Meeting Description

Who

This meeting is open to anyone and everyone who wants to discuss the inspirational and enlightening ideals which form the basis of Ron Paul's and all Liberty and freedom loving individuals thought throughout the ages.

Why

You cannot have great thoughts, unless you read the great minds! and sadly the great minds of classical liberalism have been all but forgotten today.

Organized by

"We will be in the public room. Look for the tall guy wearing a Ron Paul cap"
--Craig Townsend

Details

I thought we would begin with a very thin book wink which is also one of the foundational thinkers of classical liberal economic philosophy.

This is no dry read! Bastiat is a GIANT!!! This book will set your mind on fire! He discuses all of the relevant political ideas which we are still arguing about today! THe Free Market, socialism, collectivism, Market interference etc..

You must attend this meeting to be baptized in the fire of Liberties Torch!

The book can be downloaded for free here: http://www.fee.org/pd...

You can read the profile of this incredible author here:

Please come and bring as many as you want!
