Outreach: Coalitions, Booths, Drop-Offs and Polls...

We're involved in community coalitions for long term change such as the Election Reform Coalition.

Can you help? It can be as simple as being a "Walking Booth" never going out without a few materials and handing them out to folks you meet. We are seeking personable people to help staff or financially support booths or attend public events, hand out literature,  network, and sign up interested persons. Booths are of two types, and done in collaboration with other Libertarian groups. One is general outreach booths at events where we seek names of interested persons, petition signers and people to register Libertarian, generally using OPH booth formats. The other is seeking people interested in further Libertarian information at local polls on election day (which may not involve a booth at all, but being seated clipboard and literature at hand)... OR you can hand out info sheets monthly at drop-off at local businesses, laundromats, karate do-jo's, health food stores...Tools for this include the Pinellas Libertarian Club flyer, a Sign Up sheet (please return to LPPC), and an 'I Love Libertarians" sheet you can attach to cardbord if you have no sign Also, OPH materials may be ordered from the Advocates, and we encourage plenty of Libertarian Viewpoints (which can be ordered with other outreach items from the LP USA), also FREE OPH Nolan  sheets courtesy of the Lib Club with local contact address ( or order in bulk) and ISIL brochures. Please contact us at 727-347-2879 for further information and give your name as part of the Booth/Drop-Off Team!

Outreach: Be Heard Project...
Frank Clarke, a world expert on the REX computer system deeply interested in our civil liberties, facilitates Letters to the Editor (LTE's), Media, and letters or contacts with government officials with these tips: ALWAYS mention Libertarianism, be short, polite and factual. Take on one issue at a time, and realize that it takes several letters to get published. Don't neglect local gazettes such as the Gabber, and radio call in shows. Aim to do something once a month.  To get started, check out  our Home page section "Write to the Media!"  Check out our Manual using published letters, and you can share your letter with the Pinellas Libertarian Club   also. Write LTE to St. Pete Times, Pinellas News, Weekly Planet, Gabber, Florida Trend, also Tampa Tribune , Tampa Sentinel , Tampa/Gulf Coast Review and Tampa Business Journal. Also Other media Links and Write the Government.

 Outreach: Contact and Speakers Project...
Julie Chorgo with Libertarian Citizen is looking for people interested in developing activism by doing long-term phone contact, hosting coffees in their homes for non-Libertarian friends, and being resource people in their District seeing to drop-offs of materials, answering questions, etc. She will also help photograph your Libertarian event. In addition, she asks for speakers to High Schools, Colleges, and groups.. For tools see Booths, above. Please contact her via the LPPC Chair at 727-344-1038.

There is a general and Pinellas action group. LPPC endorses voting alternatives such as proportional representation and IRV that better represent and educate public opinion.
