LP Monday Message: Order Declarations Today!

Monday, June 27th, 2011

From a message posted on the LP Blog on Jun 27, 2011:

Dear Friend of Liberty,

Please order high-quality glossy color copies of the Declaration of Independence for just 5 cents each today. (Minimum donation required.)

We need your order ASAP so we can get them to you by Saturday at the latest. Independence Day is next Monday!

These Declarations are perfect to hand out at neighborhood picnics, parades, and especially at Fourth of July fireworks celebrations where people are sitting around for an hour waiting for it to get dark.

Our Declarations are real easy to hand out. One person can hand out 500 in big crowds in about two hours. As I’m offering one, I just say, “Hi, would you like a free copy of the Declaration of Independence?”

You’ll be amazed how many people actually thank you for doing this. People will run after you and ask for extra copies.

The back of the flyer says, “This copy of the Declaration of Independence has been provided as a public service by the Libertarian Party.” Then it has our website (LP.org) and our phone number.

Recently we mailed a letter with a sample of the Declaration flyer to most of our current dues-paying members. It’s getting a little late to send that order form by mail, so please order online or call us at 202-333-0008 to order by phone right now. Allow 3 days for delivery.

We’ve posted a downloadable version of the Declaration of Independence you can print on your own. However, you can save time and money, and have much higher quality, and far more durable copies, if you order them from us. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that the high-quality glossy copies we’ll mail to you are ten times more durable than home-printed versions, which is especially important for handing out on a hot humid day!

Again, you can get up to 20 copies per dollar you donate, but you don’t have to ask for that many. I hope many of you will order less (or donate extra), so we can use the extra money to help cover the cost of packing and shipping all these Declarations of Independence around the country. So, if you donate , you can get up to 1,000 Declarations of Independence — but you may actually want fewer, such as only 200 copies (or even just 10).

To order, please type “Declarations” and specify the quantity you want in the Comment box at the bottom of our membership or contribution page. If you don’t clearly specify a quantity, I’ll only ship one Declaration per dollar. If you don’t type “Declarations” or clearly indicate that you want the flyers, then I won’t ship any.

Also put your shipping address in the Comment box if it’s different from the address you entered above.

Example 1:

Comment (optional):
Declarations 100

Example 2:

Comment (optional):
Declarations 500
ship to:
100 Main St
Los Angeles, CA 90101

Thanks for helping to advertise the Libertarian Party by donating and getting up to 20 Declarations per dollar. (Minimum donation required.)

The Fourth of July is just a few days away! Donate and order your Declarations today!

Sincerely,

Wes Benedict
Executive Director
Libertarian National Committee

P.S. If you have not already done so, please join the Libertarian Party. We are the only political party dedicated to free markets, civil liberties, and peace. You can also renew your membership. Or, you can make a contribution separate from membership.

D.C. Board of Elections Interprets Vote Retention Law Liberally in order to Avoid Disqualifying Republican Party

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Ballot Access News (excerpt):

The District of Columbia defines a party as a group that polled as much as 7,500 votes in the last election, for the offices that do count. When it became apparent that no Republican had polled as many as 7,500 votes this year for an office that counts toward the vote test, it seemed that the party had lost its qualified status.

However, the D.C. Board of Elections has now interpreted the law to mean that a party that meets the vote test for its presidential nominee is then immune from having to meet the vote test in the following midterm year. The law itself is worded ambiguously. It says, “The nomination and election of any individual to the office of Delegate, Mayor, Chairman of the Council and member of the Council shall be governed by the provisions of this subchapter. No political party shall be qualified to hold a primary election to select candidates for election to any such office in a general election unless, in the next preceding election year, at least 7,500 votes were cast in the general election for a candidate of such party for any such office or for its candidates for electors of President and Vice President.”
