Subject: ACTION: Celebrity Libertarians
The next version of "Liberty Today" is being developed. It is the
tabloid that is sent to all LP prospects who call for info. The editor
would like to include quotes from famous people that promote the
Libertarian Party or libertarianism in general. Please go through your
files and send me any such quotes you have (within a week, if
possible.) Please include the most complete citation you can (date,
page number, etc.)
And if you ever have any updates to this list, please send those, too.
Send directly to tomis@microsoft.com and I'll compile and post the results.
