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.
