No Meetup on July 4th in Observance of the Holiday
BUT, for July 18, Liberty on the Rocks (Red Rocks) presents:
Up and coming young comic, Caleb Bonham, as our guest emcee for a meetup featuring party chairs (in alpha order) for the Democrats (well, they’ve been invited, but no response to date) the Libertarians and the Republicans. This meetup should be a great interchange about ideas and directions in this critical period in history, and also a lot of fun!
One of the LOTR mission is to involve and educate younger citizens about their forthcoming gift of debt, so we will be awarding a prize to the person bringing in the most new under 35 year old attendees. Let’s get more people involved in the conversation!

Independence Institute’s Justin Longo – Up On The Roof!
“Why Elections Don’t Matter…but the Median Voter Does”
Are you “Fed” up with politics as usual? Were you looking for inspiration from the CNN debate? Stuck inside a party box? Then it’s time to challenge the status quo of stinkin’ thinkin’ with our generation Y guest, Justin Longo, as he pursues his mission to convert the masses to new thought paradigms one-by-one.
Mr. Longo is the co-owner of Complete Colorado, co-founder of Liberty on the Rocks, part of the team at Independence Institute, and simply an Austrian economics geek. He is sure to challenge our preconceptions about government and offend the statists, so brace yourself.
If you read Hayek, Caplan, Bastiat and the like, you will probably enjoy a lively conversation with the likes of my paisan, Justin Longo. For more information about Mr. Longo, please visit:

Up on the Roof with a “National” Perspective!
We hope everyone takes advantage of this opportunity for an “off the record” Q&A with national, award-winning, CNN journalist, Jim Spellman! He was originally scheduled for our May 16th meetup, but had to travel out of town to cover the devastation in the south and the Joplin tornado. He is back in town, and we hope it will be a slow news period so that he isn’t called away again.
Over his decade of work at CNN, Mr. Spellman has covered homeland security, terrorism, and politics, and traveled extensively as a producer for Anderson Cooper 360. Since moving to Denver in 2008, he has reported extensively on the Tea Party movement, attending well over 50 tea party events across the country.
He won his first Peabody award for coverage of Hurricane Katrina and has since received two additional Peabody awards. Recent top stories include covering the BP oil spill from the Gulf coast and the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti.
I would be happy to hold a July 4th meetup if we have enough interest. Realizing this is a busy family and travel weekend, I will need your input before making a decision. Please email or send me a FB message immediately:
Would you be able to attend and if so, would the morning, afternoon, or evening work best. One thought that I had was to meet in the morning at a park in Golden, before most have family commitments, for a breakfast get together. Would anyone be interested in hosting a get together at their home? Let me know sacco@libertyontherocks.org

Senator Shawn Mitchell & Representative Robert Ramirez — Up On The Roof!
With special guest emcee Justin Everett, presenting:
“2011 Colorado Legislative Wrap-up”
Really? What a trifecta! Our dynamic, engaging, and talented emcee and a delegate to the 2004 national GOP convention. The always debonair Justin Everett has pulled together a special team (a seasoned vet from the Senate, along with a political “newbie” from the House) to bring you the highlights and low lights of another legislative session soon to come to a close.
Senator Mitchell is a Senior Fellow of the Independence Institute, president of the Colorado chapter of the Federalist Society, and a favorite of Liberty. This multi-talented senator is not only an intellectual and amazingly quick witted, but he is most certainly destined for higher office (Run Shawn Run!). Senator Mitchell has consistently fought for fiscal conservatism and smaller government on behalf of his Colorado constituents since being elected into the state house in 1999.
Representative Ramirez, a Jersey boy, Eagle Scout, and entrepreneur, served our country in the Navy and is currently a “shake ‘em up” freshman Colorado legislator. He sits on the House Transportation and Education committees. (Rep. Ramirez also generously contributed a way cool campaign jacket to our Liberty holiday fund raising event held this past December).
This should be another amazing Liberty meetup. Think sunshine and let’s hope for our first happy hour on the roof top patio this year!

Education’s “Rocket Man” — Randy DeHoff – Up On The Roof!
April 18, 2011
Tax day cometh, and what better way to put it behind you than to meet with friends at the hottest “educational drink tank” in town! Education will be on tap, as our special guest will be Randy DeHoff (who really is a rocket scientist). We will discuss online learning, 21st century learning, the need (or not) for bricks and mortar, 24/7 education, and a non-traditional calendar to name just a few. Join us for what will surely be a lively discussion about the future of education!
Mr. DeHoff is currently the Director of Strategic Growth for GOAL (Guided Online Academic Learning) Academy, a Colorado public high school. He is also a former Colorado Department of Education board member, former Executive Director of the Charter School Institute, and a strong advocate of real paradigm changes in education.
One other Liberty note: if you don’t know Big Government Gary, check out some of his recent videos

(drum roll please!) 2nd Anniversary Party – Up On The Roof!
“It’s the Terrible Two’s”
C’mon down for cake and let’s party and enjoy the NCAA championship game! The two best teams will be “duking” it out (okay, maybe not…), we will be celebrating our 2nd anniversary! Our very own fearless leader and Liberty Lover, Amanda Teresi, LOTR National President will lead us in a toast and maybe song (wink, wink).
Oh, and sure, we will probably have a few giveaways or opportunities for you to leave as a winner (or a whiner) SUCH AS a pair of VIP tickets to see Sarah Palin, May 2, in a Tribute to the Troops, thanks to our friends at the Centennial Institute and Colorado Christian University.
Last year we had 80 Liberty Lovers come out to celebrate (and hear our stereo speaker blow out!) Let’s come together to give ourselves a pat on the back for what we’re all doing to move Liberty forward, kick back, reminisce, and watch the game.
With a whole lotta luck, maybe we will even have some t-shirts with a new design, so bring plenty o’cash:) Be the coolest guy or gal at the rally when you sport and support Liberty with the best freedom fashion statement, the shirt on your back (and you better hold onto them because rumor has it, the President wants that as well!)

“The Great Androsphinx That Is Middle East Politics”
Up On The Roof, with Christine Burtt
Liberty (Red Rocks) closes out our dynamic 2nd year with our special guest, Christine Burtt. Ms. Burtt will have just returned from Egypt, and will talk with us about the current real world political happenings in the Middle East and boy, oh boy is she qualified to take on our Q&A.
Christine Burtt is president of a public relations and consulting firm, a political trainer and campaign consultant to countries and candidates worldwide, including the Middle East and Russia, a new media coach, and chairman of the Colorado Republican Business Coalition, which promotes the interests of small businesses (besides her numerous volunteer activities). I hope everyone takes advantage of this opportunity to get the big picture on Liberty!

Welcome Mr. President! A special Liberty Presentation for President’s Day…
President Lincoln – Up On The Roof!
“A Fireside Chat with Honest Abe”
Liberty On The Rocks (Red Rocks) Happy Hour
February 21, 2011
A special day, a special presentation, and the sesquicentennial of President Lincoln’s Civil War Presidency. Lincoln historian and presenter, John Voehl, will perform for us for about a half an hour (jokes and stories) before we open the floor for Q&A with “President Lincoln.” Not only will this presentation be interesting, informative, and historical, it will be a great family “civics” event for Presidents’ Day. We’re looking forward to what could be one of our best Liberty meetups yet!
Since this is a special event presented on the holiday, we will probably start the presentation earlier than usual, so plan to arrive no later than 5:15 p.m. or as early as possible based on your commute.
Learn more about our special guest John Voehl and our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln at:
