A Different Kind of Tea Party

http://www.dailypaul.com/node/97400


This Independence Day, July 4th, in downtown Philadelphia, there
will a different kind of "tea party." As you may know, a lot of
groups and organizations have been trying to exploit the attention
which the various "Tea Party" events have been generating. Everyone
from Republican politicians, to conservative talk show hosts, to
groups pushing this or that legislative agenda, to patriotic
Constitutionalists, and lots of others, have been vying for control
of the "Tea Party" phenomenon.

Well, this July 4th, in Philadelphia, there will be a very
different sort of "Tea Party" going on. I've heard that Michael
Badnarik, outspoken Constitutionalist, will be one of the speakers.
But the speakers will also include myself and Stefan Molyneux--with
both of us being devout anti-statists. (If any of you are not
already familiar with Stefan, get to this event if you possibly
can. Aside from being a very entertaining speaker, he is one of the
very few people who really understand what freedom means, and who
all the way advocate freedom.) I'm not yet sure what the order of
talks will be, but the talks will be some time around 3:00 to 5:00
p.m. My topic will be "You're Not the Boss of Me."

I'll give more details about the event as I get them, but as I
understand it, the event will be held outdoors, maybe even as a
sort of picnic thing. This will NOT be your usual substance-free,
mindless flag-waving fest. You will hear raw, unabashed advocacy of
individual liberty to a degree that is extremely rare these days in
this supposed "land of the free." And if there is any day on which
average Americans might be able to begin thinking about what
liberty REALLY means, it has to be July 4th. So I want all of you
pro-freedom "extremists" to do whatever you can to drag along as
many "normal" Americans as you possibly can to this event. You'll
be glad you did. They might even be glad, too.
