If you read nothing else in this letter, read this! The passage of Revision 11 for Fair Elections last November means that the Libertarian Party of Florida and its county affiliates have no more excuses not to run candidates for local office. The LPB ExComm is currently surveying the upcoming year 2000 elections to determine the most likely offices in which to run candidates. We need people willing and able to run as Libertarians for local office! Imagine what it would be like to have a Libertian voice on a local city council, or a zoning board, or even on the county commission. Is it not time we started to put our message into practice? Of course it is!
Would you like to see more people get the message about the local Libertarian Party? So would we! If you have a business you would like to see advertised to current or potential Libertarians in the area, contact Luke Setzer at 639-9062 to make arrangements to get your ad in this newsletter! For a mere $20 per month, you can promote your business through this mailout! The earnings generated from ads like yours can help us to multiply the number of mailings we do each month, bringing us more clout and influence.

Quarterly Platform Presentation
The first 1999 quarterly platform presentation at Choo Choo's B-B-Q and Lounge on
February 25 went well. Richard Hall gave a stunning presentation on the
foolhardiness of America's involvement in foreign wars over the last century, and John
Cornett explicated the silliness of government's attempts at gun control. Guest
speaker General Gene Sterling explained how the Home Rule Charter Committee will help make
county government more responsive to Brevard citizens. The Home Rule Charter
Committee will research grievances of Brevard citizens and attempt to correct them by
petitioning to revise the county charter. A successful petition will allow Brevard
citizens a chance to vote on the revision in a referendum. He has provided the LPB
with over 400 petitions already filled with information about locally registered
Libertarians, ready for a major mailout. The LPB thanked General Sterling for his
benevolent efforts.
