LP Joins Louisville Parade @ Stanley for Senate

From the Libertarian News from Around the State
section of the September/October issue of Colorado Liberty

Libertarian candidates and other activists joined Louisville's Labor Day Parade. Rick Stanley, candidate for U.S. Senate, handed out flyers wearing a trademark Hawaiian shirt. Ron Bain, who is running for Boulder's city council, joined his neighbors for the event. Lady Liberty stood tall as a reminder of freedom. Other participants included Elizabeth Bennett, Audrey and Ken Bray, Dave Bryant, Craig Johnson and family, Joe Johnson, Michelle Konieczny and daughters, Eva Kosinski, John Larkin, Tony Middleton, Tom Parker (who provided the photographs), Dariush Rusta and friend, BetteRose Smith, Rick Stanley, Jerry Van Sickle, Bruce Waters, Greg Woods, and Chuck Wright.

Earlier in the summer, the Boulder Libertarians participated in the Lafayette 5k run/walk. John Pooch said, "What still surprises me is that most people I approach are supportive and actually accept and read the literature offered, especially when they see 'Lady Liberty' marching with us. Of course, I can't help comparing it to the Ghostbusters movie in which the Statue of Liberty is guided through the streets by cheering crowds to help save the world from would-be tyrants. I encourage any new LP members to participate in similar events to experience this for themselves."
