Notice to other like minded 

The Sangamon County Libertarians are now officially formed. The Illinois Libertarian Party recognized this Chapter November 19th, 2009. The local party has doubled since forming. It has started a Web page and a Facebook site. We have done a series of press releases advocating freedom.

  We have reached out to other like minded friend groups. We hope to grow liberty in this community. Thanks to everyone for helping freedom grow. We are looking for a new place for the monthly meetings. Please remember, Rome was not built in a day and Oak trees don't get big over night.

 We need people to contribute in any way possible. Writing, editing, money, time, contacts, ideas etc. Please write an article for the web site and we will add it. Contact  the news and put the Libertarian meme into the community. By the way did I mention editing??? Please help!!

 We know that your talent is waiting to be unleashed. Please help people discover the idea of freedom. They have seen enough of regulation and control. The soil is prepared to plant the seed of liberty.

Events so far this year:

January: Made plans to participate in a non-intervention rally. We planned to do some sort of 2nd Amendment action and planned how to grow our numbers. We hoped to get some sort of presence at the IL State Fair. Press releases were made in protest to forced blood draws in our county. We reached out to members in the law enforcement community about this issue. We were published by two national sites. We received our first cash donations totaling $50.

February: Had our first meeting with a state wide candidate - Lex Green (for Governor). For a new group we had a very strong turnout in the twenties. A press release was published by the nationally renowned Freedom's Phoenix. Received another $25 donation. The peace chest is up to $75.

March: Participation in a non-intervention rally (organized by local Activist Greg Bishop). Two state wide libertarian candidates spoke and a third was in attendance. A Constitution Candidate for Senator and two Green Party Candidates were there as well. The turnout was very positive considering the weather. Press Releases were published by Freedom's Phoenix. Another local activist was inspired by the activity and is in the process of organizing a Political Action Committee. A donation was given to the SCLP of $20. The Peace Chest is up to $95.

A advertising donation was made for a local high school event. The SCLP was advertised at an event that had hundreds of people in attendance.

April: We received another donation of $20. Putting our treasury at $115.

On April 3rd, Lex Green and the SCLP attended a local MMA event with over a 1,000 in attendance. Literature was dispensed. Scot Ward was recognized for his efforts at Liberty. Lex got to give a short speech.

On April 5th, the SCLP - McClean LP and Lex Green attended the Tea Party in Springfield. Signatures were gathered and the LP was argued for.

We received another donation of $25.00, putting our total at  $140.00. We still have not spent a penny of donated money.

Our press releases and other communications have been published on other national websites such as : Freedom's Phoenix, Stop the Lie and the Burning Platform.
