I was scanning news and saw the bit below on th LP’s national website. I thought you guys might enjoy it.

An, ahem, unorthodox Libertarian campaign fundraising technique, reported by Iowa LP Vice Chair Roger Fritz: State House candidate Hugh Tweedy “lives on a farm, and in a pasture, he drove a big post in the ground, hooked a chain to it, hooked it to a car, started the car and put a brick on the accelerator — so now the car is driving around in circles,” reported Fritz. “Then he got his paying guests, went about 100 yards away, and let them blast away at the car with their guns. “Apparently after three revolutions someone hit the gas tank and started the car on fire, and it made a few more revolutions before stopping the car.” Sure, flaming cars and gunfire are fun, but do they generate campaign contributions? “He’s raising money to beat the band,” said Fritz — while admitting that “this guy is not what I would consider the traditional Libertarian.” (Kids, don’t try this at home.)
