YOUR TOP TEN LIST OF THINGS TO DO BETWEEN NOW AND ELECTION DAY

Write a letter to the editor supporting your favorite Libertarian candidate.  DO IT NOW.  See http://www.bobbarr2008.com/letters-to-the-editor-samples/ for samples.

Contact one of the Libertarian candidates in your area to see how you can help his or her campaign.  Check http://www.mi.lp.org/Shared%20Documents/candidates.aspx or email chair@michiganlp.org for contact information.

Print and hand out candidate slate cards to your friends.  See http://www.mi.lp.org/Shared%20Documents/slatecard1.pdf.

Send a message to your entire email address book, letting them know you're supporting Libertarian candidates, and they can find out more at www.mi.lp.org.

Call into a talk radio program supporting Libertarian candidates.

Point out to your friends who are economic conservatives or Second Amendment supporters that John McCain will lose big in Michigan .  Rather than waste their vote by voting for the lesser of two evils, they can send a message by voting for Libertarian Bob Barr, a true supporter of economic freedom and the Second Amendment.

Point out to your friends who are civil libertarians or oppose the Iraq war that Barack Obama will win big in Michigan .  Rather than waste their vote by voting for the lesser of two evils, they can send a message by voting for Libertarian Bob Barr, who opposes warrantless wiretapping of US citizens and wants to pull our troops out of Iraq NOW.

Make sure all supporters of Libertarian candidates you know plan to vote.  Offer them a ride to the polls, if they need one.

Get out and vote for Libertarian candidates!  (And don't forget Libertarian nonpartisan Supreme Court candidate Bob Roddis.)

Celebrate at your nearest Libertarian Party Election Night Party.  See the calendar at www.mi.lp.org, or organize your own and advise webmaster@michiganlp.org, so he can put it on the calendar.


THE BOB BARR CAMPAIGN IS LOOKING FOR SOME GOOD VOLUNTEERS

By Stephen Gordon, e-Campaign Manager

Because Election Day is right around the corner, it´s time for Defenders of Liberty to ramp up our Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) efforts. While it´s important to work with your state and local Libertarian Party with campaign sign and door-knocking operations, we´ve got a vital GOTV effort which you can do from inside your own house.

We´ve just opened our virtual call center at LibertyManager.com. From LibertyManager, anyone can call up voters in targeted districts to encourage them to cast their vote for Bob Barr.

When you log in at LibertyManager on the Internet, you will receive a script that is custom-tailored by time zone, location and political affiliation for the telephone number LibertyManager provides for you to call. All you have to do is log in, place a call, record your results -- and LibertyManager will automatically direct you to the next number to dial.

The first step is to register at LibertyManager so you can be informed of when the next calling campaign begins.  You will be notified by e-mail when your account has been validated and you can start persuading people to cast their vote for Bob Barr.

GOTV calls are a vital part of any political campaign and I urge you to register at LibertyManager.com today. Should you have any questions or problems with the registration process, please call (678) 324-3240 and ask for Austin or Mikael.
