Join us as we revisit last year’s presentation from Moore and Fund as they shared potential consequences of a Trump or Hillary win. See these nationally acclaimed experts discuss what a new administration in Washington means for the country and our state, and how the Supreme Court nomination defines our future.

The Annual Independence Institute Founders’ Night is a celebration of visionaries who are committed to providing the support needed to protect and defend liberty in Colorado. They are a special group of dedicated freedom fighters who understand the commitment needed for the long and enduring battles for freedom.
