We know! --- We're several months late and you probably thought we forgot all about you!

Not so. Since our last newsletter, many events have occurred that regrettably put us in the position of having to delay the publication of our party newsletter, the Freedom Flyer. We've been involved in so many projects and political efforts that, admittedly, we over-extended our resources. While we accomplished tremendous results, our communication with members and supporters suffered as a consequence.

But all that's about to change. Freedom Party is now heading in new directions, and our members and supporters will become the most critical element of our improved approach to marketing freedom of choice. For starters, we are currently producing three issues of Freedom Flyer so that our newsletter can be sent out with more regularity so as to enable you to be informed of our activities as they happen --- not only after they've happened.

And much has happened.

Since our last newsletter, Freedom Party has participated in a municipal election, launched a province-wide anti-censorship campaign, activated its campus club at the University of Western Ontario, sponsored speakers, discussion groups, and audio-visual presentations, and much much more.

Naturally, this description of our activities is much over-simplified. For example, in saying that we've launched an anti-censorship campaign, remember what this actually entails: it entails the research, writing, editing, typesetting and layout of the campaign's accompanying newsletter. It entails the work of many volunteers and participants in the distribution of that newsletter. It means raising money to help pay for printing and distribution. It means setting up computer programs and files to administer the campaign and subscriber lists. It means calling retailers to help us distribute our publication in their communities. And the list goes on.

And that's just one campaign.

As you can see, we've been busy --- so busy in fact, that there simply isn't enough room in this issue of Freedom Flyer to account for all our activities, but you'll be updated over the next few issues.

But Freedom Flyer won't be the only way we'll be communicating with you in the future. You can expect to receive frequent separate mailings outlining current campaign objectives, and we'll be phoning many of you for your input and reaction to our campaigns.

Most importantly, this increased emphasis on communicating with our supporters and members will not come at the expense of our on-going campaigns --- it will become an integral part of those campaigns.

What all this means, of course, is that we'll be counting on your continued support. It should go without saying --- but I'll mention it anyway --- that no matter how hard our core group of Freedom Party activists work, without your continued financial and volunteer support, our efforts will be shortchanged. I have no hesitation in letting you all know how hard our current activists and supporters are working. It never ceases to amaze me how much can be accomplished by the very few who have the will and drive to got the job done. And those few have been steadily growing in numbers.

So if you're really serious about wanting to see a new political choice created in Ontario, you know what to do. Leaving the task to be accomplished by others simply won't do the trick.

Help us accomplish even more. Get involved with Freedom Party today!
