Jim Burns has been added to the list of 2012 Libertarian Presidential Candidates at LP.org, the first new name to be added back to the site under the current rules:
Seeking the nomination of the Libertarian Party exclusively
Dues-paying member of the National Libertarian Party
Campaign website is current with contact information
Obtained the approval of at least five members of the 18-member Libertarian National Committee.
A previous rule, requiring candidates to file with the FEC, prevented Burns from being listed, since he does not plan to raise or spend enough money to file with the FEC.
The other candidates listed remain Roger Gary, RJ Harris, Gary Johnson, Carl Person, Bill Still and Lee Wrights.
