Libertarian Meetups > 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.

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.

The Chicago Libertarian Party April Meetup

Libertarian Meetups > The Chicago Libertarian Party Meetup Group

What did the New Deal really achieve? Did it make the Depression better or worse?

Amity Schlaes, the author of a critically acclaimed book on the subject, "The Forgotten Man," will join the Illinois Policy Institute for a rousing discussion on April 15–that’s right, tax day!

Personally, I consider Amity’s book, "The Greedy hand," which is a history and an indictment of our tax system, to be among the most enlightening in my library. This should be a really great event.

Time: 5:30 pm-7:30 pm
Location: The Library, 190 South LaSalle (Chicago), 40th Floor
Cost: Tickets are $25, and include cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres.

For more details or to RSVP, contact us at info@illinoispolicyinstitute.org or call Ana-Maria at 312-346-5700, ext. 208.

The Death of Common Sense

Libertarian Meetups > The Chicago Libertarian Party Meetup Group

America’s Future Foundation – Chicago is hosting their first event in 2009 on Wednesday, January 21st.

This roundtable will focus on a subject everyone is talking about – the U.S. and world economy, with a panel including Prof. Todd Henderson, Gus Makris, Alex Markis and Phil Wilhelm.

This esteemed panel will give insight to questions such as: Are there any free markets left in the United States? What kind of free market policies can we expect from an Obama administration? Was President Bush wise in announcing that he had to "sacrifice free market principles to save the economy from collapse?" What about these middle class tax cuts? What about the $700 billion bailout? Often cited as a supporter of redistributionist ideals, will our economy emerge from an Obama administration more or less "free market?" Having the legal and financial wherewithal to guide our guests through these and many more questions, this is certainly a don’t miss panel of speakers.

Be sure to bring your friends for cocktails, appetizers, door prizes, networking and great conversation, and to find out more about how to get involved with this exciting group of young libertarian and conservative professionals in Chicago.

The roundtable will take place at Sullivan’s Steakhouse with a reception beginning at 6pm. The panel will start their debate and discussion at 6:30. You may RSVP by sending an email to tim@americasfuture.org.
