Dear Friend and Freedom-Lover, Please join us and attend the Manhattan Libertarian Party Annual Convention! It's this Saturday, January 21st, 2006. Business meeting sign-up starts at 2pm, cocktails and dinner registration at 5pm. We meet in the Banquet Hall of the luxurious and beautiful Ukrainian East Village Restaurant, 140 Second Avenue between 9th Street & St. Mark's Place, featuring full wait service, complete cash bar, beers of Eastern Europe and the delicacies and recipes that made the Ukraine the epicenter of Eastern cuisine, which the Russian czars could only dream of. Our special guests will be our special keynote speaker, Mr. James Bovard, author of the famous "Feeling Your Pain", "Attention Deficit Democracy", and "The Bush Betrayal"; Fred Cookinham, author of "The Age of Rand: Imagining an Objectivist Future World"; and Letitia James, NYC Councilmember and author of anti-eminent domain legislation; and several other exciting surprise guests. A video crew from C-SPAN television network will attend the Convention on Saturday to profile Mr. Bovard, so it looks like the MLP will be featured nationally and perhaps internationally yet again (nothing new for us--remember "Guns for Tots", the "Unauthorized Protest" in Central Park, and our "Penny Poker Tournament"?). Plus, we will have a special 50/50 Cash Prize raffle with the super "Giant MLP Jackpot", where you can win hundreds of dollars with just a single ticket; an MLP Silent Auction with exciting pro-freedom literature and merchandise; and copies of our brand-new edition of Serf City, the Manhattan LP's hard-hitting newspaper being distributed throughout Manhattan. Also, there will undoubtedly be plenty of spirited and impassioned debate during the entire day, including the dramatic and impressive MLP Annual Convention business meeting. (Anyone can join the MLP this Saturday for $15 and participate immediately in voting for our new resolutions, Chapter business, and for our new County Committee officers. You can even run to be one of our officers if you are inclined to "throw your hat in the ring" and fight for freedom!). You can still attend the Convention by registering at the door on Saturday at 2pm or 5pm. All the information you need can be found on the registration form by clicking this link (just remember, because the Convention is several days away, you must register Saturday at the door): http://www.manhattanlp.org/y2006/ConventionSignupSheet2006.pdf<http://wwwmanhattanlp.org/y2006/ConventionSignupSheet2006.pdf> We in the Manhattan LP feel we have earned your trust and support over the years when it comes to fighting for freedom and libertarian principles in New York City. With the launch of Serf City newspaper, we've entered a new era in NYC Libertarian outreach. But when we put on our Convention each year, we have to compete for your attendance just like any other activity and group you can choose to spend time and money on. This year's Convention is going to be especially captivating, entertaining, and thought-provoking. Our speakers are the best. The discussion will be incisive and enthralling. I'm confident there's nowhere I'd rather be this Saturday in New York. So, we hope to see you there! Don't give up on Liberty just yet--we're not going to.

Is there anyone who would suggest that means only registered voters have a right to read?" --Georgetown University professor Robert Levy Nic Leobold, an admitted gun-nut, says: "Buy a gun today and protect your family and loved ones from bad people. Avoid crime, terrorism, civil unrest or a tyrannical government with your [choose one] God-given/moral/ethical/civil/individual/human right to protect yourself and exercise self-defense. Don't worry, you already have a license, permit and registration for it, it's called your voter registration card or state I.D. Don't listen to politicians and bought-and-paid-for police chiefs who claim you don't." -Nic (Amendment II of the Bill of Rights, Constitution of the United States, guarantees that ".the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.") ("Self-defense and survival is the prime directive and right of every human. No government, organization, group, authority or entity supersedes or is greater than any man, woman or child. The individual, not the group or nation, is the basic building block and supreme unit of any civilized society, and the well-being of all individuals through their individual autonomy comes before any considerations of the group or nation. Therefore gun ownership and possession by the individual is a fundamental and basic natural right which absolutely must be preserved." -Nic Leobold) "Gun nuts" are otherwise reasonable, respectful people who believe that all human beings have a human right to defend themselves and their loved ones by owning and carrying guns for self-protection; and that guns are the easiest and safest way for the vast majority of people, including elderly, women and the disabled and handicapped, to effectively practice self-defense; but these reasonable, respectful people have been pigeon-holed and stereotyped as "radicals", "loonies", "militia types", "country hicks", and "rednecks", because intellectuals think you have to be crazy or live in the South to want to have a gun. That's why some of us call ourselves "gun nuts". It's a sarcastic and ironic comment on the folly of our present-day political correctness and slavish worship of and acquiescence to authority and the government. But I can tell you, there's nothing sarcastic or ironic about being mugged, assaulted or threatened, as often happens here in the big city. So be prepared-buy a gun. -Nic the gun nut ----------------------------*NICOOGLE ADVERTISEMENT*-------------------------------- For all your telecommunication needs, including telephone service, DSL, VOIP, satellite TV, cellular phones, web hosting and internet domains, calling cards, computer and office equipment, conference calls, and so much more, go with NLTEL: http://www.GO-NLTEL.com<http://www.go-nltel.com/> -----------------------------*NICOOGLE ADVERTISEMENT*------------------------------- "One of the three greatest lies ever told is, 'Hi, We're from the government, and we want to help you.'" --Ronald Reagan "Democracy is what you get when two wolves and a sheep sit down to vote on what to have for dinner." "Liberty cannot be preserved without general knowledge among the people. Let us dare to read, think, speak and write." --John Adams, August, 1765 "A nation of sheep breeds a government of wolves." "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism." --Thomas Jefferson "To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men." --Abraham Lincoln "Everyone's entitled to their opinion. Everyone's not entitled to their own facts, however." --Daniel Patrick Moynihan "The solution that most people put forward to rectify the failure of government is more government. In government, nothing succeeds like failure." --Gary Popkin "You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all of the time." --Abraham Lincoln "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to step back and reflect." "The price of liberty is eternal vigilance" --Thomas Jefferson "I swore never to be silent whenever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Remaining neutral helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." --Elie Weisel "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
