SHEPARD 2008 CAMPAIGN UPDATE - VOTE ON MARCH 11 

  _____  


FRIDAY NIGHT FUNDRAISER THIS WEEK!

We also have a special guest in that our good friend Andrew Horning is
planning to attend.  Andy is very popular across the state and has done
wonderful things for Libertarian oriented politics and education.  He also
was one of the early leaders in organizing the property tax rallies over the
summer.

EVENT DETAILS: Friday, February 29 6:30-8:30pm;
<http://www.discoverfountainsquare.com/merchant.cfm?id=27> Santorini's Greek
Kitchen (one of Indianapolis Monthly's "top 25" restaurants since 2002),
located in the Historic Fountain Square District,1417 Prospect Street,
Indianapolis, IN. Cost per person: $50, with proceeds benefiting the Shepard
for Congress campaign. Being provided is a four-course meal featuring
"Chicken Souvlaki".

Seating is limited to 50 persons, so RSVP to Tim Maguire at:
<mailto:Maguire_tj at hotmail.com> Maguire_tj at hotmail.com ASAP.  

STAR ARTICLE FROM TODAY

The Indianapolis Star's article today, despite losing the nuance and really
getting my position on abortion wrong (I don't "support" abortion at any
level - see my issues page at the web site) it was otherwise fair and we are
told it was the largest, longest most prominantly placed piece on a
Libertarian candidate they've ever done.  I appreciate Bobby (Robert) King
from the Star spending the time with me.  

I also met with Star's Editorial Board today and I believe that went well.
Well enough to overcome "major party" bias and that only two of three were
there (one was ill today), I don't know. But, I was well received and
enjoyed the time with them quite a bit. 

If anyone has ANY question about where I stand on the various issues, just
visit here:  <http://shepard2008.com/issues/> http://shepard2008.com/issues/
... in response to the Star article I made sure a couple of social issues
were posted and included a link to "Libertarians for Life" at
<http://www.l4l.org/> http://www.l4l.org/ 

ON-LINE POLL RESULTS

We achieved double-digit results at another on-line poll and are still
polling well at HoosiersforFairTaxation (
<http://hoosiersforfairtaxation.blogspot.com>
http://hoosiersforfairtaxation.blogspot.com).  We believe that in the real
world we are polling much better in this race than any Libertarian ever has.
This represents the frustration that others feel about the current
leadership in Congress, concerns many have about our opponents, awareness of
'no straight party' voting on the 11th and the feeling many people have that
things are not well with our country and we need to change course.

FOX 59 SEGMENT FROM TUESDAY MORNING

MARCH 6th DEBATE AT IUPUI
 
The debate at IUPUI will be on Thursday, March 6th at 7:30 PM.  We will have
50 tickets to give to supporters.  The event will be held in the 350 seat
University Place Auditorium.  WISH's Jim Shella and WTLC's Amos Brown will
be moderating the discussion.   Make sure you've sent a request in for your
ticket reservations if you haven't already.
 
DON'T WANT CAMPAIGN UPDATES OR GOT IT TWICE?
 
We've been limiting these to only every couple or few days, but if you
really prefer not get an update on how the campaign is going and what events
are scheduled, absolutely just reply back and ask to be dropped from the
list.  If you got this message twice, let us know also it just means your on
two different lists and we need to get you off of one of them! 
 
As always, thank you to everyone for their support and good wishes!  March
11th is going to be a landmark day in Indiana!
