Hey guys,
I've got a suggestion, if Jawj can spare the time. There's a JSA
state convention happening today in Santa Clara where the LP will be
doing outreach. These happen a couple times a year; for those who are
unfamiliar, JSA is a high school debate society. Hundreds of students
attend these conventions where they hold debates on different topics,
etc., and they always have a room where political parties and other
groups are invited to set up informational tables.
I've helped do outreach at these events numerous times, and they are
some of the best outreach opportunities we have, imho, because these
tend to be kids who are more knowledgeable and interested in politics
than the average high schooler, and this is the perfect age at which
to connect with them.
Anyway, I think the cats would be a big hit at the Libertarian table
there, and could help highlight the LP's focus on voluntary, non-
government initiative as a way of addressing social problems (such as
getting cats adopted so they aren't killed or allowed to go feral).
The event goes from 2-5pm (roughly the time Aubrey mentioned for
tabling in the Castro), and then people typically go out for dinner
afterward. Lawrence Samuel of the Monterey LP has been coordinating
and bringing literature and stuff to this for years, and always
welcomes extra people coming to help staff the table. So I'd like to
go, if there's someone driving; I think it would be excellent if all
three of us went (or more, if anyone else is interested). If you can
drive, give me a call (not email), since I'll be sleeping in otherwise

Love & Liberty,
