[Lnc-business] Suggestions regarding LP outreach literature

[James Lark]

Dear colleagues:

     I hope all is well with you.  As usual it was nice to see you in 
Orlando last weekend.  I have enclosed below some suggestions regarding 
topics for LP outreach literature.  I hope you find these suggestions 
worthy of your consideration.  I apologize that I was unable to send my 
suggestions sooner; during the past week I have been swamped with 
faculty duties, along with my duties to other libertarian organizations.

     As always, thanks for your work for liberty.  Best wishes to you 
and your loved ones for a wonderful Thanksgiving.

     Take care,
     Jim

Suggestions regarding topics for LP outreach literature:

     I believe we should develop material (including flyers/pamphlets) 
concerning the following topics (listed in no particular order of 
importance):

1)  American foreign policy (ending activities which are hideously 
immoral, horribly counterproductive, extraordinarily expensive, and/or 
blatantly unconstitutional)

2)  Health care and insurance (moving to a truly free market in both 
health care and insurance)

3)  "Crony capitalism" (ending the ability of governments to play 
favorites in various ways)

4)  The increasingly predatory nature of the law enforcement/judicial 
system (e.g., police brutality, generating revenue for the state via 
heavy fines for minor offenses, civil asset forfeiture, pre-trial 
seizure of defendant assets)


     There are many other topics about which we should develop outreach 
material.  My gut feeling (based upon a fair amount of seat-of-the-pants 
empiricism) is that outreach material concerning the topics listed above 
would give us the best return on investment over the near term.  One 
topic about which I may be able to offer specific suggestions for 
outreach material concerns what I view as the increasing pettiness of 
government involvement in our lives.
