Amidst the swirl of bailouts, buyouts, and sell-outs occurring on Wall Street, K Street, and Main Street, the latest talk in Washington and Chicago is centering on the notion that government spending – ahem, “investment” – and central planning initiatives (such as massive public works projects) will lift the nation into prosperity and create millions of jobs.
But, does history bear this out - and is there really a place in our nation for government intervention in private enterprise - or is it just a slippery slope that leads directly to economic stagnation and socialism? We will discuss this timely topic at our next Hope for America Coalition Kansas City Metro Chapter meeting this coming Tuesday, December 16.
Our meeting will take place at the Antioch Branch of the Johnson County Library, 8700 Shawnee Mission Parkway in Mission. (To avoid confusion, this is the “old” library just off of I-35 at the corner of Shawnee Mission Parkway and Antioch Road – this is NOT the Central Resource Library.) We will start with a potluck reception from 7:00 – 7:30, and our regular meeting will start at 7:30.
We’ll also be discussing and voting on our final HFAC Statement of Principles, we will get a Legislative Update about the coming session that starts next month in Topeka, and we will be taking a very close look at City Council and School Board seats in Johnson County and elsewhere.
(And, we will also be discussing our January HFAC chapter meeting, which just happens to fall on Inauguration Day – we are working on something ”extra special” for that meeting!)
We also urge all of you who are coming out to the meeting to bring a donation – be it cash, a non-perishable food item, or toiletries – to the Harvesters Food Network. We will be collecting these donations on-site and sending them to Harvesters, so that they can help those in need this holiday season. (Please make checks payable to Harvesters.)
And, we will have some really cool merchandise (bumper stickers, lapel pins, “Proud Member of the Old Right” buttons and lapel stickers, as well as T-shirts) available at the meeting. You can also go to our online store and order these items (and many, many more)directly from the Web.
If you have questions about the upcoming meeting or to RSVP, please send us an E-mail at freedom@hfapac.org.
We look forward to seeing all of you there on Tuesday at this very important meeting!
