Announcing the Midwest Liberty Fest: Activism, Education and Celebration
The DuQuoin (IL) State Fairgrounds will be brought to life by the Spirit of Liberty on October 9, 10 and 11 as grassroots activists from across the political spectrum and across the nation gather for the Midwest Liberty Fest. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from successful activists, hear from current candidates and celebrate the growing movement toward freedom and constitutional government.
The planning committee, sponsored by the Liberty Restoration Project, consists of activists who decided to provide the public with an event centered around ideas that unite us instead of divide us. The goal is to empower concerned citizens through the knowledge and real experiences of successful movers and shakers; everyone should be able to walk away with action items and project ideas in hand!
Some of the most well-known names in the liberty movement will be paired with up-and-coming leaders. From Adam Kokesh, the Iraq veteran and anti-war activist turned Congressional Candidate, to Michael Badnarik, the 2004 Libertarian candidate for President and Constitutional Scholar, to Sheriff Richard Mack, the man educating our nation's law enforcement on their Constitutional role, attendees will have the opportunity to learn from some serious movers and shakers.
Interested speakers, musicians or sponsors should send a letter of request to the planning team at the following email address: team@midwestlibertyfest.com.
Donations will provide transportation for speakers, location rental and insurance costs, and promotional materials such as radio and television ads. Keep your eyes on www.midwestlibertyfest.com for an up-to-the-minute confirmed speakers list and the upcoming announcement of our commemorative ticket.

Pulido? Really?
I got excited until I saw Rosana Pulido in the candidate section. (Are you still considered a candidate after you lose?)
I'm quite surprised that she would be given time with the other great speakers. It's ironic that she find a place to speak considered that her actions and statements on other boards would have gotten her kicked off this forum.

She does not represent the views of Dr. Paul and the movement would do good not to let her use it as a stepping stone for her own ambitions.
I hope this will be the first of many
like it.
BUMP
to make a difference and radical change!
A bunch of candidates that I haven't heard of
Are any of them running on a ticket besides the GOP? I hope so, I finding the amount of "Ron Paul" candidates running on the GOP ticket is a little excessive...makes it look like we are some partisan shills.

Message for conservatives: those who give up liberty for security deserve neither.
Message for liberals: those who give up liberty for equality deserve neither.
DO THIS NOW! PLEASE
BUY SHERIFF MACK'S BOOK AND GIVE IT TO YOUR COUNTY SHERIFF. THIS WILL PREVENT FUTURE TYRANNY FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT!
WooHoo!
Wow, that sounds awesome, sooooo positive action. Now that is exciting!
Prepare & Share the Message of Freedom through Positive-Peaceful-Activism.
