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,

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:
