PRESIDENT'S
CORNER
Dear friends,
Good news, part 2:
Last issue I shared some very good news with you: the World's Smallest
Political Quiz is making significant inroads into the American
educational system!
We've found over 170 different colleges, universities, high schools,
middle schools, and preparatory academies that are using the Quiz in the
classroom, or have done so recently.
And we're learning of new ones almost daily.
We've just posted a list of Quiz-using schools at our Web site:
http://theadvocates.org/quiz-in-class-list.html
Special thanks to our Director of Communications Bill Winter for
researching this.
As I discussed in more detail last issue, the fact that over 170
colleges and high schools use the World's Smallest Political Quiz
greatly enhances its credibility. And this in turn will make it easier
for us to approach more teachers and professors in the future -- and
invite them to also use this mind-opening, stimulating and fun
educational tool.
And of course this is great news for libertarians, since it means that
increasing numbers of high school and college students are being taught
that politics is more than a simplistic Left-Right line -- and that
libertarians are an important part of the true political spectrum.
NOTE TO EDUCATORS: We'd love to have you try the Quiz in your
classrooms. We'll send you cardstock Quizzes free for your class. Just
contact us on school stationary, or email us with your name, address and
title, and we'll send you as many Quiz cards as you need.
Of course, you can also use the online Quiz in your classroom. It's at:
http://www.TheAdvocates.org/quiz.html
Please let us know if you use it, so we can add you to our
fast-growing list of schools and educators.
Thank you!

this, we have extended our special early-early-bird special price of

L.A. City Council
Bans "Silly String"
YOU'LL GET MY SILLY STRING WHEN YOU PRY IT FROM MY COLD DEAD FINGERS!
No, we haven't seen that bumper sticker yet. But it may be coming soon.
On August 17, the Los Angeles city council voted to outlaw the use of
"silly string" on Halloween.
Yes, silly string -- that gooey, brightly-colored, string-like aerosol
foam that kids, party goers and other celebrants spray on each other.
Hey, stop laughing! This is a serious matter.
Just ask Councilman Tom LaBonge, sponsor of the ban.
"It's not silly at all," he told critics. Indeed, LaBonge says
the ban is about serious stuff like stopping violence and protecting the
environment.
The use of silly string, LaBonge and the anti-string forces say,
sometimes starts fights at Halloween parties. "People get a little
crazed at the end of the evening, and they shoot the spray into each
other's faces," explained a spokeswoman for LaBonge.
(Which suggests a second bumper sticker: SILLY STRING DOESN'T START
FIGHTS -- PEOPLE DO.)
And some environmentalists charge that the stuff isn't biodegradable,
and when it drains from (government-owned) streets into the ocean, it
harms marine life.
LaBonge's fellow commissioners hailed the ban and voted 10-0 in favor.
The council now must approve the ordinance one more time for it to
become law.
Violators will face fines of up to $1,000.
Of course, the Halloween ban is only the opening round.
As Councilman Bernard Parks told a local TV station: "We have the
same problem during the Martin Luther King Jr. parade and a variety of
open events that create a major clean-up problem once the event is over.
I would like to see if we could expand this."
First Halloween, then… every day? First Los Angeles, then... the rest
of America?
Get those bumper stickers ready.
WHEN SILLY STRING IS OUTLAWED, ONLY CRIMINALS AND GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE
SILLY STRING.

Feds: Millions of
U.S. Kids Trapped in Failing Schools
As the school year gets underway, fully a fourth of America's 48.5
million students will be sent to schools that even the government itself
designates as failing.
Federal education officials report that at least 24,000 public schools
-- a quarter of the country's 96,500 schools, serving more than 12
million children -- failed to meet the "adequate yearly
progress" (AYP) standard last year. The AYP standard, which measure
progress in basic skills in math, reading and more, is a centerpiece of
the two-year-old No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law.
In some cities, an extraordinarily high number of schools failed to make
the grade. In the nation's capitol, almost half of "public"
(government) schools failed the "Adequate Yearly Progress"
standard. Baltimore, Maryland had similar figures. 28% of Virginia
schools failed AYP.
When schools repeatedly fail the AYP standard, children are supposed to
have options including the right to transfer to schools that are not
sub-standard. However, with so many schools below standard -- and so
many students so far behind -- that may be extremely difficult to do.
With half of Washington D.C. schools failing, students are being bused
to increasingly crowded Virginia and Maryland suburban schools.
NCLB's stated goal is to have every child in government schools reading
and doing math at grade levels by the year 2014. There is no word yet
whether politicians have booked Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the
Easter Bunny to be there in 2014 to congratulate the nation on reaching
that goal.

