David Boaz and Bob Barr on the Libertarian Impact on the Upcoming Election

Tonight marks the second major libertarian event of the year, and it's only October 2nd- very encouraging! This is a perfect illustration of the potential of the Philadelphia Forum for Freedom. It was going to be difficult for any single school to organize and host this event individually, but together, students from Penn, Drexel, and Temple were able to bring into being something great that could not have happened otherwise. Here is a description of the event:

"On October 2, barely a month before the presidential election, the National Constitution Center will host a public event about the impact of libertarian and independent voters on the 2008 presidential race. The Cato Institute’s Executive Vice President, David Boaz, and Bob Barr, former U.S Congressman and current Libertarian Party presidential nominee, will explain libertarian perspectives and ideas, and then address the crucial role that will be played on election day by millions of voters in the U.S. today who are either fully libertarian or who view many key issues from a libertarian standpoint."

After the speaking event, David Boaz will be spending the evening watching and discussing the VP debates at Drexel's Ross Commons with students from Penn, Drexel, and Temple.

This will be an exceptional opportunity for students to interact with influential members of the libertarian world in an informal, intimate setting discussing and debating all of the relevant issues of our time.

Stay tuned for pictures and details of the event!
