>Social Security Privatization Back in the Spotlight
>---------------------------------------------------
><http://www.free-market.net/features/spotlight/9712.html>
>
>You free-market.com veterans might remember that our first
>Policy Spotlight back in January of this year was on
>the fight for Social Security privatization. Since then,
>a lot has happened, and things are still rolling fast.
>
>Just this week, The Cato Institute and The Economist
>are co-sponsoring a conference in London on "Solving
>the Global Pension Crisis." Last week, the Oregon proposal
>for "opting-out" of federal Social Security -- developed
>by The Cascade Policy Institute and Jose Pinera -- was
>addressed at the American Legislative Exchange Council's
>December conference. (ALEC is a national group of
>conservative state legislators.)
>
>As Jerry Tuccille writes in his Media Spotlight column,
>"That Social Security is financially unsound is now
>a matter of common wisdom in news stories about entitlements
>and budgetary issues.... even the most unreconstructed
>New Deal idolaters among the ranks of the Fourth Estate
>admit that they hope the system is still under warranty."
>
>Privatization has become a reality, or a real possibility,
>all around the world. Many free-marketeers believe that this
>is the most significant opportunity we have had in years,
>and it is crucial that we take advantage of it. If you doubt
>the significance of the issue, remember this: in the U.S.,
>we are talking about one-fifth of the federal government's
>current spending.
>
>If you'd like a quick overview and update on the situation --
>or if you want a starting point for in-depth research --
>come visit the December Policy Spotlight. As always,
>you'll find:
>
> * A concise introduction.
>
> * Media Spotlight on the mainstream coverage.
>
> * Annotated links to all the important sources
> of online information (with special attention
> to what our free-market allies have to offer).
>
> * Open forum for discussion and debate.
>

>Free Drawing for Reason Magazine Holiday Prize Packages
>-------------------------------------------------------
><http://www.free-market.net/features/lottery/>
>
>As many of you know, Reason Magazine is the undisputed
>champion of libertarian periodicals. T.J. Rodgers,
>the very-cool, anti-PC, CEO and president of Cypress
>Semiconductor wrote that, "Reason is my favorite and only
>periodical on political and current events. It pierces
>through the non-rational dogma of both the Left and the Right
>to provide insight based on fact and reason. A must read."
>
>This month, our friends at Reason are offering three
>Free-Market.Net readers a special Holiday Gift Package.
>The randomly-chosen grand prize winner will receive:
>
> * One-year, 11-issue, subscription to Reason --
> a $19.95 value.
>
> * Reason Magazine coffee mug -- not available for sale.
>
> * Autographed copy of "Free Minds and Free Markets,"
> edited by Virginia Postrel and Robert W. Poole, Jr.
> This anthology of classic articles from Reason's first
> 25 years includes contributions from Milton Friedman,
> Charles Murray, George Gilder, and many others.
> Hardcover, 377 pages, retails for $24.95. Virginia
> Postrel and Bob Poole will both be autographing
> your copy, making it, of course, priceless.
>
>Two runners-up will receive a one-year subscription. If any
>of the winners already have subscriptions, they will be extended.
>
>Stop by the FMN Web site to register for your chance to win:
><http://www.free-market.net/features/lottery/>
>
>It's free, and without obligation. (We're just trying to get
>your attention!)

>Winner of November "It Usually Begins with Ayn Rand" Drawing
>------------------------------------------------------------
><http://www.free-market.net/features/lottery/past.html>
>
>Last month's free give-away of an autographed copy of Jerome
>Tuccille's libertarian odyssey "It Usually Begins with Ayn Rand"
>was won by Michael Nichols, a computer consultant in New York.
>
>Laissez Faire Books is selling copies of this 25th anniversary
>edition for $12.95. A nice gift for all the libertarians
>on your holiday shopping list (like me, for example).

>Free-Market.Net Enlists New Partner Organizations
>-------------------------------------------------
><http://www.free-market.net/partners/>
>
>Over the past few days, our network has added three
>valuable new partners. The Cato Institute, the Mackinac
>Center for Public Policy, and American Liberty Publishers
>have all signed on with Free-Market.Net. They join Reason
>Magazine, Laissez Faire Books, Gold & Silver Reserve, Inc.,
>and the Libertarian Party of Minnesota.
>
>Partners are the organizational equivalent of FMN's members.
>As with members, we help partners take full advantage of the
>Internet by offering them tools that would be impossible
>or prohibitively expensive to do independently. We help them
>effectively mine the Internet's resources, and maximize
>the exposure that their own resources receive. We assist
>our partners in networking with you, and in reaching out
>to a wider audience.
>
>And like members, partners help cover the costs of running
>Free-Market.Net. They contribute to making libertarian ideas
>more accessible and inviting through our directory, search
>engines, features, forums, and special programs.
>
>Partners and members are essential to Free-Market.Net's
>success, like solid support in a squishy sea of political
>arrogance, animosity, ignorance, and apathy. Would we jump ship
>if we didn't get your support? Would we go into something more
>profitable, like, say, distributing videotapes of Pamela Anderson
>and Tommy Lee? Probably not. We love what we do. But it is only
>with your help that we have a real impact on the future.
>Without members and partners, we would be a lonely rowboat,
>instead of an aircraft carrier.
>
>If you are not already a member, I hope you will consider joining.
>And if you operate an organization that contributes to freedom,
>I hope we can discuss enlisting you as a partner.
