[Lnc-business] Austin Petersen to run for senate as a republican

Tue Jul 4 20:51:49 EDT 2017

My response to Mr Petersen's solicitation letter today:

Dear Austin,

Please remove me from your email list as I would never support a
candidate of the party of Big Government.  Your move shows just
how serious you were in the run for the LP's POTUS nomination and
I hope you do well with your new party and won't try to return to the
LP when the Republicans trash you and and reject you this year.

Try to LIve Free,

Sam Goldstein
