Friends of South Carolina! I've been asked to expand the notifications of our meetings to the statewide group.
In the past I have only notified those who are within a convenient driving distance of our meeting. I was recently chastised by some friends in Charleston that they would like to know about our meetings, so, from this month on, our monthly meetings will go out to everyone on my list.
This month’s Campaign for Liberty meeting is a good one. Be sure to come and invite your friends! You don't want to miss tonight.
For a flavor of what the night has to offer,
see Russ Sobel’s presentation to a luncheon with Governor Sanford at this link. (If you look closely at about 30 seconds into the video, as the Governor is walking back to his seat, you can see your's truly at the very far left side of the frame, sitting at the Gov's table!)
Here is the lineup: Dr. Steve Isom – Candidate for Chairman of the Lexington County GOP to replace outgoing Chairman Rich Bolen. Rich is stepping down to challenge an incumbent Republican SC Senator. Dr. Steve Isom is a Cayce City Councilman and a leading grass roots activist for sound money. Dr. Isom received degrees from Auburn University and Columbia University, NY.
Dr. Peter Calcagno – Editor of “Unleashing Capitalism in SC”, Professor of Economics at the College of Charleston. Dr. Calcagno earned his BS from Hillsdale College and his PhD at Auburn. He is an adjunct scholar at the Ludwig von Mises Institute. His areas of research are public choice economics and political economy
Accompanying Dr. Calcagno is Dr. Russ Sobel – associate editor of “Unleashing Capitalism in SC”. Dr. Russ Sobel is a native of South Carolina and a professor of economics at West Virginia University. I repeat, for a taste of what you will see at our meeting Tuesday, take a look at a recent presentation by Dr. Sobel at a luncheon with Governor Sanford
here at this link. You'll really like this presenation on the video.
Deedee Vaughters – Candidate for SC Senate District 26. Mrs. Vaughters has been a leader in promoting government reform in South Carolina. As vice chairman of the SC Policy Council, she worked to expose and eliminate crony capitalism; she also has been at the front in the battle to bringing transparency and true accountability to state government. Vaughters is a defender of small business. As a grass roots activist, she successfully fought for reform of the business license excise tax.
I am looking forward to Tuesday's meeting! Y'all come!
Oh, and you might want to invite any candidate for state office and your incumbent state officers. These public servants need to hear what these economists will talk about Tuesday night! Dr. Calcagno and Dr. Sobel are great defenders of the free market!
