2. LPM Campaign Fund (Why we need to fill it) — by Scotty Boman
   
   Well last time I asked for money it was for the Federal Fund. That fund is doing well, now it turns out, there needs to be money in the Libertarian Party of Michigan Campaign Fund. Why? Because the government says so of course. What will we use this money for? To tell the voters about our candidates. Campaign finance laws require that any promotional materials the party distributes(such as a slate list of our candidates) must be paid for out of the LPM Campaign Fund.
   The bad news is that the LPM campaign fund is empty. The good news is that the LPM has thousands of dollars in it's Federal and General Fund. It is illegal to move money between funds. There is only one way for the LPM to promote it's slate of candidates state-wide...Donate today. Checks must be made out to the “LPM Campaign Fund” Checks that don’t include the suffix “Campaign Fund” will go into our general fund. Donations can be sent directly to our mailing address: P.O. Box 27065, Lansing, MI 48924-7065Back to Contents
