[Lnc-business] ran out of time this year - Fwd: 20,000 shipped; order Declaration of Independence today

Thu Jun 23 19:08:21 EDT 2016

I had hoped to repeat this project, but just had too many things keep 
popping up keeping me from getting to it this year. Have 20,000 ready to 
ship, but not enough time left to prep the email, pack, and ship on 
time.  Maybe next year.

Final reminder. We've shipped over 20,000 copies of the Declaration of 
Independence. If you plan to order, please order today 
<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=59142716&msgid=512708&act=41BX&c=1115108&destination=http%3A%2F%2Flpstore.org%2Fdeclaration-of-independence%2F> 
so we can be sure to get your copies to you in time for the Fourth of July.

Dear 
Libertarian,<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=59142716&msgid=512708&act=41BX&c=1115108&destination=http%3A%2F%2Flpstore.org%2Fdeclaration-of-independence%2F>

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 
<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=59142716&msgid=512708&act=41BX&c=1115108&destination=http%3A%2F%2Flpstore.org%2Fdeclaration-of-independence%2F>, 
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 
<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=59142716&msgid=512708&act=41BX&c=1115108&destination=http%3A%2F%2Flpstore.org%2Fdeclaration-of-independence%2F>, 
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.benedict at lp.org) a 
link to the event.

Please order 100, 500, 1,000, or even more today. 
<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=59142716&msgid=512708&act=41BX&c=1115108&destination=http%3A%2F%2Flpstore.org%2Fdeclaration-of-independence%2F> 
Again, if you order 500 or more, we'll include a free drawstring backpack.

Wes Benedict, Executive Director
