County Fair Wrap Up

For the tenth consecutive year, LP Cabarrus sowed the seeds of liberty at the Cabarrus County Fair. Our message of individual liberty and personal responsibility was well received. The number of self-described libertarians stopping by to say hello increases every year. Our numbers are growing.

The issue we got the most mileage out of was auditing the Federal Reserve. We gathered 123 petition signatures for HR 1207/S 604 (Audit The Fed) legislation. Folks are angry about the bailouts and reckless spending.

I would like to thank the following folks for helping represent libertarian values the past week. Marty Readling, Lloyd Morris, Ron McCraw, Brandon Derr (Union County LP). A special shout out goes to Mike Helms; Mr. Helms went beyond the call of duty last week. He also made it possible for me to take a break on Saturday after eight straight days of outreach.

Thanks, Mike!

*MIKE BEITLER SEEKS LIBERTARIAN U.S. SENATE NOMINATION*

GREENSBORO (Sept. 17) – Dr. Michael Beitler announced today he’s seeking the Libertarian Party’s nomination for U.S. Senate in 2010.

“I want you to know, I am committed to abolishing Federal programs and agencies, not to creating new ones,” Beitler told supporters and news media gathered for the announcement at the PTI Airport Marriott Hotel.

“Big government is causing more problems than it is claiming to fix,” he said. “Federal Government’s spending is out of control. Total reported – and unreported – Federal Government debt has taken us to the point of no-return.”

“It’s time to stop the madness,” Beitler said. He said the time has come to stop talking in terms of reducing the budgets of various government programs and agencies.

“The time has come to abolish entire Federal programs and agencies,” Beitler said. Noting that Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) has become know as “Dr. No” in the U.S. House of Representatives, Beitler said he wants to be known as “Dr. Abolish” in the U.S. Senate.

Beitler is business practice professor in The Bryan School of Business and Economics at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. He’s authored three business books used in MBA programs and hosts the Internet radio show “Free Markets With Dr. Mike Beitler” on the VoiceAmerica Business Network.

Beitler also wrote a book about his libertarian philosophy, “Rational Individualism: A Moral Argument for Limited Government & Capitalism.”

The Libertarian Party, the third largest party in the United States, has been active in North Carolina since 1978.It has been the largest and most active third party in modern North Carolina history.

Libertarians have run candidates for President in all but one of the presidential election years since then. This occurred despite the fact that the state has the second most restricted ballot access restrictions in the nation.

In 2008, Mike Munger earned nearly three percent of the vote for governor, enabling the Libertarian Party to retain its spot on the ballot through 2012.
