Libertarian Party of Minnesota

The start time for the LPMN State Convention has been changed. The convention will now start at 2:30pm and end at 7:30pm. The schedule has been slightly modified accordingly.

The LPMN is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 2009 state convention, titled "Selling Liberty". This event will focus on how to position our party as one that serves and meets the concerns of someone new. We will feature speakers Pat Anderson, Edmund Contoski, and keynote Wayne Allyn Root. It will be held on June 13 from 2:30pm-7:30pm at the VFW Post 5555 in Richfield, MN. See the event registration page for speaker descriptions, event details, and prices. If you would like to help out with this event please fill out the volunteer form and write a note that you'd like to help out with the 2009 convention in the comments.

LPMN chairman, Bob Odden, has started a new public access television program titled At Issue. The first episode aired Monday, May 11 at 9:00pm featured, "a discussion about the state of youth in our school district and how parents and the community need to get involved in raising tomorrow's leaders."

Yesterday's 2009 Tax Cut Rally was a success. The LPMN had a table set up and were giving out information and spreading the message of liberty to those in attendance. Photos from the event are being posted in our Meetup group and our Facebook group.

2008 Libertarian vice presidential candidate, Wayne Allyn Root, has stated interest in speaking at the Libertarian Party of Minnesota state convention, tentatively scheduled for June 13, 2009.

Bills have been introduced in both the MN House (H.F. 292) and Senate (S.F. 97). Several committees will have to take action before the bills reach the floor. On Feb. 11th, the Minnesota Senate Health, Housing and Family Security Committee voted 8-3 in favor of S.F. 97. This is only the first in a series of committee votes in both chambers of the legislature, so it's important that you contact your senators and representatives now and let them know that you support this legislation.
