And now to the news and views:
1. County LP chair urges "NO" on Wishard referendum
Libertarians have good cause to mistrust the government’s claims on the
Wishard Hospital referendum that's being pushed through. Libertarian
Party of Marion County Timothy Maguire urges everyone to go to their
polling places tomorrow and tell the government to “STOP.” "Let’s look
at more solutions before we give approval to this new hospital," Maguire
says. "The wording of the ballot question and the fact this is being
held in an off-off-off year should give us more than enough pause."

“Challenger” for tomorrow's election, please contact Tim directly at

7. Quotations du jour
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the
government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of
taking care of them." - Thomas Jefferson
"There is no such thing as 'the public interest' except as the sum of
the interests of individual men. And the basic, common interest of all
men —all rational men— is freedom. Freedom is the first requirement of
'the public interest' — not what men do when they are free, but that
they are free. All their achievements rest on that foundation — and
cannot exist without it. The principles of a free, non-coercive social
system are the only form of 'the public interest.'" - Ayn Rand, The Ayn
Rand Column
"Immediate necessity makes many things convenient, which if continued
would grow into oppressions. Expedience and right are different
things.... When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that
virtue is not hereditary." - Thomas Paine, Common Sense [1776]
