- Schwartz 8% and Creswell 6% in Poll
by Leoanrd Schwartz
Poll Indicates Success of LPM Strategy
A statewide poll by Survey USA, conducted for WDIV-TV in Detroit and WZZM-TV in Grand Rapids after the August 8 primary, showed:
U.S. Senator:
48% - Debbie Stabenow, Dem
41% - Michael Bouchard, Rep
8% - Leonard Schwartz, Lib
3% - undecided
Governor:
50% - Dick DeVos, Rep
42% - Jennifer Granholm, Dem
6% - Greg Creswell, Lib
3% - undecided
This poll indicates that LPM's new strategy is effective. The key parts of this strategy are telling voters that:
(1) Voting for Democrats or Republicans is a waste of your vote.
(2) Libertarians aren't busybodies.
(3) Libertarians are the traditional middle of the road.

- Bill Hall to address Family Rights Coalition
by Tim O'Brien
The LPM candidate for Michigan Attorney General, Bill Hall, will be addressing the joint memberships of the several organizations that comprise the Family Rights Coalition at a special meeting in Oakland County on Monday, August 21, at 7:00pm.
The group is keenly interested in the Libertarian alternative to incumbent Republican, Michael Cox, who has attempted to build his reputation -- and federal subsidy funding -- on the broken families of Michigan.
The event will be held at the Oakland County Complex at 1200 N. Telegraph in Pontiac. It is free and open to the public.
This is an outstanding opportunity for the LPM to reach out to a large, political constituency that is anxious to have a genuine voice in the public policy debate.Back to Contents
