DR. MIKE BEITLER ANNOUNCES FOR U.S. SENATE
GREENSBORO (Sept. 
–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.

Soon Third Party Revolution will be coming to endorse him, I’m sure, because he endorses anybody whose not a Democrat or Republican.
Hopefully Mike will attract conservatives angry about Republicans not being able to stop Catholic Trotskyism (aka healthcare public option and sane foreign policy) thus giving Democrats the seat.

What does Mike think about Ralph Nader? Would he believe that September 8 is an important holiday because I got a new computer after 40 days of spywhere?

Remember all the hoopla about Mungers campaign for Governor in 2008.
It ended up being a dud.

Exactly Eric, he got like 2%, right?
The same thing will happen. No strategy and no mass movement of the population = complete losers.

Getting 2% secured the North Carolina ballot line for the Libertarians. Now they don’t need to collect 85,000 signatures to get on the ballot in 2012. Congrats to Munger and his state party.

Best wishes to Beitler. Yes, another quixotic campaign, most likely, but we’re still working out the kinks.
Based on his credentials, it appears he’s to be one of our more credible candidates. LPNC seems to be on a roll in this regard.
Keep up the good work.

Alas you have predicted right CT, because we here at Third Party Revolution endorse Mike Beiter in his campaign for the North Carolina US Senate Seat, along with many other third party and independent candidates seeking public offices nation-wide, ranging from local to federal levels.

Palin NO, Paul / Paulin Maybe.
I think the LP should be concetrating on the
435 seats in congress. The only way anything is
going to change in our government is for us to
take the majority of congressional seats. Every
seat must be challanged in the next elections. All of our efforts $$$ should be going towards this goal. STOP THE BICKERING ABOUT THE PROCEDURES,PLATFORMS ETC AND GET THE DAMN JOB DONE.

Vote Libertarian. Stop wasting your votes on Democrats and Republicans, unless you are happy with the status quo.

If you go to http://www.LP.org and read the Libertarian Platform, you will be convinced that a vote for Mike Beitler and other Libertarians is our best hope for a bright future. Entrenched politicos have ruined our once-free country. Let’s stand up and VOTE to create a second revolution in our country!
