Liberty Sessions welcomes Author and Liberty Activist Adam Kokesh:

Liberty Sessions was formed by a few members of the Ascension Parish/EBR PECs for the purpose of spreading the ideals that the Libertarian party was founded on. Each month they take a single hot button issue and present the libertarian take on it. By first giving a small introduction to the Non Aggression Principle, they construct the setting for the topic at hand and get the audience to view the issue through the microscope of self ownership and the NAP so as to come to the libertarian position on the issue. The goal is not necessarily get everyone to agree, although ideally that would be great, but to at least give  an understanding on how we reach our positions and give people a little insight on the principles that make up the “party of principle”. After a brief speech, Liberty Sessions breaks into discussion groups with a set of questions for each group to answer or inspire fruitful discussion.

So far, Liberty Sessions has touched on topics such as the negatives of prohibition in general (food, drug/alcohol, and guns), 2nd amendment, marriage equality, and marijuana legalization. Some future topics are jury nullification and the social safety net.

While Liberty Sessions has seen an increase in attendance over the last month or two, they certainly would love to see more participation from registered libertarians in the area as well as non registered guests. They advertise on Facebook mostly so check them out at: https://www.facebook.com/louisianalibertysessions

This month will be a very special one, at least in the eyes of the planning committee and founding members, as we welcome a special guest. Adam Kokesh is a well known figure in the liberty movement and has recently released his first book “Freedom” in which has been used as a tool for liberty sessions. They also have purchased a couple of hundred to hand out to our newly registered brethren. Adam was a TV show host on RT, ran for Congress in 2010, and is currently continuing his activism as a podcaster, author and currently is on a national speaking tour to spread the message of liberty.

Please join us on Wednesday, May 27th at 7:00 PM in Baton Rouge at The Londoner for what we hope to be a great event!
