"Among [the Advocates'] excellent grassroots projects is Operation Politically Homeless, which includes using the World's Smallest Political Quiz to show people there's an important alternative to the conventional left-right political model." -- Jeff Chan, Right to Keep and Bear Arms (RKBA.org)

"The Advocates for Self-Government's World's Smallest Political Quiz was very useful in our outreach at the Texas GOP Convention; they deserve a large amount of credit for our success." -- Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas's eNEWSLETTER (June 16, 2002)

"Operation Politically Homeless [is] arguably the LP's most effective method of outreach. The counties that employ it on a regular basis are the strongest in the state as well as the nation." -- Travis County Libertarian Party (Texas)

"Operation Politically Homeless, from the Advocates for Self-Government, is an incredibly successful tool... It is based on the Nolan chart, and it shows people that politics go beyond left and right." -- Kimberly Crawley, Libertarian Bulletin (Spring 2000). Ontario Libertarian Party (Canada)

"Operation Politically Homeless... probably uncovered more budding young libertarians in one day than we've found in the entire past year." -- Libertarian Association of Massachusetts newsletter

"Our booth at the Young Republicans convention was a smashing success, and Operation Politically Homeless was the whole reason. OPH was incredible -- the Young Republicans couldn't resist it! If we hadn't had OPH there, I would go so far as to say that only half as many people or less would have shown up at our booth." -- Eric Dondero, Co-Founder, Republican Liberty Caucus

"We dwarfed the attendance at all the other student booths. We were far and away the most raucous, the most popular, booth." -- Doug Wichman, Louisiana.

Thank you for such a wonderful tool. It was very easy to use and fun, too. The training tape and online manual were quite useful, and I am looking forward to using the kit again. -- Liz Bowles, Botetourt County (Virginia) Libertarians

"I ended up staying four hours simply because it was so much fun!" -- Reg Dominy, Georgia

"Operation Politically Homeless is a wonderful experience and great fun. It was amazing to me that there are people out there who can score 100/100 [on the Quiz], and yet have never heard of libertarianism. OPH and the World's Smallest Political Quiz are powerful tools!"-- Louis James, Virginia

"I could not believe the number of people who stopped at our booth! There were so many that I barely got a chance to sit down. I saw many faces light up with understanding." -- Elle Spertus, Massachusetts

"At times, we had six, seven, or eight people lined up at our booth taking the Quiz. By the final day we had over 500 colored dots on the chart and dozens of names."-- Ed McGuire, Vermont.

"We handed out 3,000 of the Quizzes, placed 1,000 stick-on dots on the chart, and had more action at our booth than the 'other guys.' The result made for impressive PR."-- Richard C. Price, Idaho.

"The Republican Liberty Caucus outreach at the National College Republican Convention was very successful, thanks to the attention that OPH brings. Many extra Quizzes were taken by passers-by to share with friends, as well." -- Republican Liberty Caucus National Secretary Laura Mary Kotelman

"Folks, OPH has got to be one of the best PR devices ever invented! We signed up new members and made lots of friends. The neatest thing about OPH is that it works so well, and it's just so much fun for everybody." -- -- Dave Tartaglia, Pennsylvania

"Every libertarian club or chapter should have at least one Operation Politically Homeless booth, and maybe more than one. And they should use them -- all the time!" -- Ron Crickenberger, former Libertarian Party Campaign Chair

"At least twice, maybe three times, we actually chased people away to close the booth. We said, 'I'm sorry, we'll come back next month, but we gotta go.' And we'd just start folding up, and there's still be people standing there, still waiting to take the Quiz." -- George Schwappach, Advocates Board member

"I think OPH is great! A great [way] to get people interested." -- Jeff Johnson, Alabama

"OPH is great. Unlike the other political booths, we had something that intrigued people -- they wanted to see and take the Quiz, they wanted to see where they stood politically on the chart. OPH is a great, great tool to have -- a great way to discover new libertarians!" -- Beth Morgan, Georgia.

"The OPH booth was a big hit. Numerous people stated that it was the most interesting exhibit on the grounds that day." -- Carl Wimmer, Kentucky

"It is fun. Usually we'll have a couple of dozen people standing around the booth, a big crowd. Most of the time people just jump right into it. They really want to talk these questions out." -- Kirk Applegate, Ohio

"It was a lot of fun. And a lot of light bulbs went on. That's what I love about OPH -- that little flash of enlightenment!" -- Brian Towey, North Carolina 

"Operation Politically Homeless is undoubtedly the movement's most valuable tool. My personal experience with this activity was the most rewarding thing that I have done in my 15 years with the Libertarian Party -- and that includes the six televised debates for U.S. Senate that I did in 1982 and the Vice President's nomination and year of campaigning in 1984." -- Jim Lewis, 1984 Libertarian Party vice presidential candidate and author (with Jim Peron) of Liberty Reclaimed

"I never tired of turning to people whose dot I'd just placed in the libertarian quadrant and asking innocently, 'Did you know you were a libertarian?' and seeing the look of discovery come to their faces." -- Victor Germann, Chair, Libertarian Party of Monroe County Indiana 

"I've done several OPH booths now and I am still amazed at how easy it is to get even shy volunteers to come out of their shells and invite people in to take the Quiz." -- Allan Wallace, Vice Chair, Libertarian Party of DeKalb, Georgia.

"It's difficult to express the sensation I get when I see a natural libertarian discover that 'libertarian' means exactly what they feel, especially a young person. After putting their dot on the OPH chart, I usually then turn to them, extend my hand, and say: 'Did you know you are a libertarian? Welcome home.' The feeling is awesome." -- Blay Tarnoff, Vice Chair, Libertarian Party of New York

"I urge all libertarians doing public outreach to consider using Operation Politically Homeless." -- Arthur Turrey, Waltham, Massachusetts.

"Several people came up [at a home-schooling convention] and said, 'You have the most interesting table here!'" -- Virginia Flynn, Morganville, New Jersey
