NO MEETING IN DECEMBER 2002 Enjoy the Holidays!

Tuesday 26 November 2002 Supperclub:
The scheduled speaker, Dr. Jay Cavanaugh, National Director of the American Alliance For Medical Cannibis, did not make it to the meeting. He has been rescheduled for January. Brian Lackey discussed a scheme in which members would sign up for a particular week to write a letter to the editor of an area newspaper. However, the member would send the letter to Bryan or Al in order to make sure that the letter claiming to express the libertarian viewpoint was truly in accord with the libertarian viewpoint. Bryan or Al would then send the letter to the newspaper editor.

Tuesday 22 October 2002 Supperclub:
Richard Cabral, a representative from the NRA was the speaker. He said he works for the educational wing of the NRA. He said the NRA supports enforcing existing gun laws but opposes new laws. The NRA supports the right to keep and bear arms as clearly stated in the Second Amendment. He said he supports "fair trade" but I was unable to find out just exactly what "fair trade" means. I think most Libertarians would agree with his support for the Second Amendment. Those present at the meeting included

Office.  It was suggested that the banner for the table be based on the theme, "Abolish the Income

Tom Carroll volunteered and were assigned the day shift from noon till 6 PM.  Volunteers Jim Bayes,
Alan Sands, and Biggadike were assigned the night shift from 6 PM till midnight.

A vote was taken on what to call our monthly get togethers and the name, Supperclub, was
chosen.

Dan Fernandes mentioned that he had written to David Dreier (Representative California 28th
District, http://dreier.house.gov/) and that Drier had disagreed
with him on the issue of the medical use of marijuana.  He said Drier cited polls indicating that
the majority were against the use of marijuana.  This calls for convincing the majority that
marijuana laws are bad and making sure politicians know that the majority are against these laws.
Dan mentioned that the publication, "Imprimis", might be of interest to libertarians and that a
free subscription could be received by writing to Imprimis@hillsdale.edu.

Attendees at the meeting were asked to provide their name and e-mail address.  This information has
since been put into a file and e-mailed to the attendees.
