As we are one week away from the tea party, I again encourage everybody to let us know if you are planning to attend the tea party with the Golden Gate Objectivists. Our pre-meeting will be this Saturday, April 11th, at 10 am, at Doyle Street CafĂ© in Emeryville (www.doylestreetcafe.com, 5515 Doyle Street, parking across the street.) Ask for Golden Gate Objectivists – we have a table reserved in the back room.
We also need to get our posters ready. To be effective, we would like all of us to have similar style/messaging:
- ‘Golden Gate Objectivists’ as a header
- Message in the middle. Possible messages:
'The Mixed Economy Failed. Try Capitalism - The Unkown Ideal'
'Selfishness IS a Virtue. Say NO to Sacrifice'
'Going John Galt. Say NO to Altruism'
'Read Atlas Shrugged Before It Happens Here.'
'Greed is not the cause. Altruism is. Read Ayn Rand.'
- aynrandcenter.org url at the bottom (use approved by ARI.)
If you want to make your own poster, you can e-mail us for a Word file, from which you can easily change the message wording. Other tips:
- Kinkos will print them to 22x28 or 20x30 (common card stock/foam board sizes) for $4.50 per black/white copy
- You can then glue to card stock (22x28) or foam board (20x30), both available from any office supply store (3 foam boards for $10-$12)
- Handle is thin wood from Home Depot ($0.60 per foot)
- I colored a few highlights in turquoise, to add some color (elements in turquoise in Word doc, came out light print in b/w prints, easy to color over.)
Finally, we will send out one additional e-mail prior to the event with specific instructions on when/where to meet. Plan on being at the meeting spot (somewhere close to Civic Center Park) by 10:45 am on the 15th, so we can get ourselves organized as a group prior to the bigger event starting its march.
Looking forward to seeing/meeting many of you on Saturday and/or next Wednesday.
