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 This movie was released in 1981 and almost immediately withdrawn from the theaters.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.

- Metro Detroit Office
by Leonard Schwartz
The search for a less expensive Metro Detroit office is
taking longer than expected. To save money, LPM will vacate
its current office in Hazel Park at the end of May.
If you have lent office equipment or furniture for the
office and want it back, please remove it. If you don't have
a key to the office, please contact me.
If you live in the Detroit area and are willing to
store office equipment or furniture until the new Metro
Detroit office opens, please contact me.
There may be a rummage sale at the end of May for
whatever is left. If you are willing to help run a rummage
sale, please contact me. The rest will be discarded.

- End Financial Corruption in Lansing
by Mark Powell
71st District State Representative nominee Mark Powell
drafted a resolution which was adopted at the LPM State
Convention on April 17. It details the corrupt practices of
partisan politics in the Michigan Legislature which are paid
for by the taxpayers of this state............ Mark brings
experience and conscience to an issue that led to his
becoming a Libertarian. He served as a staff member in the
Michigan House of Representatives from 2000-2003. He saved
every one of his e-mails from the day he was hired until
about a few days before he left government
service............ This and other evidence shows a total
disregard for the taxpayer as Republican and Democratic
field operatives are assigned to "vulnerable" districts
around the state. These expenditures are Lansing's dirty
little secret AND IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR DECADES! Neither
the press nor the major parties want to put an end to
it................ Our neighboring state of Wisconsin had a
similar system for funding a caucus system that was recently
dismantled. As it is now the taxpayer is paying for
salaries, benefits and supplies for political operatives.
The time is now for our candidates to inform the voters on
this matter. Our Libertarian candidates should make this a
flagship issue for the fall - look for more on this in
coming weeks on our website...................... It is
immoral and a financial disgrace that in this time of a 1.7
billion dollar deficit, that our legislators would sacrifice
Child Protection workers for Politician Protection workers.
This resolution gives ammunition to each one of our House
candidates and the state party to use truth, justice and
fairness in the opening shot of the 2004
race.......................... To get involved or support
Mark in this crusade for taxpayer justice, contact
class77@concentric.net.
