DR. MIKE BEITLER ANNOUNCES FOR U.S. SENATE

GREENSBORO (Sept. 8) --Dr. Michael Beitler (pronounced Bite-ler) will  
announce his candidacy for the Libertarian Party?s nomination for the  
U.S. Senate September 17 at a press conference in the Piedmont-Triad  
International Airport Marriott Hotel at 7:30 p.m.

Dr. Michael Munger, 2008 Libertarian gubernatorial candidate and  
Barbara Howe, North Carolina Libertarian Party chair will also speak  
at the press conference.

As a U.S. Senator, Beitler promises to dramatically reduce the size of  
the Federal government. ?The big-spending, big-government advocates,  
both Democrats and Republicans, must be stopped. We are beyond the  
point of simply reducing government program budgets; now we must  
abolish entire government programs and agencies? he said.

Beitler is a business practice professor in The Bryan School of  
Business and Economics at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro.  
?I tell my young students, I am ashamed of what the baby-boom  
generation is doing to the futures of young Americans. An inheritance  
of tens of trillions of dollars in debt is a disgraceful legacy,? he  
said.

He is the host of ?Free Markets With Dr. Mike Beitler,? an  
internet-radio show that airs on the VoiceAmerica Business Network.  
Beitler is the author of three business books used in MBA programs and  
?Rational Individualism: A Moral Argument for Limited Government &  
Capitalism,? a book about his libertarian political philosophy.

Beitler believes his experience as a chief financial officer in  
banking and his current work as business consultant will allow him to  
quickly see which government programs and agencies must be eliminated.  
?I will have a contract with the citizens of North Carolina. If I  
cannot accomplish the goal of abolishing government programs and  
agencies, the citizens of North Carolina can fire me mid-term,?  
Beitler promised.

Beitler has three adult children. He and his wife, Danielle, live in  
northwest Guilford County.

"Those who pretend they want to preserve freedom, while they are eager to fix
prices, wage rates, and interest rates at a level different from that of the
market, delude themselves. There is no other alternative to  
totalitarian slavery
than liberty. There is no other planning for freedom and general  
welfare than to
let the market system work. There is no other means to attain full employment,
rising real wage rates, and a high standard of living for the common man than
private initiative and free enterprise."
