The Chicago Libertarian Party Meetup Group

Join the America’s Future Foundation (AFF) to discuss how principled, limited government candidates plan on winning in Illinois.

As conservative and libertarian activists set their sights on November’s elections, AFF wants to know how principled limited government and free market-oriented candidates plan to win in the deep blue state of Illinois. How are the next generation of candidates making the case for votes in largely liberal areas?

To answer that question, we’ve invited four young candidates for public office to talk about their campaign strategies leading into the fall elections. Our roundtable panelists are:

Angel Garcia, GOP candidate for Cook County Clerk
Joel Pollak, GOP candidate for Illinois’s 9th Congressional District
Adam Robinson, GOP candidate for the 7th Illinois Senate District
Ed Rutledge, Libertarian Party candidate for Illinois Lt. Governor (and Chair of the Libertarian Party of Chicago)

RSVP to Richard Lorenc, at Richard@americasfuture.org

Admission is free, but the bar will be open (credit cards only)

The Chicago Libertarian Party Meetup Group

All ages can attend.

The Chicago Libertarian Party starts its business meetings at 7pm. The business typically takes about an hour to get through, after which we stay around for a couple of hours socializing.

This meetup is a social gathering only, we will not have a business meeting. We will however be looking for volunteers to help petition during the next couple of months to get the LP on the November Ballot.

Feel free to show up any time after 6:00. The business portion of the meeting is open for everyone to attend. Now is a great time to get involved, as we work begin the groundwork for local elections in 2010.

The Lincoln Restaurant is near the intersection of Lincoln, Irving Park and Damen. There is parking, and I believe that the Irving Park brown line station is open again.

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.
