Campaign
for Liberty rally Feb. 17 Local group to address financial crisis
The Campaign for Liberty will be holding a rally at Appalachian
State’s campus next Tuesday, Feb. 17, from 12 to 3 p.m. to
discuss the deepening economic crisis, as well as other important
topics the group feels are left out of mainstream discussion.
The event, called Rally for the Republic, will be held on Sanford
Mall, and will consist of speeches and information booths with
visual representations about topics, including America’s
economic and monetary problems, foreign policy, the newly elected
Obama administration and the Constitution.
The rally will then move onto the sidewalks of King Street, where
the group will continue to spread their message.”People need
to understand the gravity of our current situation,” said
Tim Reaves, media coordinator for the club. “They need to
wake up and do something.”
They will also debut an original publication, The Liberty Bell,
which will serve as an avenue for the group to disseminate the
precepts of liberty to the students of Appalachian State and the
citizens of Boone and surrounding areas.
“We want people to leave the rally with a renewed sense of
identity as an American,” said Cory Schneider, a recent graduate
of Appalachian with a degree in appropriate technology. “We
must all understand that without education and true participation
in our government, the American people will never achieve the
freedom that they deserve, but must earn.”
The Campaign for Liberty is a nonpartisan action group made up
of students and Boone area citizens that promotes at its core
the overarching ideas of freedom, prosperity and peace.
Composed primarily of Libertarians and Progressives, the club
seeks to build a coalition of students from all social and political
perspectives for the purpose of debate and education. Members
seek to restore the original American republic and move it forward
with new ideas created by the citizens themselves.
The Campaign for Liberty meets every Monday at 7 p.m. in Walker
Hall, room 309, on the ASU campus.
