The Libertarian Party in Portland, Oregon

Annie Kallen and Richard Burke represented the Libertarian Party of Oregon at the annual "Democracy in Action" event hosted by Central Catholic High School in Portland Oregon. At this event, various public officials, political parties, and political organizations set up displays while students arrive and ask questions. At this year's event, the Libertarian Party's table was one of the most popular with crowds asking questions and listening to answers throughout the event. Over the last ten years, the Libertarian Party of Oregon has been a fixture of this event. To help demonstrate what is unique about the Libertarian Party of Oregon, we employed the well known quiz along with the nolan chart as is available from the Advocates for Self Government. In the attached photo, Richard and Annie are shown second and third from the left.
