Dear Vermonter,

It’s time for all parties in Vermont to reform their town committees. The Vermont Libertarian Party will hold its town caucuses on September 14. If you are interested forming a town committee in your town, then contact me asap so I can send you the forms you need and the directions.

We hope to be adding some new towns, but we also will be losing some town committees as people move so you help is vital in making sure we can easily put presidential, statewide, and local candidates on the ballot to give Vermonters a choice of lower taxes, less government, and more freedom.

Caucusing is simple to do, but there are some laws that must be followed. For example, you need to post a notice in two places in your town at least 5 days in advance of your caucus, and if you have more than 1000 people in your town, then the notice must also appear in your local paper.

Chair, Vermont Libertarian Party

To build the Libertarian party in Vermont, we have taken a table at the Barre Gun Show where we will use the Nolan Chart to help people realize they are libertarians. This is being done by “Libertarians for the 2nd Amendment and the thrust is to demonstrate how libertarians are fighting and winning for our fundamental rights the major parties, the ACLU and even the NRA are not securing.

** Date/Time: The Gun Show is February 5th from 9 Am to 5 PM and on February 6th from 9 AM to 3 PM. We are asking for volunteers for 2 hour shifts.

Saturday times
9-11 AM
11 AM- 1 PM
1-3 PM
3-5 PM

Sunday Times
9-11 AM
11 AM- 1 PM
1-3 PM

As you can see, there are only four time slots on Saturday and three on Sunday. We need at least 2 people for each shift. Please help if you can.

** Contact: If you will volunteer to help, please sign up by contacting Doug Richmond at richmonddp@juno.com or 899-3254: OR Karen Kerin at keringhost@gmail.com
