Illinois Gun Owners Lobby Day (IGOLD)

The Chicago Libertarian Party Meetup Group

Join the America’s Future Foundation on Wednesday, January 13th, 2010 from 6:30-8:30 PM to watch the Republican gubernatorial debate live on ABC 7. Enjoy drinks and light snacks with fellow area young conservatives and libertarians as we see where the Republican candidates stand on important Illinois–and national–issues a couple weeks before the primaries.

Following the debate, we’ll have representatives from the campaigns–Republican, Libertarian (that’s us!), and maybe even Democrat–to take your questions. This event will be enlightening to anyone who doesn’t yet know how they’ll vote in February, so consider bringing a friend or two to introduce them our group.

We will be hosting this event at Sullivan’s Steakhouse at 415 Dearborn in Chicago. You may RSVP by replying to richard@americasfuture.org. Plan to stick around after the event for food and continued discussion with AFFers at a location nearby.

Candidate Meet and Greet

The Chicago Libertarian Party Meetup Group

Lets start out the New Year right by helping our candidates raise money to get on the Ballot in 2010! You can help by attending of fundraiser on Jan 8th at the Rock Bottom Brewery in Chicago.

We will have a private room with a dedicated serving staff for 3 hours. In addition they will be able to provide us with 2 viewing screens so that we can show a movie during the event. Suggestions for movie titles are appreciated. 2 suggested so far are "The fall of the Republic" and "IOUSA".
We will need one individual to bring a laptop so we can play the DVD on their screens.

The price for this event is $40.00 and includes 3 hours of an all you can drink package.
The description of the drink package will be detailed on the bottom of this announcement.

They have full food service, so if people want to order dinner it will be available, but it is not included in the package.

The Rock Bottom Brewery is located near the corner of State and Grand. It is just steps away from the CTA Red line. There is a parking garage across the street but the restaurant recommended using their valet service which I believe is either $13 or $17 for the entire evening. Please RSVP by 12/29/2009 so that we will have an accurate head count. If we get over 45 people then we can request a larger room.

Here are the details of the drinks included:

Handcrafted Beer, House Wine, Soda and Well Brand Drinks:

SIX FRESH HANDCRAFTED BREWS ON DRAFT

Line Drive Light
This straw-colored Lager is brewed with Pilsen malt to create an easy drinking beer with a crisp and clean finish.

This American-style Pale Ale combines the smooth flavor of pale malt with a touch of crystal and Munich malts.

Our rotating Wheat…depending on the season and the whim of our brewers, this may be a Hefeweizen, Wit, Dunkelweizen or other exciting style of Wheat beer.

Erik the Red Ale
A dry-hopped American-style Red Ale brewed with dark crystal malt that lends a caramel and maple character to this deep ruby-colored brew.
