- New LEC Kicks Off New Year
The 2004 LEC had its first meeting of the year at the
State Office in Lansing, laying the groundwork for managing
the structure of the Party and organizing for the coming
election season.
Chairman Mike Donahue presented an outline of his
organizational plan which he intends to implement in the
coming months. He made appointments to several of the
positions within his plan and intends to have a definite
structure so those involved will have clearly defined roles
and responsibilities. Mike announced that he hopes be to
working with each of the officers and their committees to
provide support and direction, as well as following up to
ensure timely accomplishment of important tasks.
Some of the preliminary appointments are as follows:
The Finance Committee of the LPM was formed with Treasurer
Will White as Chairman. Nathan Allen was appointed as
Finance Director. He will assist the LEC Treasurer in
developing the 2004 budget and financial plan. Dan Sheill
will act as Fundraising Director, developing such projects
as needed to develop funds for our various efforts.
Secretary Tom Quinn will Chair and organize our
Communications Committee. Within this area is the
newsletter, which will continue to be produced by Newsletter
Editor Jamie Lewis. Jamie announced that other than the June
1st deadline previously established for the current issue,
the LEC meeting will act as the standard deadline. The
Communications Director position is expected to be filled
soon, with a specific candidate known but not ready for
announcement. It was announced that Steve Van Til will take
over duties as Website Director.
Rae Jozwiak will act as Convention Director, recruiting
managers for LibertyFest and Convention 2005.
Vice-Chairman Jim Miller will Chair the Outreach Committee
of the LPM.
Greg Stempfle was announced as the Political Director,
developing such areas as candidate training, lobbying
efforts, and running the Speak-Out Michigan system. Greg
immediately announced that he wants to have two leadership
conferences this summer to train our candidates.
Bill Gelineau will act as Field Director, and will focus on
affiliate activities, membership, and coordinating the
Lansing office.
The good working atmosphere at the meeting ensured that all
topics received an appropriate amount of time for
discussion. The next meeting of the LEC will be held on July
25.

- LPOC Shootout was a Blast
by Michael Netski
The results of our shooting fundraiser (April 29, 2004)
and "Almost Banned Movie Night" fundraiser (May 8, 2004)
netted the party a grand total of $670.00, with zero
casualties and great fun had by all of the participants.
The financial gains exceeded our expectations due to
the large number of participants and most notably the
generosity of our members who donated not only ammo and use
of their firearms, but also their time and patience with the
new shooters. In several instances foregoing their own full
participation in the event.
It appears as though we are not the only ones who had
this idea. Two of our presidential candidates participated
in a shooting fundraiser as well. As cited at:
http://www.lp.org/lpnews/0406/texas-ballot.html
We also extend out gratitude to Al and the people at
Double Action Indoor Shooting Center for use of their
facilities and their assistance in making the shooting
fundraiser a safe and successful event.
If any member has suggestions for future fundraising
ideas or thoughts on improving existing ones then contact
Mike Netski at: michael@netski.org or call his cell phone
at: 586-350-5596
