VALLEY FORGE, PA – During the past few days I attended the Campaign for Liberty’s Northeast Regional Conference in Valley Forge, PA (here’s a short video showing our crazy space/spaceship-themed room). Though MHD didn’t have an exhibitor booth I ran into many friends who introduced me to others as “Pete from Motorhome Diaires” which was a good opportunity to tell folks about our project.

In addition to grassroots training on the agenda were Ron Paul, Tom Woods, Judge Andrew Napolitano, Peter Schiff. Props to C4L for making these lectures open to the public. While they could have charged admission at the door they recognized that they could better advance their principles  – individual liberty, constitutional government, sound money, free markets, and a noninterventionist foreign policy – by exposing as many people to these ideas as possible.

In the exhibitor area I saw many friendly faces including fellow Fr33 Agent George Donnelly who was there promoting his Free Me Project, Megan Duffield, Angela Aronoff and Cat Pratt who represented LOLA, Liberty Forum organizer and freedom fighter extraordinaire Chris Lawless manning the Free State Project booth, Liberty Rider Mike Maresco getting the word out about the Adam Kokesh campaign, Bart Frazier and his lovely wife with the awesome Future of Freedom Foundation, the principled Gun Owners of America and Tim Shoemaker, Chris Stearns and Allison Gibbs at the Campaign for Liberty table.

In addition to connecting with old friends (such as some of those from Drexel’s Student Liberty Front) and meeting many new folks, for me the coolest thing was getting feedback on MHD. And it was cool to see first-hand the number of folks from the area that made it out – the fact that 600+ people from the area made it to this regional conference and will make it to other C4L regional conferences is awesome.

And C4L is not alone in this but the Students for Liberty are holding eight regional conferences this fall, and while the majority of their attendees are college students the conferences are open to liberty lovers of any age. And for those not near one of these conferences or those unable to finance a trip to one – a robust, supportive community irregardless of geographical location exists at the Free Agents Network.

It’s an exciting time be active in the broad freedom movement. When the biggest negative is not the lack of growth or entrepreneurship but not being able to know about all the awesome projects going on due simply to their sheer numbers. Keep it up! As our friends active with the Free State Project clamor for: Liberty in our lifetime!
