Don’t forget tonight’s “bonus” meetup will replace a 1st Monday of September meetup (Labor Day holiday).
Besides our future leaders forum, we are also pleased to be hosting Liberty on Tour’s Pete Eyre and Adam Mueller, fresh off an “encounter” with the Denver Police Department! More about their experience can be found at ColoradoFreedom.net, or hear it from the proverbial “horse’s mouth” at Old Chicago’s rooftop patio (145 Union Boulevard, Lakewood, CO) tonight from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
NOTE: We’re swapping out the first Monday in September, Labor Day, for a “bonus” meetup, August 30th. NO LABOR DAY (9/6) MEETUP! We will meet August 30th, then the following meetup will be the 3rd Monday in September, 9/20.

It’s always encouraging to see people standing up for our inalienable right to liberty (and life and the pursuit of happiness too, of course), and it was with great pleasure Liberty on the Rocks (Red Rocks) welcomed Tisha Casida and Steve Thompson of The Good American Post at our August 16th meetup.
This on-line and print new media venture is a great source for liberty-related political news and views, as well as being a community resource for other life and pursuit of happiness topics, featuring works on arts, cultural events, and lifestyle.
Be sure to check out The Good American Post online, and look for their free print editions at select liberty events!

Join voices with others seeking to restore fiscal sanity and attend the rally this Saturday, noon to 2:00 pm at Denver City Park, for a FEDERAL Balanced Budget Amendment. Seriously, federal spending is so out of control, the numbers are so huge, the House will not publish a budget this (election) year!
Video link-up allows Newt Gingrich, Gov. Rick Perry (TX), and rising star Representative Jason Chaffetz (UT) to speak along with local leaders such as Congressman Mike Coffman, Bob Beauprez, Amy Oliver, Jeff Crank, Spencer Swalm, and college radio host/activist Jimmy Sengenberger. Tickets start at just $5.00 and are available on-line.

July 5th’s meetup featured Major General Bentley Rayburn, USAF (Ret) — a great opportunity for everyone in attendance to get a high-level military perspective on the state of the world and state of the nation.
While national defense issues are in continual flux, one constant is the personal cost to the warriors and their families. General Rayburn is President of The Home Front Cares, a non-profit which providing the following programs:
Grants to Families Fund | Assistance for car repairs, house repairs, childcare, evictions, food, and other family emergencies.
Energy Assistance Program | As an agency of Energy Outreach Colorado, THFC receives limited grants to pay energy bills for all Active Duty, Activated Reserve and National Guard, and recent medically released Veterans, living in Colorado, who need financial assistance. (Deployment not required)
Wounded Troops/Casualty Assistance Fund | Pays travel costs and incidental expenses of military family members traveling to visit seriously wounded service members in military hospitals. The same service is extended to family members to attend memorial services of service members killed in action.
Adaptive Housing and Vehicle Modification Program | Help for disabled military and veterans in the State of Colorado in obtaining housing and vehicle modifications necessary to improve their quality of life and to aid them in adapting to their disabilities.
Welcome Home GWOT Heroes Program | Started in January 2004, the Welcome Home GWOT Heroes Program has supported welcoming events for returning soldiers, airmen, and families along with Memorial Services, Wounded Warrior Socials, and other functions not readily supported by DOD funding. Welcome Home GWOT Heroes provides a link for local citizens to actively participate in welcoming home our Hungry Heroes via a partnership with the Southern Colorado McDonald’s operators. It also supports special needs for wounded warrior units at local installation hospitals, rehabilitative facilities, and the Warrior Transition Unit.
Phil Long’s Operation Home Support | The Phil Long family of car dealerships, in partnership with The Home Front Cares, helps to solve transportation problems for military families, through roadside assistance, rental car discounts and maintenance, service and repair discounts.
There is always more need than there are resources, please support the heroes who defend our liberty and their families.

The US Constitution was adopted as the governance documents for the United States of America on September 17, 1787. Most of us are likely not as familiar with the short but powerful document as we should be (link here for the full seven Articles, plus amendments, with references), and the resurgent conversation regarding the duties and appropriate powers of Congress is offering great opportunities to become better citizens, by becoming better educated about what “they,” the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Branches, are and are NOT supposed to be doing.
Hillsdale College is sponsoring a free, full day webinar broadcast of a live town hall event this Saturday, January 30th, on Reviving the Constitution. Link here to register, and if you’d like a peek at the schedule, here’s the pdf link. NOTE: IF YOU WERE UNABLE TO WATCH THE LIVE BROADCAST, AN ARCHIVE IS AVAILABLE AT THE ABOVE REGISTRATION LINK.
Our February 15th, (Presidents Day) meet up will also be centered on the Constitution (details to follow), so, go get your education on (for free!)
