- 18-year-old Libertarian in media
James Lopez, The Ottawa County Libertarian Party's
youngest candidate, has experienced a warm welcome from the
media. An energetic 18-year-old with ideals and principles
makes a great story in the dull, Republican dominated West
Michigan area.
WOOD radio recorded a segment on him and added it the
news given to all Clear Channel stations (several in the
area). The radio stations have picked up the story, but so
has the print media. The Grand Rapids Press ran a nice
story (view it online at
http://gr.mlive.com/news/index.ssf?/news/stories/20000530glibrun30104305.frm
), and the local alternative news-weekly should have an
article out this Thursday.
The Lopez campaign is now mobolizing dozens of
volunteers in Ottawa County to canvass the area and get the
word out. Unlike most candidates, the media has
demonstrated that it will cover the Lopez campaign (it has
received more coverage to date than the major party
candidates in the race!), but Libertarians must get behind
this campaign.

- Libertarian Presidential Hopefuls to "Slash the Pork"
by Press Release
5/30/00
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

313-268-5425
DEARBORN. On Sunday, June 11, the three leading
contenders for the Libertarian Party nomination for
President of the United States will be taking the
opportunity to slash the pork -- literally.
The Libertarian Party of Michigan is sponsoring a
special Pig Roast fund raising event in Southfield to
benefit the party's Campaign Fund.
"Most voters don't realize that our very existence as a
ballot-qualified party depends entirely on how well our
'top-of-ticket' candidate does," observed event hostess and
Ballot Access Retention Committee chair, Barb Goushaw .
"This year that will, of course, be our presidential
candidate. And since we won't even know who that will be
until after the national nominating convention in July, let
alone what his or her campaign strategy or funding will be,"
she continued, "we are raising our own campaign money right
here in Michigan to buy advertising to support our candidate
in this 'ballot-status' race."
Harry Browne , the LP's '96 nominee for president and
the leading contender to be the party's first ever, second
time candidate, has already committed to attend, as have
longer shot contenders former New Hampshire state rep, Don
Gorman, and Arizona entrepreneur, Barry Hess. Each of the
three in turn will take machete in hand and have a whack at
the giant, roast pig.
Tickets to Slash the Pork are $40 for the afternoon
event and include all food, drink and games, as well as
other uniquely Libertarian entertainment.
Complimentary press passes are available with advance
request.

- LP of Oakland County Meeting Modification
by Greg Dirasian
Due to the busy June schedule (Slash the Pork on June
11 and national convention beginning on June 29), the
Libertarian Party of Oakland County will be combining the
general membership meeting with the executive committee
meeting and we will meet only once this month on June 21.
We will still meet at Sila's in Berkley.
Barb Goushaw will be our featured speaker this month.
She will be giving the same speech that she will give as the
keynote address at the national convention in Anaheim later
this month. If you can't make it to the national
convention, this will be your opportunity to enjoy some of
it right here.
