- One Week to Election Day - ElecTruc Coming!
by Greg Dirasian
Just one week until Election Day. The Ballot Access
Retention Committee (BARC 2000) has hired the ElecTruc for
the last day of campaigning (Monday, November 6). For a
sample of what the ElecTruc looks like, visit:
http://www.best-president.com/truck.html
(this is a large file - 174K and may take
a while to download).
BARC 2000 beat out the Democrats in contracting this vehicle
for the last day of campaigning.
Candidates and volunteers who wish to join the ElecTruc
for all or part of the last day of campaigning are welcome.
The itinerary will be published here within the next few
days.
We are continuing to order more campaign materials as
the demand and activity of our volunteers exceeds the most
optimistic of our expectations. You can continue to
contribute via credit card at:
http://www.best-president.com/contribute
Only through the generosity of our donors are we able to
utilize innovative campaign tools like the ElecTruc. If you
are as excited as we are by the ElecTruc, please let us know
by contributing.

- LP Candidates in the Press
by Karin Corliss
Look for two of our LP candidates in the press. Senate
candidate Mike Corliss was featured in the latest Michigan
Education Report, put out by the Mackinac Center for Public
Policy. He, along with Abraham and Stabenow, were asked for
their views on education. Corliss predicted his opponents
would be promising "a Christmas list of presents" to the
voters, and he was right on target. He reminds readers that
these "gifts" will be paid with out of their own pockets.
Corliss' wife, Karin, has also gotten press with her
bid for the US House, district 13. The October 19
Northville Record featured a full-page spread of all the
candidates, with answers to a questionnaire sent by the
paper. The Oct 25 Ann Arbor News will contain a piece on
the candidates' views, as well. Karin has also been invited
to participate in a listener call-in hour on election eve
with WEMU Radio, along with the other candidates.
Libertarians in the Ypsilanti area should be able to hear
the program.

- Quotes Without Comment
by Albert McCallum
"[Albert] McCallum, a retired attorney and civil
engineer from Springport, is an articulate spokesman for the
Libertarian Party. He advocates cooperation and persuasion
to find workable solutions to problems, and creating new
laws only as a last resort. While that sounds reasonable,
his support for the repeal of many current laws involving
property rights and other issues is too extreme for us." --
Battle Creek Enquirer, October 27, 2000
"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of
liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that
moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." -- Barry
Goldwater, 1964
