- Hollemans campaign surges forward
by Jason C. Miller
In a 4th of July Surprise (at least to those in the
local government), the Hollemans for Trustee Campaign wowed
those in attendence at Plainfield Township's parade. The
Hollemans campaign, a team of 12 dedicated volunteers
distributed over 400 pieces of literature and candy to the
onlookers. The crowd seemed extremely receptive, even if
the Township clerk attempted to explain to Derek that he
wasn't on the ballot. After assuring her he was a
Libertarian, and would be on the ballot in November, the
Hollemans team shook hands and distributed literature, much
to the disgust of the 6 Republicans running in the August
primary, who had expected to cruise to an unopposed victory
in November for the four open seats.
Since the parade, Derek has been busy making contact
with media personalities, distinguished members of the
township, and other general publicity efforts, including
yard signs and literature.
Although the Republican Primary has yet to occur, The
Hollemans For Trustee campaign is kicking into high gear,
and will not stop until November. Derek Hollemans will face
the four Republican Nominees for four available Trustee
seats in November.

by Steve Saletta
The LP of Washtenaw County is looking for people to
volunteer to work our booth next Wed-Sun (July 19-23) at the
Ann Arbor Art Fair. You know your wives are going to drag
you to this thing anyway, so you might as well stand in the
shade and talk politics instead of wandering around all day
looking at $200 pieces of postmodern lawn art.
And for the ladies....medium sized capitalist swine
shirts will be available!
Because the LPWC is on the bleeding edge of modern
technology, you can sign up online at
http://www.arrenkyle.com/lpwc/aa2000/booth.cgi
Nick Contaxes, art fair despot, can be reached at
