Liberty on the Rocks: A splendid mix of grass roots activism, libations, and good conversation. We are a group of citizens who endeavor to limit the reach of government into our personal lives, to ensure life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Join us for a meeting of the minds to discuss ways we can further our cause of liberty. The Denver chapter meets on the first and third Wednesdays of each month at the Tavern Uptown (17th and Pearl St.) in downtown Denver. New chapters are opening up all around the country, so keep an eye out for a Liberty on the Rocks near you!

 


Next course starts January 24th!

You have a strong love of freedom. It's a natural part of being human. But too few people were taught the fundamentals of a free society. We have a wonderful seminar to offer you. It pulls together the basic principles of liberty and a free market, showing you that these cohesive fundamentals allow society to work well,and to honor the individual. The course material springs from the great thinkers and achievers who shaped America. It is designed for business and community leaders and the general public, and it is also available for college credit.

The course makes the moral and philosophic case for free-market capitalism. It will be more than worth your time.

Classes meet once a week for five weeks, and the course costs only $75. A scholarship for one course registration is available.

Independent Thinking
With Mark Udall leaving his second congressional seat to run as the democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, the race is wide open and the vacated seat is up for grabs. We’ve got Democratic hopefuls Jared Polis and Will Shafroth on to discuss their ideas and strategy in the upcoming campaign. Unfortunately, the third horse in the race, Joan Fitz-Gerald, declined our invitation to be a guest. A request for alternative dates went unanswered making this show particularly testosterone heavy.

They also explain how the website can be used as a tool for parents in choosing the right school. Listen to find out if you have all the necessary open enrollment information.
