Dear Friend:

This is an announcement for a new pro-individual rights organization. The
Buckeye Liberty Foundation (BLF) is a non-profit organization chartered to
educate Ohioans on the benefits of individual freedom and the necessity of
personal responsibility. We believe this country is in the midst of a
national crisis and that we must act soon to correct the systemic abuse of
government power. We advocate public policy to cut taxes, reduce
government intervention, dissolve bureaucracy, increase individual liberty
and restore Constitutional law. We support the right to bear arms, free
trade and freedom of speech. Although our focus is on American politics,
we are a nonpartisan educational institution with no political
affiliations.

Our activities include the following:

-Quarterly newsletter.
-Original educational pamphlets on issues of local, regional and national
relevance.
-Market research into effective presentation of the ideas of liberty.
-Legal action (when viable) to protect Constitutional guarantees.
-BLF Speakers Bureau.
-Student scholarship essay contest (Buckeye Liberty Endowment).
-Dinner meetings.

We engage in grass roots motivation and voter awareness campaigns when we
have a calculated opportunity to influence public policy. Our unique
approach to politics is educational, up-to-date and tactical in nature.
Other individuals and organizations share our goals and ideals (such as
Gunowners of America, the Cato Institute and the Reason Foundation, to
name a few) but take different approaches to the same ends. We consider
these people our allies in the struggle for freedom; we must attack the
status quo of big government and arbitrary justice from every angle we
can.

The extent of fraud, abuse and deceit emanating from Washington and the
statehouse is staggering. What is more horrifying is the general ignorance
of the facts surrounding these issues. With your support, the BLF pledges
to provide you with the intellectual ammunition you need to become fully
informed and to persuade your friends and family.

Upcoming issues of the BLF newsletter will address issues such as the
following:

Congress says the federal budget deficit is between 4 and 5 trillion
dollars. (That's right. Trillion, with a "T"). Such a deficit is
unconscionable. However, Congress is lying! The actual budget deficit (as
measured by any auditable accounting method) exceeds 25 trillion dollars!


Federal agents are routinely confiscating the property of decent law
abiding Americans without cause, often right here in Ohio. If you are not
already aware of these abhorrent practices, then you must learn the facts.

Learn the true agenda behind government compulsory schooling.

Learn the real reasons that health care costs are on the rise.

Remember the words of Margaret Mead: "Never doubt that a small group of
thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that
ever has." Please support the Buckeye Liberty Foundation with a generous
contribution.

 Cordially,
