==LP GROUPS TO RECRUIT AT STATE FAIRS==
In many areas, the annual event of the summer is the State or County Fair, where thousands or even millions of people come to see exhibits set up by various organizations. And this opportunity to reach people, by having an LP booth, is being taken advantage of by several LP groups -- notably the [[Libertarian Party of Oklahoma|Oklahoma]] and [[Alaska Libertarian Party|Alaska]] Parties, and the [[Libertarian Party of New York|FLP]] group in Poughkeepsie, NY. If you are interested in undertaking a Fair project, contact [[Libertarian Party of Oklahoma|Oklahoma LP]] (Box 25517, Okla. City OK 73129) for tips, and see page 32 of the [[Political Action Manual]].
==CALIFORNIA LIBERTARIANS PICKET EVICTION TRIAL==
A group of [[Libertarian Party of California|California LP]] members, led by [[David Merrick]] of Monterey, recently received media cover age by picketing a trial where the gov't is seeking to evict an elderly couple who don't want to give up their home to urban renewal planners. Not only have Merrick and Co. succeeded in getting the trial moved once, by influencing public opinion against the bureaucrats, but they have conveyed to the public the fact that the LP stands for true humanitarian ideals, and that the gov't is the violator of human rights.
