HEADLINE: Announcing the Midwest Liberty Fest: Activism, Education and Celebration

August 6th, 2009: The DuQuoin, Illinois fairground will be brought to life by the spirit of liberty on October 9, 10 and 11 as grassroots activists from across the political spectrum gather for the Midwest Liberty Fest. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from successful activists, hear from current candidates and celebrate the growing movement toward freedom from government oppression.

The planning committee, sponsored by the Liberty Restoration Project, consists of activists who decided to provide the public with an event centered around ideas that unite us instead of divide us. The goal is to empower concerned citizens through the knowlege and real experiences of successful movers and shakers; eveyone should be able to walk away with action items and project ideas in hand!

The well known names in the liberty movement will be paired with up and coming leaders. From Adam Kokesh, the anti-war activist turned Congressional Candidate to Michael Badanarik, the 2004 Libertarian candidate for President and Constitutional Scholar to Sherif Joe Mac, the man educating our nation's law enforcment on their Constitutional role, attendees will have the opportunity to learn from some serious movers and shakers.

Interested speakers, musicians or sponsors should send a letter of request to the planning team at the following email address: team@midwestlibertyfest.com.

Donatations will provide transportation for speakers, location rental and insurance costs, and promotional materials such as radio and television ads. Keep your eyes on www.midwestlibertyfest.com for an up to the minute confirmed speakers list and the upcoming announcment of our commerative ticket.
