Amherst Common Noon-5
Your State Committee will be there weather permitting. (Though not if there is substantial rain.) We will have a tent, OPH materials, handouts, and could use help to spread our Libertarian message. Please contact George Phillies phillies@4liberty.net if interested.
Van's Warped Tour
Van's Warped Tour is a musical event that passes through Massachusetts every year. The offer a location for a large-scale OPH effort. If we get a table as planned, we will get two free wristbands, but we will need additional volunteers who, alas, will need to buy admission - there is some possibility of State Committee reimbursement.
The message I have on this from Jeff Orrock of Colorado reads:
Hello everyone!
The Van's Warped Tour Pre-Sale has begun. They say that pre-sale ticket prices are $15 off the regular price. I'm not sure if there is a standard price for all cities, but for Denver, the pre-sale is $20.24 + $8.75 per ticket, and then there is shipping. Keep in mind that as a non-profit, you will get two free wristbands, but to make the most of the event, you will want a team of around 6 to 8 activists.
Pre-Sale sells out fast, so don't delay!!! The calendar and pre-sale info is available at http://warpedtourtickets.music... Note that it says you have to register with their fan community. Don't worry, they send only a few emails in an entire year.
New State PAC
Following a discussion with the Office of Campaign and political Finance, we have made a change in our state PAC arrangements. It seems that there is no legal path to renaming our State PAC; we will spend its contents to zero and it will vanish. Instead, at the recommendation of the OCPF, we have adopted the Liberty Tree Small Government Low Taxes Political Action Committee as our own, and future non-Federal donations will be placed in its account. We will then have a State PAC and a Federal PAC as planned.
Cloud on CD
Long-time member Michael Cloud's famous Libertarian lectures The Essence of Political Persuasion are now on CD. LPTN Vice Chair Charles Wilhoit recommends them as the most valuable tool every new TN county chair should examine.
The supplier is the Advocates for Self-Government 800-932-1776 info@TheAdvocates.org. I picked up a copy at the NHLA symposium; the disks are so new that I did not find price or shipping information on The Advocates web site.
