May 8, 2004 - 7:00 PM
- "Almost Banned Movie Night." A Libertarian Party of Oakland County fundraising event. Join us for a viewing of "Harry's War." "Harry's War" is the comedy/drama about a man who had finally had enough. Harry Johnson (played by Edward Herrmann) handles his tax problem like any sane patriotic American...he declares war on the Internal Revenue Service. It isn't for hate of paying taxes, but love of and defense for his "Aunt" Beverly (played by 1986 Oscar winner Geraldine Paige), who is being unjustly harassed by the IRS. Suggested donation: $10/person. This movie was released in 1981 and almost immediately withdrawn from the theaters. The stars were audited in an apparent effort to further suppress it.

- Campaign Finance Reminder
by Leonard Schwartz
Attention All Candidates for State or Local Office
Even if you don't plan to spend any money, you must
create a candidate committee and file a "Statement of
Organization Form for Candidate Committees." You can
download this form from www.michigan.gov/sos. Even if you
don't plan to open a checking account, you must list a bank
or credit union on line 11 of the form.
If you are a candidate for a county or township office,
file two copies with the county clerk. If you are a
candidate for some other office, file two copies with the
Bureau of Elections.
The deadline for filing this form is May 7. If you miss
this deadline, your name will still appear on the ballot.
But the government will impose a large daily late fee.
(Congressional candidates: Don't register with the
Bureau of Elections. If you plan to spend more than $5000,
register with the Federal Elections Commission.)
For more information, see my articles in the
March/April, 2004, Michigan Libertarian.
