The Chicago Libertarian Party Meetup Group

Welcome fellow members of the Libertarian Party Chicago.  This message is the 1st official notice that the Libertarian Party Chicago is planning on creating 4 new branches of the group.  Earlier, many of you voted on your choice for alternate locations for meeting places that better fit your schedule or would be closer to get to.  That being said, the 4 general locations are: The loop, Bucktown/Wicker Park, Jefferson Park/Edison Park, and Edgewater/Rogers Park.

What we are looking for are members to establish these 4 new branch groups to expand the presence of the Libertarian Party of Chicago.  That being said, we need volunteers to fill the following positions for each of the  branches.  Once the group is established, you can hold elections to make changes as you see fit.

1.       President:  to run meetings, help establish the new location and make quarterly contact with main Libertarian Party of Chicago group.

2.      Fundraiser:  Raise funds to help run the group.  We ask that each of the groups consider giving a portion of their funds raised to the main Chicago Libertarian group on a quarterly basis. The amount to be determined by the members of the new group, when funds become available.

3.      Treasurer:  Safe-keeps the funds collected.

4.      Membership:  To increase the number of members that join the LP Chicago and attend the meetings of the new location/group.

5.      Web designer:  Someone who can create and update the new group’s website that will be based off the template of the Chicago Libertarian web page; though personal touches/changes are recommended.

Please reply to this post to indicating which new location you would be interested in becoming an officer for.  I will gather up all posts and messages and get people in touch with each other that have indicated they want to form the branch in the same area.  Please reply by 4/23/2011

Thanks for your participation,

The Libertarian Party of Chicago is once again hosting Michael Badnarik’s class on the US Constitution. Mr. Badnarik was the Libertarian nominee for President in 2004, and is an acclaimed Constitutional scholar and teacher.

The class will be from 8:30 am – 5:00 pm at the Lincoln Restaurant Lincoln Restaurant (4008 North Lincoln Avenue, at the corner of Lincoln, Irving Park and Damen) in Chicago. There is plenty of free parking, and it is not too far from the Irving Park Brown Line stop. It is also where LP Chicago holds its monthly meetings.

If you have already attended Michael’s class, consider coming back for a refresher – you already know how interesting it is. If you have not yet attended Michael’s class, then you are in for a treat. All day on the Constitution might sound like a long time on a dry subject, but I can promise that it is anything but. You will be in for a day that you won’t forget.

Here is the sign-up page for the class. http://www.constituti…
Note that with the course tuition, you will also get a signed copy of Michael’s book, "Good to Be King."

Also note that, immediately following Michael’s class, LP Chicago will be hosting its annual holiday party – details to follow soon.

Again, please put December 11th on your calendar. Michael Badnarik’s class during the day, and then the LP Chicago holiday party in the evening. A full day of Liberty!

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.

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:
