Mark your calendars! We’re hosting a social meeting at Wild Blue Yonder Brewery in Castle Rock on Thursday, March 7th, 2024, at 6:30 PM. It’s a great opportunity to connect with fellow members, share ideas, and enjoy some brews and/or food.

We’re excited to announce that Ian Escalante from Rocky Mountain Gun Owners (RMGO) will be joining us as our guest speaker. Ian is a passionate advocate for Second Amendment rights and individual liberty, and he’ll be sharing his insights on current issues and the importance of engaging in the political process.

Whether you’re a seasoned Libertarian or simply curious about our principles, this is a great opportunity to:

Network with fellow freedom-loving individuals.
Learn from a prominent voice in the Second Amendment movement.
Enjoy drinks, food, and good company in a relaxed setting.
Discuss current events and the Libertarian perspective.
Get involved in local activism and volunteer opportunities.

Spread the word! Feel free to share this invitation with other friends and family who may be interested in learning more about the Libertarian Party or are interested in RMGO and our Second Amendment rights.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Sincerely,

The Douglas County Libertarian Party

But who will clean (next to) the roads? We will. Please join us this Saturday at 9am-11am for our quarterly road clean-up where we give back to the community of Parker by volunteering to do this dirty but fun work.

Meet us in the Kneader’s parking lot in downtown Parker- 19190 E Main Street Parker, CO 80134. From there, we will walk along Parker Road and do our part for the environment. See? People can do good, selfless things for the community without the force of the state!

Trash bags, pokers, and safety vests will be provided. Be sure to bring water, snacks, and sunscreen. See you soon! (for more information contact Wayne Harlos at 303-229-3435).
