  5. Ingham County Gun and Knife Show by Mike Brinkman

    OPH Opportunity:

    WE NEED YOUR HELP! The Libertarian Party of Mid-Michigan will be conducting an Operation Politically Homeless Booth at the September 24-26 Gun and Knife Show at the Ingham County Fair Grounds in Mason.

    Operation Politically Homeless offers us an excellent opportunity to get the Libertarian message out and find new members. Even more so at gun shows, where people tend to have stronger Libertarian leanings.

    In exchange for working at the OPH Booth, you'll get free admission to the show. Here are the dates and times of the Gun Show. If you're a student and would like to work at the show, we can arrange for you to get a ride to and from the Fair Grounds.

    Fri, Sept. 24: 2 PM to 8 PM
    Sat, Sept. 25: 9 AM to 5 PM
    Sun, Sept. 26: 9 AM to 4 PM
    

    If you are available to work any one of these dates (2 or more hours preferred), please contact us as soon as possible. To volunteer or get answers to any questions you have, please either send e-mail to Mike Brinkman at brinkman@tcimet.net, or else call Michael Miller at 351-0514.

    Peace, Liberty & Prosperity,
    Mike Brinkman

  7. OPH a Huge Success in Shiawassee County by Ben Steele III

    The Libertarian Party of Shiawassee County ran an Operation Politically Homeless booth at the Shiawassee County Fair in August. Response was tremendous! The LPSC gathered 81 names and passed out thousands of pieces of literature.

    Two-hundred ten people took the World's Smallest Political Quiz, with 79 of them (38%) scoring Libertarian!

    The areas where Shiawassee County residents agreed most were: Ending taxes; Protecting free speech; Free trade; and Establishing a non-interventionist foreign policy.

    The LPSC would like to thank everyone who played a role in making this outreach effort possible, and successful.
