Message from the Chair
All of
our projects are certainly keeping us busy this summer. I think this July has been
the busiest period that I can recall since the LPB was formed. The best news is,
we're not done yet. Our petition drive with the Home Rule Charter Committee to amend
the County charter has completed the home stretch. Of the 12,500 total petitions
required, 2500 in each County Commission district, we have already been certified by the
Supervisor of Elections as having qualified in 4 of the 5 districts. By the time you
read this, we expect that the last ten signatures needed in the fifth and final district
will have been certified. Then it will be up to us to get the word out to the voters
to vote YES on these issues when they come up on the March 2000 ballot. This is too
important to let pass by. By amending the County Charter, we can shape our local
government and show people how Libertarian principles benefit them. I want to thank
everyone who has contributed to this effort. Without the efforts of our volunteers,
these issues would never have made it to the ballot. GREAT JOB!
Our second annual "HUGE Garage Sale" was a big success again
this year. We raised $620.25 this year. Our only problem once again was that
we ran out of things to sell before we ran out of buyers. We could have raised much
more if only we had had the items to sell. Ric Roberts and Ann Cornett were
instrumental in making this year's sale a HUGE success. For their efforts, as well
as those of the workers who manned the tables, I would like to express our appreciation
and thanks.
The LP Florida's Operation Bootstrap is finally running in high
gear. The first mailing was sent out the first week in August. Our volunteers are
making follow-up phone calls after each mailing goes out. With over 400 contacts to
follow up here in Brevard, we still need more people to help with this very important
project. The LPF has provided a professionally developed script and guidelines for
our volunteers to use. With the additional membership from Operation Bootstrap, we
will be in a much better position to support our candidates in the next election. It
is time to begin preparing to reap the benefits of last year's Revision 11 victory.
We'll certainly be seeing more Libertarian candidates on the ballot. We must have a
Party big enough to give them the backing they deserve. Please contact me if you are
willing to make some phone calls and make this project a success.
Our third quarterly platform presentation will be held on Thursday,
August 26 (see calendar). Our featured speaker will be Mike Moehle of the local
Citizens for Constitutional Property Rights (CCPR). His topic will be "The Cost
and Effectiveness of Environmental Regulations". He describes himself as
"an environmentalist but not a socialist." He will be followed by John
Cornett, the LPB treasurer, who will complement Mike's presentation with his own treatise
on the Libertarian concept of property rights.

Side Notes
The LPB
Monthly Social on July 29 offered a special speaker: Tom Regnier, Vice Chair of the
Libertarian Party of Florida. Tom spoke at length to attendees about a wide variety
of topics. Among these were his suggestions for improving the language of the
National Libertarian Party platform. Many of his suggestions passed, making the
platform more accessible to the average American without compromising Libertarian
principles. Tom reiterated that the LP still has work to do to help it drop its
current "small party rhetoric". |
