We will be joined this week by Anders, who is himself an immigrant to America. He will share his viewpoint on the immigration issue, and why the topic is very much related to liberty and freedom.

More about Mr. Ingemarson:

Anders Ingemarson is American by choice. He immigrated to the United States from Europe in 1994 and became an American citizen in 2002.

Anders has been an information technology specialist for the past 10 years. As a citizen activist, Anders is a staunch champion of liberty, individual rights and Capitalism. He is a graduate of the Leadership Program of the Rockies, a member the Colorado Front Range Objectivist community and a supporter of the Ayn Rand Institute.

As a speaker, Anders applies the principles of liberty, individual rights, and Capitalism to a wide range of subjects such as education, foreign policy, American Exceptionalism, and immigration, while drawing on his international background to provide insights into the differences between European and American thinking.

Mr. Friedman was a free market economist, statistician, author and Nobel Prize winner for his work with economics. He spent much of his life spreading the message of not only free markets, but liberty and freedom, across the globe.

To celebrate the life and work of this phenomenal man, Liberty on the Rocks will host a night of remembrance, complete with a short video of Mr. Friedman discussing many different aspects of liberty and free markets, which will include a message from Mr. Jon Caldara of the Independence Institute. So join us as we raise our glass to Milton Friedman and his legacy!

Don’t know much about Mr. Friedman? All the more reason for you to attend! Check out this great Youtube video of him on Phil Donahue’s show in 1979. Poor Phil didn’t stand a chance against him ; )

We will have DOOR PRIZES, FREE APPETIZERS (while they last), and FREE DRINK tickets to the FIRST TEN ATTENDEES! (limit $7.00 value) You don’t want to miss this event!

After we conclude the festivities, we will head a few blocks down to Marlowes, where the Centennial Institute is hosting an after-hour get together with Arthur Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute. The first round of drinks is on them, so be sure to stick around for that!

What: Happy Hour to celebrate free market economist Milton Friedman
When: Friday, July 29th from 7-9 PM

When: Wednesday February 16,  6-9PM

Special Guest John Zuagg

Mr. Zuagg will be discussing his new and extremely unique book, which answers the question modern commentators refuse to answer: What path are we headed down that has people so apprehensive and what is the alternative?

According to Ethics 101:

Politicians on either side are out of touch and are leading us down a dead end path.  Are oppressive taxes, deficit spending and massive bureaucracy the legacy we want to leave our children and grand children?

The nation whose respect for freedom was the ideal of the modern world is now seeing that freedom eroded day by day.  But this tragedy does not have to be.  We can change course and reclaim what our founding fathers left us.  History will indeed record the choice we make. So why not be the best we could be?

Political Mock Debate

Topic: TBD

Open to All – Anyone is Welcome to Join Us!!

Are you a defender of freedom wishing to enhance your communication skills when it comes to promoting America’s founding principles?  Well there is no better way than to practice! So why not do it with friends before you attempt to make your case to others?

The “debate” will be friendly in nature, and will be made up of two teams and two to three judges. One main topic will be discussed and the goal will be to get members of both teams to consider how they would respond to these principles, as well as how the other side would respond.

Whether you’d like to participate as a debater, a judge or a member of the audience – we hope you will attend!

If you would like to participate, please sign up here.

Activist members of Liberty on the Rocks took a drive to Boulder to find out where Senator Michael Bennett of Colorado stands on the issue of “card check”. Neither Bennett nor his campaign staff was able to answer whether or not he would support private elections when organizing unions in the workplace.

The event starts at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday Jan. 6th at the UpTown Tavern, in Denver.

Look forward to seeing everyone there!

Hope to see you there!

Location:

The Uptown Tavern
538 E. 17th Ave.
Denver, CO
