FEDERALISTS v. ANTI-FEDERALISTS AND LESSONS FOR TODAY

Tuesday, July 26 – 7:00 to 9:00 pm

Monticello City Council Chambers – Community Center

220 East First Street – Monticello

Why did the Federalists support the Constitution? Why did the Anti-Federalists fear the Constitution would give the federal government too much power? Professor Lee Strang will provide a foundational understanding of the debates between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists, what prompted the debates, what they debated and lessons for Americans today.

Professor Lee Strang is a Professor of Law, University of Toledo in Ohio.

This event is FREE and open to the public!

I attended Professor Strang’s lecture on the U.S. Constitution last year and really enjoyed the informative event.  I’ll be attending this one as well.

The gang over at Republic Now Iowa will be hosting an “anti-war, pro-libertarian” rally at noon on September 11 in  Marion Square park in the center of Marion Iowa (right across from the Democratic Headquarters).

According to Group Coordinator Brandon E.: “We are hosting our first Republic Now rally with invitations going to multiple personalities throughout the state of Iowa. Don’t miss out at what is going to happen at Marion Square Park on September the Eleventh.

“On September the Eleventh in Marion Square Park, Marion, Republic Now will be staging a political rally hot on the heels of an expansive flyering campaign in both Marion and Cedar Rapids.

“In a time of so much hatred and an increasing police state with cameras on street corners and intolerance everywhere you happen to be, a statement must be made that will show peace to a community. And this is how America will return, one community at a time.

“We will show up and gather, share our opinions, welcome each other as brothers and sisters in liberty.

“There will be a public reading of the Declaration of Independence and excerpts from United States Constitution. We will not resist or instigate any form of disorderly conduct or violence as we are a peaceful organization.

“We will show the city that our rights are disappearing and that only a love and respect for people of all ethnicity, beliefs, skin color, spiritual, and political persuasion will bring America back.

“We will also be addressing where our loss of Liberties may be taking our nation in the future[.]”

Constitution 101

Lee Strang, Professor of Law, University of Toledo in Ohio will give an informal class on the U.S. Constitution.  Where did the Constitution come from? What is its purpose?  Why is it important? How should we interpret the Constitution?  A question and answer session will follow the presentation.  The event is free and open to the public.

Anti-Authoritarian Night or Night of the Disestablishmentarianists

According to event organizers: “We Are Change and the Patriots are invading Pub Mitchell on Friday night, the sixteenth of July. Be there and tear the house DOWN! We will be spreading truth, waking people up to the two-party dictatorship, the coming new World Order, and spreading some general, all-around Libertarian view points.  Many different groups are represented with different viewpoints. Have fun and don’t put anybody down.  But I will say that this will lean more toward End The Fed / Peace Activism / States’ Rights as the core.”

When: Friday, July 16, 2010 at 8:00pm until close
Where: Pub Mitchell, 1100 1st Street Southwest, Cedar Rapids IA
