Dear Friend of Liberty,

It's hard to celebrate Labor Day when unemployment is 9.6 percent.

Government interference is the single biggest cause of unemployment. Minimum wage laws, OSHA, ADA, etc., etc., make it difficult both to hire and to fire workers. (And when it's difficult to fire workers, it's much less likely that they will be hired in the first place.) To reduce unemployment, we need to start repealing laws!

Libertarian candidate Barry Hess, running for Arizona governor (against incumbent Jan Brewer), participated in a four-way televised candidate debate on September 2. Click here to watch the debate video.

According to New York LP chair Mark Axinn, all six Libertarians running for statewide office succeeded in their petitioning to get on the November ballot. New York voters will have Libertarian options for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, both U.S. Senate seats, Attorney General, and Comptroller.

Several other Libertarian congressional and state legislative candidates also made it on the ballot.

Dear Friend of Liberty,

Today is my birthday! I've already received a great gift in the form of a video from the Travis Irvine for Congress campaign. (Actually I'm not sure they intended it as a gift, but I'm pleased all the same.)

The video shows the candidate volunteering for the Quiz Across America door hanger project in his neighborhood and interacting with voters. Please visit our home page to see the video.

Dear Friend of Liberty,

We're happy to finally launch QUIZ ACROSS AMERICA!

We just received our first printing of 200,000 door hangers. They look great, and we're ready to start shipping them to volunteers. You can get up to 100 for each five dollars you donate. (Minimum order: 200 hangers for $10.)

Dear Friend of Liberty,

As the 2010 election approaches, a lot of Republican politicians are trying to posture as government-cutters, and they often hold up Ronald Reagan as an example.

But although Reagan often talked about supporting smaller government, most Libertarians know that in practice he did exactly the opposite. For example:
