Dear Friend of Liberty,

The Republicans had control of the federal government for years, and they used their power to greatly increase the size, scope, and burden of government.

Now the Democrats are in charge and they're doing it too. Their health care plan currently in the works is a serious threat to liberty.

I can't believe Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner wants to hand out billions more bailout money to GMAC!

And who knows if we'll be able to stop the Obama government health care takeover? We couldn't stop Bush and the Republican Congress from passing the $400 billion (later $1.2 trillion!) Medicare drug plan.

Are you mad enough to run for Congress as a Libertarian yourself? I hope so!

2008 Libertarian vice-presidential nominee Wayne Allyn Root is appearing on two radio programs this week.

Today, at 11:35 AM Pacific Time (2:35 PM Eastern Time), Root will appear on Lou Dobbs's nationally syndicated radio show.

Friday, October 30, at 11:30 Pacific Time (2:30 PM Eastern Time), Root will appear on the Bill Cunningham Show in Cincinnati.

Dear Friend of Liberty,

This coming November 3 is Election Day in many places throughout the U.S. Since it's an odd-numbered year, there are relatively few races. Nevertheless, dozens of Libertarians are on the ballot for various positions.

Libertarian Matt Drew is running for city council in Durham, North Carolina. He placed second in a five-way primary on October 6, and will appear on the November ballot.

According to the Durham Herald-Sun:

Dear Friend of Liberty,

First, I wanted to send a big thank you to the new Monthly Pledgers who signed up for recurring monthly donations online. We added this very convenient feature about a week ago and sent an announcement last Friday. So far, over 20 people have signed up for recurring monthly contributions on our membership and contribution forms.

We have also conducted online polls on the following topics recently:

Dear Friend of Liberty,

I am disappointed that the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Barack Obama. That prize should go to individuals who end wars and make peace, not those who make war.

President Obama has utterly failed to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has increased American military involvement in Afghanistan, and appears ready to escalate that war even further.

Dear Friend of Liberty,

Libertarian Party chairman William Redpath invites you to join him at a book forum sponsored by the Cato Institute. It will be held in Washington, D.C. this coming Tuesday, October 13, at 12:00 p.m.

The featured book is Not Invited to the Party: How the Demopublicans Have Rigged the System and Left Independents Out in the Cold by James T. Bennett. The book contains an afterword written by William Redpath.

Dear Friend of Liberty,

I've been serving as the LP's Executive Director for about ten weeks now. While I do spend some time on visible things like blog postings or writing email broadcasts like this one, I've also spent a lot of my time on unseen things like database improvement and fundraising. I think our staff is making good progress in these areas, and I will have specific numbers to report in the near future.
