This appeal on behalf of a defense fund for Buggs Bar Defense fund is everyone’s fight who cherishes and believes in the rights of individuals and hopes to protect the thousands of jobs that are being lost in the hospitality industry. The Minnesota Health Department has been trying to threaten and bully Buggs Bar into signing an agreement that they will cease running these theatre nights during which actors are allowed to smoke.

Buggs Bar has retained Patrick O’Neill Jr. as their attorney. This is an expensive fight and the Tavern League and BPAM have agreed to assist in raising funds. Some of you have already received this appeal, but many others have said they didn’t receive the original request. Donations have come from some of you already and the people at forces have been invaluable as their members from thousands of miles away have sent checks. Many of these checks have come from non-smokers who ask “Where and when will this abuse of government power stop?”

We are asking that you do one of two things or both if you are in the hospitality business.
1. Send checks made out to the Tavern League to my attention. Note on the check that it is
for the Buggs Bar Defense Fund. No check is too small. We have received checks for as
little as $5 and as much as $100. If you have friends, relatives, suppliers, and employees
who feel strongly with you on this issue, ask if they wish to contribute.
2. Show up at Buggs Bar and show your support 6:00 June 14th, 2008

100% of your donations will be sent to the defense fund! As a great American once said, “Surely we will hang together or we will all hang individually”! I have discussed this with Mike Warring the President of the Bowling Proprietors who is a non-smoker like myself. We agree this fight concerns every man and woman who cares about individual freedom and property rights!
