Right column:

In 1984, Representative Andre Marrou became the third Libertarian
elected to the Alaska State Legislature.  During his term he was, in
the words of Republican Minority Leader Terry Martin, "the conscience
of the Legislature."

Representative Marrou was in the news almost daily.  De was widely
acknowledged to have received even more media attention than Alaska's
governor.

Marrou voted against every increase of government power.  He was
instrumental in the drive to repeal the Alaska state income tax.  He
later co-sponsored and spearheaded a successful initiative to
deregulate the transportation industry.

In 1988, Marrou was nominated as Congressman Ron Paul's running mate
on the Libertarian presidential ticket.  He worked tirelessly,
campaigning in all 50 states and conducting well over 1,000
television, radio, and newspaper interviews.

The most frustrating aspect of the 1988 race was the back-breaking
effort required to gain access to the ballot in all 50 states plus the
District of Columbia.  In the end, nearly half a million dollars was
spent on the effort, but ballot status was achieved in only 46 states
plus D. C.

In response to this, Representative Marrou spent most of the next
four years as Director of PROJECT 51-'92 working to ease ballot access
laws across the country.  Under his leadership, PROJECT 51-'92 also
conducted signature drives in states with particularly difficult
requirements such as North Carolina. 

Before entering politics full-time, Representative Marrou worked as an
engineering manager in Boston and as a small businessman in Alaska,
operating a food and liquor distributorship as well as a real estate
brokerage.  He has also worked from time to time as a radio
personality.  He was an active volunteer in civilian rescue
operations in Alaska.

Representative Marrou and his running mate, Dr. Nancy Lord, will be
joined on the ballot in 1992 by up to 500 federal, state, and local
Libertarian candidates.

Right column:

Dr. Nancy Lord's varied background in medicine, law, and business
makes her uniquely qualified to address America's problems.  She
understands the health care and legal systems, and she has to meet a
payroll.

Most Republican and Democratic candidates pride themselves on their
knowledge of the rough and tumble world of pork barrel politics.  Dr.
Lord points to her own intimate involvement with the real problems
that most concern the average American.  She offers a clear choice
between the "Main Street" concerns of the people and the
preoccupations of the Washington, D.C. "Beltway Insiders."  Her real
world orientation is coupled with educational credentials that can be
matched by few candidates in this or any other year.

Dr. Lord's political involvement began during the anti-war and civil
rights movements of the Sixties.  (Allison Krause, a childhood friend,
was one of the victims killed at Kent State University.)

The Seventies and Eighties led to her disenchantment with liberal
economic policies.  She became one of a number of intellectuals to
understand the central importance of the free market to social well
being.  Only one political party seemed to her to combind a respect
for both the free market and traditional civil rights; that was the
Libertarian Party.

At the same time she also witnessed the deterioration of her home
town, Washington, D.C.  To her, the clumsy hand of government was the
all-too-evident cause of this tragedy.  The Libertarian program of
limited government seemed the only possible antidote.  To promote this
solution she ran for Mayor of the District of Columbia in 1990.  Her
campaign was marked by strong, eloquent policy proposals.  The Washing
Times was moved to comment that "her ideas have the benefit of
specificity and tremendous common sense."

Dr. Lord's achievements, experience, and dedication led to her
nomination as the Libertarian Party's vice-presidential candidate on
September 1, 1991.  She shares the goal of her running mate,
Representative Andre Marrou, to provide Americans with a responsible
alternative to the failed policies of the old parties.

Dr. Lord and Representative Marrou will be joined on the ballot in
1992 by up to 500 federal, state, and local Libertarian candidates.
