October, stay tuned! Clare-Gladwin LP is selling a limited
supply of party building yard signs with wires that say
"Keep Your Guns, Lower Your Taxes, Vote Libertarian."

- Pizza Guy Joins Party
by Greg Dirasian
Saturday, September 9, 2000, saw 22 Libertarian candidates
gathered at LPM headquarters in Hazel Park, attending a day
long candidate workshop. This is the third candidate
workshop sponsored by the LPM this year, all of which have
been organized and run by the LP's best campaign manager,
Barbara Goushaw.
Barbara delivered the first workshop in February by
herself (it was videotaped as part of the Success 99
series). Barbara, assisted by Michael Cloud, delivered the
second workshop in May at the LPM state convention.
This workshop featured guest instructor Don Gorman,
former New Hampshire state legislator and former
presidential candidate. Don added variety and a new aspect
to the workshop - grilling all the candidates and forcing
them to think on their feet.
Perhaps one of the most interesting events happened
when we broke for lunch and the pizza guy delivered our
pizzas. When he realized he was in the Libertarian Party
headquarters, he said that he has been voting Libertarian
for a long time. We signed him up as a new member on the
spot (he used his tip to pay his state dues, and candidate
Constance Catalfio paid his local dues).
Barbara Goushaw and Bruce Hoepner put the finishing
touches on the day by hosting dinner at their home, where we
all had a chance to discuss what we learned and spend more
time questioning and learning from the pros in a less formal
setting.
Many thanks to the folks who put this event together
and made it an informative and fun time.

- Oakland County Executive Being Watched
by Greg Dirasian
Libertarian candidate for Oakland County Executive,
Paul Champion, who received a vulgar letter from the current
Oakland County Executive, L. Brooks Patterson last year,
announces his campaign website:
---> http://www.BrooksWatch.com
This campaign website is as much about keeping an eye
on the unscrupulous L. Brooks Patterson, as it is about
promoting Paul Champion's candidacy. One of the more
entertaining features of the site is the "Don't be fooled"
animated image. Please visit the site and let us know what
you think, then check back frequently as new features will
be added to the web site regularly.
