[[Vivien Kellems]], the tax crusader, has asked for our help in her current project to remove the unfair tax burden (is there any other kind?) on singles and childless marrieds.  To help, she asks you to urge your Congressman to support HR 850, and your Senators to support S869.  Wilbur Mills also needs a push to get him to hold Ways and Means hearings on HR 850.

Steven D. Symms, Republican candidate for Congress in Idaho’s 1st District.  Steve is a fruit grower in Caldwell, Idaho (home of Caxton Press), and, judging from his campaign literature, is “our kind of man.”  He believe that “Waht this country needs is to respect property and human rights (which, common sense tells us, are one and the same), and to strive for maintaing (sp?) free entry into the market for everyone.  No favorites, no free lunches, and no exceptions.”  We understand that Steve has been using our Temporary Platform as a source of position statements.  We could certainly use Steve in Congress, so if you’d like to contribute to his campaign, write to him at Rout 6, Caldwell, Idaho 83605.

Guy W. Riggs has announced for a seat in the New York State Assembly (99th District), as a Libertarian-Independent candidate. an executive with IBM, Guy asks “What would I do for you as you Assemblyman?” and answers by saying “Absolutely nothing!” Beautiful!  His material states that he is “not for civil or economic liberty, not human or property rights, but for the unalienable right of every human being to his or her liberty and property.”  New York libertarians certainly have someone to work for this year — and aid from non-New-Yorkers would be welcomed.  guy’s address is PO Box 1776, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. 12601.
