Final reminder.
We've shipped over 20,000 copies of the
Declaration of Independence. If you plan
to order, please order
today so
we can be sure to get your copies to you
in time for the Fourth of July.
Dear Libertarian,
Here's a way to promote Libertarianism AND get
very positive feedback from the public.
Keep reading to learn how to join me and
Libertarians nationwide this July 4th to
promote freedom in your city or neighborhood.
I doubt you can find another outreach activity
that will give you as much immediate positive
feedback as handing out free copies of the
Declaration of Independence at neighborhood
parades and fireworks shows on Independence
Day.
People love it.
When you say "Hi, would you like a free copy
of the Declaration of Independence?" almost
everyone will smile, take the copy, and say
"Thank you!"
In fact, people often run up to me after I've
given them one and ask me for more copies!
One person can hand out 500 in a big crowd in
about two hours. If you order
500, we'll include a free Libertarian
drawstring backpack to help you carry them.

We've posted a downloadable version of the
Declaration of Independence that you can print
on your own. However, you can save time and
money, and get good-looking durable copies, if
you order them from us. I'm not exaggerating
when I say that the high-quality full-color
glossy copies we'll send you are ten times
more durable than home-printed copies, which
is especially important for handing out on a
hot, humid day!
Handing out Declarations is a tradition
started by Libertarians in Travis County,
Texas in 2004.
From past reports: "[we] handed out 1,500 in
Austin between 7:00 and 8:30 PM at the
Auditorium Shores park where people gathered
for the fireworks show. Most people we handed
these to were sitting on chairs or blankets
waiting for the fireworks to start and in
general seemed quite eager to take a copy...."
"I handed out 150+ at San Marcos Plaza Park,
by walking the grounds waiting for the
fireworks to start. I asked if I could give
them a 4th of July gift and only one person
said no. By having the privilege of presenting
the Declaration I also made two contacts to
come and speak to their group."
The back of the sheet says, "This
transcription of the Declaration of
Independence has been provided as a public
service by the Libertarian Party. www.LP.org".
I've distributed these Declarations several
times myself, including in 2013 in Baton
Rouge, Louisiana. People loved it there, as
they seem to everywhere. That's why I say this
is probably my favorite Libertarian activism.
We're
providing these glossy, high-quality sheets
for 5 cents each, even though they cost
us more than that. We want to get these
Declarations to as many willing volunteers as
possible.
I also suggest setting up events on Facebook
or Meetup to recruit volunteers to help you.
If you do that, send me (wes.be...@lp.org)
a link to the event.
Please
order 100, 500, 1,000, or even more today.
Again, if you order 500 or more, we'll include
a free drawstring backpack.
