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.

At this meeting we will be discussing the upcoming Illinois Gun Owners Lobby Day (IGOLD) event. We will also discuss ballot access of the LP and plans for signature gathering to help get our Illinois LP slate on the ballot for next election.

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

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.

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

Walleye Wheat
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.

Join the Libertarian Party of Chicago for its annual Holiday Party on December 12th, right after Michael Badnarik’s class on the Constitution (which, if you have not been, you should try to attend – it is well worth it! – www.constitutionpreservation.org).

The party will feature book signings, a Meet and Greet with the LP Illinois slate for 2010, heavy hors d’oeuvres and plenty of holiday cheer.

The location is about a mile north of the Lincoln Restaurant. There is plenty of parking, and it is near the Brown Line Damen stop.

I look forward to seeing you on the 12th!
