Learn
Guerilla Activism at the May LP DeKalb Meeting
Tucker, GA (May 28th, 2003) -
When:
Wednesday, May 28 -- gather by 7 p.m., meeting to begin
at 7:30
Where: The
Old Hickory House 2202
Northlake Parkway Tucker, GA 30084 770-939-8621
**
Speaker:
Philip Bradley,
Chair of the LP of Clayton County and member of the very
active Southern Crescent Team. A gifted speaker, Philip
will speak on the topic of "Guerilla Activism."
Background:
The Clayton LP and Southern Crescent Team spearheaded the
"Fran Walker Project" in Forest Park, where city
law made it mandatory that all rental properties be inspected.
More and more cities are passing ordinances that require
owners of rental properties and rental communities to waive
their 4th amendment protections and grant city inspectors
access to their properties -- all without a warrant or probable
cause. Forest Park was even prosecuting landlords until
the local LP persuaded them to change their ways. One man
paid over $1100 in fines. Fran Walker paid thousands of
dollars in attorney fees before the Clayton Libertarian
Party came on the scene -- and got the law overturned.
Before
the Fran Walker Project, the southside fielded four (yes,
4) candidates in the fall elections. Although none of them
won their races, all did respectably at the polls -- this
despite the uphill battle of petitioning to get on the ballot
in the first place. The Southern Crescent Team is getting
their names and faces in front of their constituents and
their success with and for Fran Walker shows it.
The
Clayton LP and Southern Crescent Team made a difference
in their little part of the world ... and we can, too. Philip
wants to show us how ... so come get energized!

We encourage you to come early and buy dinner at the
Old Hickory House -- they offer pork, chicken and beef,
as well as a variety of vegetables, all reasonably priced.
Tucker
Day 2003 outreach
Tucker, GA (May 10th, 2003)
- The LP of DeKalb will again have a Operational Politically
Homeless outreach booth at the annual Tucker Day community
celebration. This year's event is held Saturday May 10th.
LPDC needs booth volunteers and donations to pay for the
booth rental and literature. Please contact a LPDC officer
to volunteer either. OPH booths were invented by the Advocates
for Self-Government and are a great way to find new libertarians
and start non-libertarians on the path towards discovery
of the blessings of true, consistent liberty in all public
policy. The Tucker Day celebration is held on Tucker's Main
Street, has approximately 18,000 attendees, and runs from
9am to 5pm.
