Dear Rocky Mountain Oilman:

I urge you to support the Libertarian Party and its Presidential
candidate, Roger L. MacBride.

I have been a supporter of Libertarian activities since the early
1960's and have found them to be the only effective way to combat
the rapidly increasing governmental control over all aspects of
our lives. Prior to that time, I supported the Republican Party
but abandoned them in disgust when I found that in Spite of their
free enterprise rhetoric they were no better allies in the fight
for free enterprise than the Democratic Party. President Ford's
signing of 8.622 (the Energy Policy and Conservation Act in Dec-
ember of 1975) after maintaining he was for oil deregulation is
one of many demonstrations of the bankruptcy of the Republican
alternative to Democratic interventionism. Ford's and Nixon's
reversals on such important issues as wage and price controls and
default of New York City are further examples of selling out by
those who claimed to be "friends of free enterprise?

For nearly ten years, Roger MacBride and I have worked together
attempting to advance ideas of liberty and free enterprise. Over
this period we have become good friends and I have grown to respect
his ability and integrity. Roger is both a successful businessman
and a noted constitutional lawyer and scholar. He is far better
fitted to be President than any candidate of any party has been

in my lifetime.
