A 30 second TV commercial created, produced and directed by Tim O'Brien had its debut at the 1998 National LP Convention. This project was funded by the LP of Michigan to appeal to smokers. It is hard hitting, and fun. By popular demand, the viewing was repeated 3 times during the convention, and was partially caught by C-Span. Congratulations to Tim, and all the LP of Michigan members who participated. Thanks to all the contributors to our "Prospects for the Future" drive for providing the funding. The project was approved at the June LEC meeting, and in a week, Tim pulled together the film crew, the Michigan members shown on camera, and the editing, so the commercial could be shown in Washington. Phase II, showing it on cable stations in Michigan will begin in October.

Don't you think that it's time to do more than talk about politics? Isn't it time we started putting Libertarians in office? HERE'S HOW... The Libertarian Party of Delaware, in conjunction with Kamioner & Associates, invites you to attend WAR AND THE ART OF POLITICS(tm), a strategic military exercise combined with a real-time interactive campaign simulation that will introduce you to the kind of real-world, high-pressure politics you won't learn about in a dull lecture. This is the REAL THING. WAR AND THE ART OF POLITICS(tm) will be conducted from 9:00 a.m. September 12, 1998 to 12:00 noon on September 13, 1998 at the Sheraton Suites Hotel in Wilmington, Delaware. The registration fee is $60.00 if paid by September 1, 1998 and $85.00 thereafter. A block of rooms has been reserved at the Sheraton Suites Hotel at a special rate ($105.00 per night single or double occupancy). WAR AND THE ART OF POLITICS(tm) is a creation and trademark of David T. Kamioner. Mr. Kamioner is President of Kamioner & Associates, a political consulting firm based in Reading, Pennsylvania. Mr. Kamioner is the Political Director of the Libertarian Party of Delaware and is a veteran of over 70 campaigns on the national, state, and local levels. WHAT LIBERTARIAN LEADERS ARE SAYING ABOUT WAR AND THE ART OF POLITICS(tm) "Kamioner runs a fast-paced, high-energy (some might say manic) campaign simulation. Warning! This is for people who play to win!" -- Janice Presser, Ph.D., State Chair, Libertarian Party of New Jersey and Libertarian candidate for U.S. House of Representatives "The seminar hits you like a tsunami! From the moment you begin, you're literally launched into the trenches of diplomacy, persuasion, finance and tactical maneuvers. Learning by doing is the way to go! You can read books and listen to lectures until Doomsday-- and never come near what you can learn from this seminar." -- Nancy Millionie, Chair, Libertarian Party of Baltimore County, Maryland "The pressure to get things done, to wing it, was intense. We didn't have time to sit around in endless committee meetings debating ... Not only was it fun but I learned more in 12 hours than in years of trial and error." -- Jim Larsen, Libertarian candidate for Delaware House of Representatives
