Be a brush fire in the minds of men.
Through activism we will get the freedom message out into the public. Right now the public is under the impression that the two party system is the only option. They also have the bad idea that government can solve the problem, not realizing that government is usually the problem.
Our activity will hopefully change the perception of the public. We hope to expose threats to liberty. We want to present the freedom option to the public.
This page of the site is to help document past activism and organize future events.
We will seek organizers, participants as well as donors. Think of the founding fathers. All aided in their own way.
Second Amendment
The Sangamon County Libertarian Party is organizing activists to push local politicians to back pro 2nd amendment statements. We are in the planning stages right now.
As you know, free people are armed, Slaves are not. Hitler, Stalin and Mao demonstrated the danger a disarmed public could face from a powerful centralized government.
A well armed public can also aid in the diminishing of crime. When was the last time you heard of any problems at a gun show?
Please contact us if you are interested in assisting in this area.
Operation politically homeless
The local chapter is now in possession of this kit from the Advocates of Self Government. It is a valuable recruiting aid and will be made available to any activist upon request. This instrument of liberty was made by generous donors like you. For more on this kit you can go to the link here.
Liberty Awards
The SCLP wishes to recognize locals who advance freedom in our community. They do not have to be members of the SCLP. If you notice a person fighting for freedom please let us know. We wish to recognize their efforts with our Liberty Award. The award can be given to the recipient publicly or anonymously.
SCLP Officer Elections
The SCLP will be having officer elections October 13th at 6pm!! Time and talent are needed. If you are interested please attend. The nominations and elections will be held that night.
Donations
Donations equal activism. Your generosity will fund activities here.
Some have more time than money, others have more money than time. All aid in their own way and ability. The same was done by our Founders. Our current total is $235.00. Once again, that is 12 trillion more than the government. It was also raised by volunteer donations!!!!
We have also been gifted tables, chairs, office supplies, web access, banners plus volunteer time. Thanks to all!!!!
Person to Person
Please defend liberty in public. Talk to your neighbor. Talk to your local politician and/or police officer. Be an Ambassador. Your conversation will spread the concept of freedom.
Got Banners!
The local chapter has acquired a banner for our activists. We are in the process of acquiring one or two more as well. It is important to get our name out into the public, especially at the beginning stages of our organization. This tool will be made available for any activist looking to get exposure for our party at public events. Branding is important.
The SCLP is also developing low cost advertising ideas. Such as pens with funny liberty quips with our name, logo and website attached. Ideas and contributions would be appreciated. A 6 foot table and two chairs were donated to the cause. These will help at gun shows or fairs.
