The Libertarian Party of Michigan will hold its 2000
nominating convention in Ann Arbor on the weekend of May 19
- 21 at the Best Western Executive Plaza. All events and
business sessions are open to the general public.
The convention opens Friday night, May 19, with a
welcome party and trivia contest sponsored by the convention
host Libertarian Party of Washtenaw County. Saturday will
feature business sessions and nationally renowned guest
speakers. New this year will be introductory classes
outlining the philosophy and positions of the Libertarian
Party on such issues as gun control, affirmative action,
education reform, and environmental protection. These
hour-long classes, which begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, are
free and do not require advance registration.
The major business of the convention will be the
nomination of candidates for the November 7, 2000 general
election. The Libertarian Party, a minor party according to
Michigan election law, selects its candidates at a party
caucus such as this convention. Party officials plan that by
noon on Saturday, May 20, over 100 candidates will be
selected for public offices ranging from Township Supervisor
to U.S. Senator.
On Saturday afternoon, the convention will also choose
72 delegates to attend the national Libertarian Party
presidential nominating convention to be held June 29 - July
3 in Anaheim, California. Of the fifty states, Michigan will
send the third-largest delegation to Anaheim, where the LP's
candidate for President of the United States will be chosen.
All three presidential front runners will attend the event
in Ann Arbor to solicit support for their campaigns --
including the Libertarian Party's 1996 nominee, Harry
Browne. A presidential candidate debate, moderated by
Comerica Bank Chief Economist, David Littmann, is scheduled
for the Saturday evening banquet.
A special Sunday brunch will feature Hillsdale College
professor, Richard Ebeling, who will speak about
private-sector solutions to social problems.