Americans Say No to Draft
Heck no, we won't go!
That's the (slightly edited) response of a huge percentage of draft-age
young Americans, according to a new survey conducted by the Alliance for
Security. The Alliance is a project of the Vietnam Veterans of America
Foundation (VVAF), a humanitarian organization seeking to "educate
and engage the American public in a dialogue about national
security."
The survey found that if the government imposed a draft, a whopping
one-third (32%) of draft-eligible adults would refuse to serve. Another
20 % would seek deferments.
Thus, more than half would either refuse to go or would actively try to
find a way out.
Only 43% of draft-age Americans say they would serve if a draft were
imposed.
Furthermore, an unprecedented number of parents -- fully 40% -- say that
they would not want their child to serve if drafted. For comparison, in
1970, during the height of the Vietnam War, a survey found that more
than 75% of parents would have told their child to serve if drafted.
"I think it's going to shock America" to find so many citizens
actively resisting the draft, should it be reinstituted, stated VVAF
president Bobby Muller.
Although the Bush administration has repeatedly insisted there are no
plans to reinstitute a draft, almost two-thirds of adults feel that the
U.S. "could be headed for a draft in the near future." Many
Congressmen report growing concern about the issue from their
constituents.

"Where is it written in the Constitution ..."
"Where is it written in the Constitution, in what section or clause
is it contained, that you may take children from their parents and
parents from their children, and compel them to fight the battle in any
war in which the folly or the wickedness of government may engage
it?"
-- Daniel Webster, in a speech before the U.S. House of Representatives
in 1814.

ASK DR. RUWART
Dr. Mary Ruwart is a leading expert in libertarian communication. In
this column she gives readers "short answers to the tough
questions" that libertarians are frequently asked.
Dr. Ruwart's past Liberator Online answers are archived in searchable
form at: http://www.TheAdvocates.org/ruwart/categories_list.php
* * *
Should the U.S. withdraw from the United Nations?
Question:
"I don't think that the U.S. should send out troops at the
discretion of the United Nations. But is withdrawal from the UN the only
way to prevent the misuse of our people? I would like to think that
America could still maintain relationships with other countries."
My short answer:
"The best way to maintain relationships with other countries is by
trading with all nations.We don't need the UN for that!
"The only way to prevent misuse of our resources is to always have
the freedom to choose. The UN is supported by tax money
"donated" by member nations, but the individual taxpayers, who
fear their money will be misused, are not free to withhold their money.
When the means are tainted (e.g., taxes), the ends will be too (e.g.,
the UN)."
[Editor's note: The Founders put it very nicely:
"It is our true policy to steer clear of entangling alliances with
any portion of the foreign world. The great rule of conduct for us in
regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations, to
have with them as little political connection as possible."
-- George Washington.
"Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations --
entangling alliances with none." -- Thomas Jefferson.]
* * *
Should we postpone re-legalizing drugs?
Question:
"If we legalized drugs before replacing our current government with
a libertarian government, wouldn't large corporations take over the drug
trade (as with tobacco), and wouldn't large taxes be added to the cost
(as with tobacco)? In other words, until we have a fully libertarian
government, shouldn't drug legalization wait?"
My short answer:
"Currently, the War on Drugs kills 2-4 times more people than the
drugs themselves, including deaths from turf fighting, spread of AIDS
from contaminated needles, and "overdose" deaths actually due
to substandard manufacturing conditions. Why wait to save lives?"

PERSUASION POWER POINT #166
Walt Disney's Amazing Marketing Rule
by Michael Cloud
"Do something so well that people will pay to see you do it
again," said Walt Disney. "And when they come back, they'll
bring their friends."
Naturally, their friends were also amazed by Disney's attractions. So
they in turn paid to see it again, and brought *their* friends.
Disney was onto something amazing. And astonishingly rare.
Most things are ordinary, average, mediocre. Dull and drab. Forgettable.
That's why just one breathtaking, heart-stopping speech can launch a
person's business or political career. Because that speech will not be
given just once. It'll be given again and again to ever-growing, eager
audiences.
That's why one extraordinary restaurant will go from zero to hero in
weeks. Why it will quickly attract fiercely loyal diners. Why it will
overflow with raving fans. Month after month.
That's why one low-budget movie by an unknown director and actors will
take audiences by storm. Why it will magnetically draw in thousands,
then millions of moviegoers. Why it will make the director, producer,
and actors bankable -- and in demand.
All of these are living the Disney Marketing Rule: "Do something so
well that people will pay to see you do it again… and bring their
friends."
Walt Disney did NOT say "do something well enough that people say
you did it well, or talk about how well you did it."
Walt Disney said, "..so well that people will PAY to see you do it
again." Even though it costs them, your product or service or
performance is so outstanding that they pay to experience it again.
Disney did NOT say, "do everything so well..."
Disney said, "Do ONE thing so well..." Deliver one product or
one service or one performance so well that it sets in motion an
ever-expanding swarm of customers and supporters.
How can libertarians profit from the Disney Marketing Rule?
1. Seek out and pay close attention to libertarian books, speeches, and
activities that grab you by the throat and won't let you go. Urge others
to read this astonishing book. Invite friends to hear that speech with
you. Bring them to that one extraordinary activity.
2. Search for and drink in books, recorded and live seminars and talks,
and teachers who have demonstrated that they personally can do what you
are hungry to learn. (Shameless Promotion: buy and read my new
bookSecrets of Libertarian Persuasion at:
http://www.theadvocates.org/secrets.html
.
It can change you life.)
3. Try out, rehearse, and make a habit of what you learn. Where? Staff
an Operation Politically Homeless (OPH) Booth for a day, use the ideas
in Secrets of Libertarian Persuasion, and notice how quickly, easily,
and enjoyably you get better and better. Where else? Call in to a local
talk radio show, use what you're learning, and notice the impact you're
having. Where else? Find a well-run, competent libertarian campaign and
volunteer. Ask for coaching in the thing they do best. Your volunteer
work pays for your coaching. And you'll have a ball working for liberty.
4. Do NOT try to do everything outstandingly well. Practice doing one
thing well. You'll make mistakes. Everyone does. But pay attention to
your improvements and successes. And then...staff another OPH booth,
call another talk radio show, volunteer again with that competent
campaign... and use what you're learning.
Excel in one thing in business -- and you can earn a fortune.
Excel in one thing in personal relationships -- and you can love and be
loved.
Excel in one thing in libertarian activism -- and you can help set us
free.
This is Walt Disney's gift and guidance for libertarians.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Michael Cloud's great new libertarian outreach book!
"Secrets of Libertarian Persuasion" by Michael Cloud. 240
pages. Quality trade paperback. Published by the Advocates for
Self-Government, 2004.
"Michael Cloud's book is brilliant. The stories, techniques, and
ideas are right on target. On page after page, I saw new approaches and
methods I can start using right away. Secrets of Libertarian Persuasion
is the libertarian book that can make a difference."
-- Gary Nolan, Libertarian talk radio host
"I'm a second-generation libertarian. I've been immersed in
libertarian books and ideas my whole life. But Secrets of Libertarian

