  2. Tuniewicz named Community Leader on America Online by Mark Tuniewicz

    Dear Friends:

    Just a quick note to let you know that I was recently named a Comunity Leader on America Online, and to ask for the assistance of LP members who use AOL.

    My specific area of responsibility is in the new web-based "Hometown AOL" area. Hometown AOL (www.hometown.aol.com) hopes to compete with similar web- based communities such as Geocities.

    My role is as Community Host in the Politics and Philosophies area. Community Hosts are the highest-profile volunteers on AOL, and are involved in crafting what you experience in the area. If you click the link below, you'll see my first effort on the web has a definite libertaian twist to it, though I have a responsibility to showcase all views.

    Any AOL member can post a page to Hometown AOL, and I'd appreciate your passing this email on to your state's LP email list.

    PLEASE: ANY LP MEMBER ON AOL--create a web site on AOL, and ADD that page to the Libertarian area in Hometown AOL. It's important that we build up as large a prescence as possible. Use it to tell the online community about your opinions....your candidacy.....or why you are a Libertarian!

    For now, the service does not allow non-AOL pages to be added, but I expect this to change in the future and will put the word out at that time.

    As you'll see by clicking on the link below, The first two "featured sites" have clear libertarian themes--keep in mind I can only "feature" those sites which are "added" or registered by AOL members. The more LP-related sites there are, the easier it will be for me to feature pages which support our cause! We've already got several LP candidate pages up, for example.

    And yes, in a few weeks you'll see a photo of yours truly on the site, identifying me as a Community Host. Let's hope it doesn't scare off too many folks!

    Remember, millions use AOL every day. We need the exposure. Thanks for your support!

  3. Get your Libertarian "Capitalist Swine" T-shirts! by S.J. Saletta

    21 Jan 99

    The MSU Libertarians would like to announce the existence of a powerful new party-building tool! Yes, the much awaited "Capitalist Swine" T-shirt will soon be available to you, the defenders of liberty, within a matter of days.

    This stylish, black cotton T-shirt will have the words "Capitalist Swine" boldly emblazoned in white on the front, and the Statue of Liberty proudly illuminating the back along with the caption, "The Libertarian Party, The Party of Principle" (also in white)

    Only available in extra large, Long-sleeved "Capitalist Swine" T-shirts are available for $15.00, and short-sleeved shirts are a mere $12! (Please add $3.00 for shipping and handling. Michigan residents, please add 6% state sales extortion.) Not only are these shirts a great conversation starter, but they have tremendous opportunity as an affiliate promotion tool and fund-raiser. Shirts are also available in both sizes with a blank back (no Libby!)

    We are looking to order our shirts by the end of the week, and have them ready to ship by the end of next week, so please reserve your shirt today! Michigan affiliates, please let us know if you are buying them for resale or "internal use" so we don't have to charge sales tax.

    Thanks for your support!
