About the newsletter
The LP WIre is published monthly on line the first Sunday of the month. If the first Sunday of the
month falls on the first, The LP WIre is published on the second Sunday. The newsletter may
choose to publish less than 12 times a year.
The byline of the newsletter is “News and Views of the Wisconsin Libertarian Party.”
It is the purpose of the LP WIre to show the best face of the Wisconsin Libertarian Party to the
world. The newsletter is owned by the state party, as such it may choose what news and
messages to report. It has no obligation to provide messages counter to the party’s aims.
The newsletter’s goal is to provide members and interested persons with:
1) news about the state party
2) news of upcoming events and reports of past events
3) articles about all things relevant to the Libertarian Party
4) articles about our party’s candidates
5) articles about the “Libertarian Lifestyle”
6) articles where members may discuss their feelings or opinions as they are pertinent to the
party
All articles submitted are subject to editing for size, clarity, content, spelling, and grammar. 400
Words or less is the usual requested size for articles. Larger articles may be accepted.
Articles that are divisive, are hate speech, or that cover intraparty conflict in a way insulting or
negative to the party, will not be allowed.
It is the opinion of the current editor that conversion stories, “how I became a libertarian,” are
universally boring. Please do not send them in. Also that any newsletter longer than 5 printed
pages will not be completely read. If people are going to read anything it will be the “From the
chair” piece that leads the newsletter off.
Articles from non-party members may be accepted however they must be pertinent to the party.
Articles concerning the National Libertarian Party are not allowed unless labeled or qualified as
opinion pieces by the author.
The newsletter is not the official voice of the state party. The editor of the newsletter has been
authorized by the Executive Committee of the state party to report on the news and views of the
state party in a positive way.
