- Remembering Rollie Rohm and Tom
— by Scotty
Boman
An open letter to those concerned with the Rainbow Farms
Massacre (See event schedule: Sept 4th , 5th & 6th)
Dear
freedom lovers:
I regret being unable to attend the activities
being held this week pertaining to the killings of Rollie Rohm and Tom
"Grover" Crosslin. My work schedule and distance make my participation
Neely impossible. But if I could attend I would.
I remember, with
great fondness, attending the roach roast in 2000. It was one of the
most inspiring weekends of my life. I have never been around nicer
people, nor been the guest of more generous hosts. No one was harmed by
this gathering, and I think many people were better for having been
there.
Regardless of the details, one thing is clear. These men
died because our government is out of control. In their zeal to enforce
intrusive laws, politicians have created a law enforcement culture
where-in their agents can kill decent citizens, and feel confident that
they will get away with it.
While you may not hear about us in
the media, there are decent people running for office who respect
individual rights. Some of them, like myself, are with the Libertarian
Party. We believe in the right of all people to their own life.
Specifically, our platform calls for an end to drug prohibition and
confiscatory taxes. In short, we support the kind of society in which
these two gentlemen would still be alive.
Don't give up. My
prayers are with you.

- Letter Writers Alert!
— by Scotty
Boman
I read a disturbing editorial in Sunday's Free
Press. Here is the link to
it:
http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2006609030543
They
should get lots of letters in response to this. Regardless of how one
feels about the MCRI, their suggestions, if put into law, would
effectively end citizen inspired ballot initiatives, and ballot access
by petition.

- Liberty Fest Facing Cancellation: No Affiliates
Interested
— by Scotty Boman
The Libertarian Party of
Michigan’s annual Liberty Fest has traditionally been held in the second
week of November. With that date only a couple of months away, no
affiliate has yet expressed interest. Since this event has always been
hosted by an affiliate (which can keep money earned there-in) it will be
cancelled by default.
Perhaps that date is too close to the
election. If an affiliate is interested in hosting it at a later date,
say early December, they need to make their intentions clear to the LEC.
They need to do so at once.
