- Bylaws and Platform Chairs Named
by Greg Stempfle
The 2003 Bylaws Committee and Platform Committee Chair
positions were appointed by James Hudler on Sunday. LPM
Vice-Chair Jerry Bloom has been named Chair of the Platform
Committee and Newsletter Editor Greg Stempfle will be
chairing the Bylaws Committee. These two committees will
meet the morning of the State Convention to discuss proposed
bylaws and platform changes. Their recommendations will be
presented to the convention at large later in the day for a
vote. The committees will consist of one delegate chosen
from each of the five largest affiliates. All party members
may introduce proposed changes to the committees for
consideration. Changes may also be presented during floor
debates, however the committee reports will be presented
first. If you would like to introduce a platform change,
please send it to jerryliberty@hotmail.com. Bylaws changes

- Bill Shotey Memorial Service March 2
by Greg Stempfle
A memorial service for libertarian activist Bill Shotey
has been scheduled for March 2nd at the Michigan LP
Headquarters in Hazel Park. Bill passed away suddenly on
November 20th at the age of 70 while visiting his family in
Arizona. Services for Bill were held in Arizona, but there
has been no memorial held here in Michigan.
It’s important for many of us here to have a ceremony
to help bring closure to the sudden death of this great man.
This ceremony will serve as a celebration of his life and
everybody is welcome to share their memories of Bill. If
you have any photos of Bill from various functions, please
bring them along to the service. The memorial will begin at
7:00. Bill served as Wayne County Vice-Chair for years and
was a 2000 Defender of Liberty award winner.
For more information, contact Wayne County Chair, Greg
Stempfle (313) 359-3240
