2. “Liberty Matches” Are Back! by Stacy Van Oast

   Remember the wildly successful book matches promoting the Libertarian Party’s “hands-off” position regarding tobacco? Well, due to popular demand... they’re back! And, once again, **we need your help distributing them!!**

   The project, which consisted of leaving boxes of 50 books of matches at smoke shops, bowling alleys, and bingo halls, was a huge success. The affiliates and volunteers did a terrific job of distributing the matches, and the store-owners (and apparently their customers!) LOVED them!

   These matches are available FREE OF CHARGE and are being distributed through LPM affiliates and contacts. All you have to do is pick them up and get them out!

   Matches will be shipped to the following “distribution centers” and should arrive sometime before Christmas. Affiliate chairs should order their supply of matches and make all arrangements to pick matches up from the nearest distribution center. Individuals should then contact the Libertarian affiliate nearest them to pick up a supply of matches and have fun!

   10 cases Tim O’Brien; TObrien321@aol.com or (313)562-5778; Allen Park -- Wayne, Macomb, Livingston, Oakland, Washtenaw, S. Central

   6 cases Dick Whitelock; (616)527-9263 or 527-4222; Ionia -- Ionia, Shiawassee, Mid-Mich, Tri-Cities, Lapeer/Genessee

   1 case Jim Anderson; User999186@aol.com or (616)334-3037; Traverse City -- Traverse City, Alpena, Muskegon

   1 case Bob Black; (906)875-3913; Crystal Falls -- Upper Peninsula

   2 cases Bill Gelineau; gelineau@iserv.net or (616)249-9735; Grand Rapids -- West Michigan, Muskegon, Van Buren, Berrien, Kalamazoo

   These are only suggested distributions -- pick the matches up from wherever it’s most convenient for *you*. It is your responsibility, however, to make all necessary arrangements to get the matches for your affiliate and then out to your members.

   Thank you everyone for making this project such a success last time! Have fun!
