Rock the Debates has been fighting to persuade the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates to agree to at least one general election presidential debate that includes presidential candidates who could theoretically win the election. See www.rockthedebates.org. The group’s activists hold a conference call approximately twice a month. The group is seeking to expand, and particularly wants to have an official representative of the Constitution and Green presidential campaigns. Contact Bob Sullentrup at rwsully@charter.net, or 636-946-3227, if you want to be part of Rock the Debates.

Vince Miller died on June 28, 2008. He was 69. He had founded the Libertarian International in 1980. In 1989 it had been merged with the Society for Individual Liberty, to create the International Society for Individual Liberty. It held annual conferences in sites all over the world. See this obituary by Eric Garris. His death is shocking, since he had attended the Libertarian national convention just a month before he died.
