- LP of Oakland County in Clawson Parade
Oakland County Libertarians returned to Clawson on July
5 to once again participate in the Clawson Independence Day
Parade. Three flag bearers lead the Libertarian contingent,
followed by Katherine Fisher, Barb Goushaw, and Mychelle
Holland performing choreographed driving in their cars. The
remainder of the group, walked along side, handing out
balloons, copies of the Declaration of Independence, million
dollar bills, Libertarian smoker cards and matches.
Greg Dirasian reports that one woman came up to him,
took a copy of the Declaration of Independence, and said,
"This is my year to become a Libertarian."
Katherine Fisher encountered somebody a few days later
who recognized her from the parade. This prompted her to
put an advertisement together for the LP of Oakland County
to run in the Clawson Mirror (the ad ran on July 15, 1999).
If you don't receive the Clawson Mirror, but we like to see
a copy of the ad, it is available on the LPOC web site at:
http://www.bignet.net/~gkd/ad.html
The LPOC is also willing to make the ad available in Word97
format to anybody who would like to use something similar.
Contact us if you would like a copy.
The LPOC would like to thank everybody who participated
in the parade: Anne & Gary Bora, Greg Dirasian, Katherine
Fisher, Barbara Goushaw, Bruce Hoepner, Mychelle Holland,
Erik Lessien, Rosemary Racchi, Bob Schubring, Jeannie &
Lloyd Sherman, Lorna Tate, Al Titran, John Ward.

- Oakland County Strategy
Did you think the stories about political strategy
planning sessions taking place in smoke-filled rooms were
just stories? No, they are not. On June 26, 1999, Oakland
County Libertarians met in what quickly became a
smoke-filled room. The day was spent laying out strategy
for the 2000 election. The plan itself is still being
written for presentation to the membership, but will be
ready at the next meeting. Please join us at our upcoming
general membership meeting for the official presentation.
July 28, 1999 at Red, Hot & Blue (on the west side of
Southfield Rd, just north of 12 Mile Rd). Meet for dinner
at 6:30PM, meeting starts at 7:30PM. Please note that the
location has changed!
