*MIKE BEITLER SEEKS LIBERTARIAN U.S. SENATE NOMINATION*

GREENSBORO (Sept. 17) – Dr. Michael Beitler announced today he’s seeking the Libertarian Party’s nomination for U.S. Senate in 2010.

“I want you to know, I am committed to abolishing Federal programs and agencies, not to creating new ones,” Beitler told supporters and news media gathered for the announcement at the PTI Airport Marriott Hotel.

“Big government is causing more problems than it is claiming to fix,” he said. “Federal Government’s spending is out of control. Total reported – and unreported – Federal Government debt has taken us to the point of no-return.”

“It’s time to stop the madness,” Beitler said. He said the time has come to stop talking in terms of reducing the budgets of various government programs and agencies.

“The time has come to abolish entire Federal programs and agencies,” Beitler said. Noting that Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) has become know as “Dr. No” in the U.S. House of Representatives, Beitler said he wants to be known as “Dr. Abolish” in the U.S. Senate.

Beitler is business practice professor in The Bryan School of Business and Economics at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. He’s authored three business books used in MBA programs and hosts the Internet radio show “Free Markets With Dr. Mike Beitler” on the VoiceAmerica Business Network.

Beitler also wrote a book about his libertarian philosophy, “Rational Individualism: A Moral Argument for Limited Government & Capitalism.”

The Libertarian Party, the third largest party in the United States, has been active in North Carolina since 1978.It has been the largest and most active third party in modern North Carolina history.

Libertarians have run candidates for President in all but one of the presidential election years since then. This occurred despite the fact that the state has the second most restricted ballot access restrictions in the nation.

In 2008, Mike Munger earned nearly three percent of the vote for governor, enabling the Libertarian Party to retain its spot on the ballot through 2012.

Union County Tea Party...

As you can detect from the photo above, I am not a photographer. I am an activist that takes pictures, every now and then. For those without perfect vision, that's BJ Lawson speaking at the tea party today. Dr. Lawson has played a big part in the Ron Paul Revolution. I believe his best work is yet to come.




If you try really hard, you may recognize Dr. Michael Munger above. The 2008 LP candidate for governor didn't disappoint the crowd assembled on the grounds of the old Union County Courthouse. It was a pleasure, as always, to see Dr. Munger. North Carolina is very fortunate to have young liberty leaders such as Munger and Lawson.

We had a steady flow of folks stopping by the LP booth. We gathered some signatures for HR 1207/S 604 (audit the fed bills) as did the Campaign For Liberty folks set up beside us. Being a member of both the LP and Campaign For Liberty, I had the best of both worlds. I cherish the friendships and unity shared by the liberty movement at in the Charlotte region.

DR. MIKE BEITLER ANNOUNCES FOR U.S. SENATE

GREENSBORO (Sept. 8) --Dr. Michael Beitler (pronounced Bite-ler) will
announce his candidacy for the Libertarian Party's nomination for the
U.S. Senate September 17 at a press conference in the Piedmont-Triad
International Airport Marriott Hotel at 7:30 p.m.

Dr. Michael Munger, 2008 Libertarian gubernatorial candidate and
Barbara Howe, North Carolina Libertarian Party chair will also speak
at the press conference.

As a U.S. Senator, Beitler promises to dramatically reduce the size of
the Federal government. "The big-spending, big-government advocates,
both Democrats and Republicans, must be stopped. We are beyond the
point of simply reducing government program budgets; now we must
abolish entire government programs and agencies"
he said.

Beitler is a business practice professor in The Bryan School of
Business and Economics at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro

.
"I tell my young students, I am ashamed of what the baby-boom
generation is doing to the futures of young Americans. An inheritance
of tens of trillions of dollars in debt is a disgraceful legacy," he
said.

He is the host of "Free Markets With Dr. Mike Beitler," an
internet-radio show that airs on the VoiceAmerica Business Network.
Beitler is the author of three business books used in MBA programs and
"Rational Individualism: A Moral Argument for Limited Government &
Capitalism," a book about his libertarian political philosophy.

Beitler believes his experience as a chief financial officer in
banking and his current work as business consultant will allow him to
quickly see which government programs and agencies must be eliminated.
"I will have a contract with the citizens of North Carolina. If I
cannot accomplish the goal of abolishing government programs and
agencies, the citizens of North Carolina can fire me mid-term,"
Beitler promised.

Beitler has three adult children. He and his wife, Danielle, live in
northwest Guilford County.
