To build the Libertarian party in Vermont, we have taken a table at the Barre Gun Show where we will use the Nolan Chart to help people realize they are libertarians. This is being done by “Libertarians for the 2nd Amendment and the thrust is to demonstrate how libertarians are fighting and winning for our fundamental rights the major parties, the ACLU and even the NRA are not securing.

** Date/Time: The Gun Show is February 5th from 9 Am to 5 PM and on February 6th from 9 AM to 3 PM. We are asking for volunteers for 2 hour shifts.

Saturday times
9-11 AM
11 AM- 1 PM
1-3 PM
3-5 PM

Sunday Times
9-11 AM
11 AM- 1 PM
1-3 PM

As you can see, there are only four time slots on Saturday and three on Sunday. We need at least 2 people for each shift. Please help if you can.

** Contact: If you will volunteer to help, please sign up by contacting Doug Richmond at richmonddp@juno.com or 899-3254: OR Karen Kerin at keringhost@gmail.com

We ask that a donation of $3 per person be made to cover the cost of the space.

Topic:

“Greatest Myths about Free Markets”

“I’d walk across a bed of hot coals to hear Tom Palmer speak” John McClaughry, President EA
“I heard Tom a few years ago. He is extremely knowledgeable. Exceptional.” Dr. Art Woolf, UVM Economics Dept.
“Author, scholar, speaker, advocate; Palmer is a crusader for liberty.” Dr. Robert Letovsky, Chair, Business Dept, SMC

Tom Palmer, Oxford University PhD, is an internationally known advocate for the advancement of liberty and free markets throughout the world. Seen on national television programs, read in prestigious journals, and sought after around the world as a speaker, Palmer is among the most knowledgeable experts on classical liberal/libertarian thought, Constitutional history, globalization, and economic studies. He was also a plaintiff in District of Columbia v. Heller in which the Supreme Court recently overturned the D.C. ban on handguns. Much of Tom’s time is spent meeting with and supporting groups and individuals in countries where individual and economic liberty are threatened or non-existent. Within the past few years, Tom has traveled to China, Malaysia, Afghanistan, Viet Nam, Kyrgyzstan, Indonesia, India, Russia and The Philippines to work with lovers of freedom. He will come to Vermont in December shortly after returning from a planned five day visit to North Korea.
