits.

As Attorney General, my lawsuits will be more effective than when brought by a citizen/voter/taxpayer.

Ballot Access: Use offices of AG to strengthen ballot access for non-party parties such as the Libertarian Party and for independent candidates for public office.

Economic Reform Available on a Self-Help Basis: Self Employment for Unemployed and Underemployed – I have created an internet, keyword based Task Marketplace to help create prosperity for residents of NYS towns and villages by offering the unemployed and underemployed an opportunity to offer and sell their goods and services as small businesses while waiting (with ever-diminishing expectations) for large corporations and government to provide jobs to them as they did in the past. The country needs more small businesses generating self employment and employment and this seems to me to be the best if not obvious solution. – see my "myclads" website, which requires local, low-cost advertising to market. http://www.myclads.com/.

Issues to Attract Voters:

Decriminalize victimless crimes - Reduce government bureaucracy - Reduce government spending

Stop use of the AG’s office to sue legitimate businesses -

Right of people to associate freely

Right of voters to register in the party of their choice- Stop the destruction of party registration databases

Creation of Millions of New Jobs in US by My 1st 3 ARE FREE Proposal: A simple legislative enactment would put millions of Americans to work. Congress needs to pass a statute permitting every employer to designate up to 3 employees as “independent contractors” as to whom there would be no withholding or other regulatory compliance by the employer. This would enable small businesses and households to hire up to 3 employees without having to have workmen’s compensation insurance, disability insurance, payroll withholding, trust fund compliance and audits by tax agencies and insurance companies. These barriers have been effective to prevent 10 million small businesses from hiring millions of employees, resulting in the inability of small business to grow and create needed jobs.