the best libertarian book I've read in the last 10 years."
-- Justin Kempf, Libertarian Party of Indiana
* * *
Do you sincerely want to convince others to become libertarians?
What if you could open closed minds? What if you could turn opposition
and resistance into agreement and support for liberty? What if you could
melt people's indifference and apathy toward freedom? What if you could
develop a Midas Touch for liberty -- transforming person after person
into libertarians?
Michael Cloud's Secrets of Libertarian Persuasion will take you a long
way toward this.
Why isn't everyone desperately seeking freedom? Why are so many people
indifferent? Why are many others opposed to liberty? And why have so
many people just given up?
Because no one has opened their eyes to the possibility of liberty. No
one has touched their hearts with the intense desirability of liberty.
No one has reached their minds with the principled and practical wisdom
of liberty.
Secrets of Libertarian Persuasion solves these problems. Secrets of
Libertarian Persuasion gives you the keys to opening people's hearts and
minds to liberty.
What You'll Learn:
* Why libertarians don't need "A Better Mousetrap." (p.23)
* What libertarians can learn from Mark Twain's Cat. (p.34)
* When impatience undermines libertarian progress. (p.52)
* How to gently dissolve many objections in 60 seconds. (p.63)
* Get people to "Push the Button" and become libertarians.
(p.81)
* Treasure Map for finding people who urgently want freedom. (p.83)
* One deadly mistake almost every libertarian makes -- and how to avoid
it. (p.96)
* "You know enough about libertarianism to buy it, but do you know
enough to sell it?" (p.126)
* When to "Save Your Breath." (p.165)
* The Biggest Libertarian Communication Turnoff. (p.171)
* How to handle "The Toughest Prospects: Family and Friends."
(p.185)
* Danger: "Counterfeit Libertarianism." (p.210)
* "The Unsettling Question Libertarians Almost Never Ask."
(p.236)
And much more!
You will reap huge rewards from Secrets of Libertarian Persuasion. If
you talk about libertarianism with your family, friends, co-workers, or
neighbors, you will start seeing astonishing differences almost
immediately. If you're a libertarian activist or leader or candidate for
office, you will start seeing dramatic differences in your libertarian
speeches, interviews, and conversations. Secrets of Libertarian
Persuasion is for you.
Michael Cloud is uniquely qualified to unlock the mysteries of effective
communication. For 29 years, Michael Cloud has studied, investigated,
tested, and refined hundreds of different approaches to persuasive
libertarian outreach. He's mapped the safest and best paths through the
dangerous communication minefield.
Secrets of Libertarian Persuasion is the result. It will give you a head
start. Turbocharge your libertarian conversations. So you can quickly
and simply win people's hearts and minds to liberty.
Secrets of Libertarian Persuasion is a charming and very readable book.
It's rich with new insights and outlooks, parables, one-liners, stories,
unforgettable phrases, and power tools for persuasion. Much of this
material appeared originally in different forms in the Liberator Online
over several years, but it's all been rewritten, edited, improved, and
updated. Plus the book includes three classic Cloud articles that have
never appeared in any book before. These alone are worth the cover
price!
Secrets of Libertarian Persuasion is published and distributed
exclusively by the Advocates for Self-Government.
