Take Action
There are several things you can do right now to promote liberty. We encourage you to write newspaper editors, public officials, and others often. Every message can make a difference.
Contact your elected officials:
President Barack Obama
The White House
Washington, DC 20500
Phone: 202-456-1111
Fax: 202-456-2461
E-mail:
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden
Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) 651-296-3391
Visit Congress.org and enter in your zip code to find your representatives.
Write a letter to your newspaper Editor:
Your letter can reach thousands or millions of readers to influence public opinion, expose or praise Congressional voting records, alert the public on key issues, correct media bias, and more.
When writing letters to the editor or calling talk shows, keep your message brief (letters should be 200 words or shorter), easily understandable to someone who is not familiar with the issue (avoid jargon and specialized terminology as many readers won't understand such terms), and stay focused on the subject.

Internet Networking
E-mail your friends and fellow libertarians or post messages promoting your issue suggesting that people take these same actions. You can post messages to libertarian newsgroups, start a web page, or visit other libertarian web sites and e-mail them to alert them to your issue. Create your own blog website too!
The LPMN has a presence in several social networking websites. Visit our "On the Web" section to get in touch with us and stay informed through those channels.

Talk Radio Programs
Talk shows are perhaps the best way you can bypass liberal media bias, and you will have the opportunity to educate or rally to action thousands or even millions of people with one phone call. Call the local talk shows in your area, the national shows such as those hosted by Rush Limbaugh and Mike Reagan. You can also fax or e-mail comments and articles to talk shows to alert the hosts about issues so they can warn their listeners; and many hosts will read e-mail comments on the air--saving you the struggle of getting through on the phone.
Public Television
Currently the Libertarian Party of Minnesota broadcasts a show called the "Libertarian Alternative" on local public access television which reaches thousands of people. Contact "Libertarian Alternative" producer Doug Scribner (612-205-5858) to get this show in your city. He can also tell you how to begin your own TV program if interested.
