Emailed to contact.ipr@gmail.com last week. Posted by Paulie after reminder by candidate in IPR comments earlier today.
(1) Yesterday, I addressed two consecutive classes at Wharton County Junior College. I was there as a representative of the LP, not as a gubernatorial candidate, but the professor mentioned the campaign.
The first class heard “Respecting the Rights of Individuals”, a general introduction to Libertarianism. The second heard, “The Financial Crisis: Made In Washington”. Even in the first class, however, there was discussion of the current economic meltdown.
The good news cited above is: the alleged consensus the media are claiming has developed in favor of less Liberty and a runaway Federal Government is not as unanimous as they want us to believe. In both classes, students were receptive to the fact that our troubles have been caused by Government interference in the market, especially the housing and banking fields. Several students signed up for more info, and one volunteered for my campaign.
So: the potential for more recruits and more votes is out there. We need to take advantage of it.
I’ll do what I can:
(2) I’ll be on internet radio next week (same station as carries Michael’s show), and
(3) addressing yet another college class on April 13th (Jefferson’s birthday, and just two days before Tax Day).
I hope everyone else will also take heart, and reach out to our fellow Texans with our message of Liberty, of opportunity … and of hope.
Please do what you can to help me as I take this message, and my campaign, across Texas. Please urge your friends to visit my website. Please use the “Contact” page there to volunteer your services.
Also, please donate as much as you can financially. You can do that via the “Donate” page at www.JeffDaiell.com
, or you can send a contribution by mail (let me know if you want to be sent a stamped, pre-addressed envelope – call 713-777-1776 between 8 am and 10 PM any day of the week). Every dollar contributed now will help even more than one donated later, although, of course, a contribution is welcome at any point in the campaign!
For Texas and Liberty,

Does anybody have an outline, a how to of talking to high school classes?
I’ve recently been asked to speak at two high schools, one for four classes.
I’ve never done a “prepared” class presentation, to last an entire period (approx 43 min.).
PEACE

Thanks, Paulie! The radio show went very well – I was slated for two hours and they kept me a bit more than 3.5!

I would definitely invite Barry Cooper to go to school with you, and have him bring his daughter Kelsie with him.
Cooper is the 2010 LP TX candidate for Attorney General, and his presence in front of cameras and crowds will work wonders.
Trust me.

Steve, the one time I did it was a HS government class, and I gave them the drill-down on the legislative process and what really goes on in the sausage grinder under the abstract hood they see in the textbook. I used that to illustrate just how screwed up the system is.
You really have to either have an open lecture or tailor it to the class in question and where they are in their syllabus.

A bit far away for me to go to Texas, but thanks for the invite.

Consider moving here. Should I be elected, Texas will become an even more attractive place to live!

Jeff,
I don’t really live in any one place.
I live on the road and go where my work takes me.
When I’m not on the road, I live where I have people willing to let me sleep on their floor, feed me, and let me store some of my stuff there for free when I get back out on the road. That happens to be Alabama.
For the last decade, I have been on the road a lot more than off, and I plan to keep it that way.

The presentation went well, and I am looking for more chances to present the libertarian message. If your group would like a libertarian presentation, please contact me via http://www.JeffDaiell.com.
