APPLETON - It's a summer tradition, especially for two Appleton neighbors.

“The kids have been setting it up for six or seven years now,” said Margi Mann.

Two young girls sell lemonade and cookies every year near their house during Appleton's Old Car Show. But this year that changed.

“We had a knock on the door from our local police officer who had to deliver us the news,” said Mann.

Because of a new city ordinance, Margi Mann's daughter Lydia could no longer sell her lemonade. And their neighbor couldn't sell her cookies.

“There were tears at first. There was big disappointment. When you're nine and somebody tells you you can't, you're not happy,” said Mann. “It's just a lemonade stand, so that's the part that's disheartening.”

They usually dont start with the big stuff, they start with the little stuff. Oh, you lost your teddy bear. So what. Sorry, I have to confiscate your paper scissors, you know, the "safety" ones with the rounded edges, they could be dangerous. And we have to confiscate all your Forks in the School Cafeteria. Speaking of School, you arent allowed to learn the Real History of the Federal Reserve Bank. Well, you went ahead and learned yourself about the True History of the Federal Reserve anyway without my permission, so, now you arent allowed to talk about it. Who cares? Its just your Cat. Its just your Dog. Its just your Money. Its just your Property. Its just your Privacy. Its just your Constitutional Rights. Its just Your Life, why should we the asshole Cops and Crooked Council Members give a rats ass about you? Youre just cannon for the fodder. Meat for the Grinder. Do you really try creating an emotional connection to the cow before you eat it? We are the Government, and you will be assimilated. Or, if you are Dyslexic, We are Dyslexia of Borg. Your Ass will be Laminated. Resist the Futility.

The end result is the production of more slaves or more libertarians.

We should promote this, but how about going a step further....

Lets have a book bomb for local libraries!

Help Mom, There are liberals under my bed!:

This full-color illustrated book is a fun way for parents to teach young children the valuable lessons of conservatism. Written in simple text, readers can follow along with Tommy and Lou as they open a lemonade stand to earn money for a swing set. But when liberals start demanding that Tommy and Lou pay half their money in taxes, take down their picture of Jesus, and serve broccoli with every glass of lemonade, the young brothers experience the downside to living in Liberaland.

We could probably get a deep discount buying in quantity, then glue in a blerb about that site and link, as well as a list of news articles about lemonade stand busts... Then give said books to the children's section of local libraries. Link to some Paul sites too...

Individual copies are $11.64 from Amazon, but I'm guessing $5-6ea in quantity. It's a good children's book and hardcover so easy for Libraries to process. As an alternative to gluing in pages, a rubber stamp could be made.

Chipin anyone?

If we could get RP supporter kids to do this lemonade stand project, we could have them hand out a RP slim jim or flyer specific for this issue with every glass!

In my experience, libraries don't take book donations for their collection. They take donations of books which they turn around and sell. They then use the money for whatever they want, which may include buying the books THEY want to buy.

So before you buy a bunch of books thinking you will get libraries to shelve them, check with the library.
