FRIENDLY REMINDER: “RLC of Texas Privacy Proclamation” with Congressman Ron Paul:

Congressman Ron PaulFebruary 17, 2003 - University of Texas - Austin

The Honorable Congressman Ron Paul is coming to Austin February 17th, 2003, for the Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas Austin PRIVACY Proclamation! The next generation of Americans will enjoy the freedoms purchased through the sacrifice of America’s founders and contemporary supporters, and not tolerate government spying through the PATRIOT Act or Homeland Security Departments. The government that failed to protect America from foreign attack by a credible, identifiable enemy (i.e. bin Laden’s Al Quaeda), in spite of trillions of defense tax dollars, should not be vested with additional Unconstitutional spying powers to be enforced on innocent American Citizens.

Event Details: 
WHAT:
“RLC-TX Privacy Proclamation” with Congressman Ron Paul 
WHEN: February 17th, 2003 
SCHEDULE: 

  • 5:30 PM – Private Reception with VIP supporters (details to follow for sponsors)

  • 8:00 PM – Informal Public Reception: UT Law School Auditorium 

Congressman Ron Paul wants to continue the debate on Privacy and he wants all Americans to get involved in safeguarding our heritage of liberty and promise of privacy from interminable big government snooping. It is the US Constitution -- and all the people who defend it -- that secures the American nation and protects its liberty, not the Homeland Security Department. 

You are cordially invited to attend Congressman Ron Paul's Public Lecture at the University of Texas Law School Auditorium.  This Lecture is open and free to all.  The Law School Auditorium is in Townes Hall (TNH).  The best place to park free is at the designated areas in Parking Garage 1.  Another good location to park free is at the designated parking areas at the LBJ Library and Museum parking lot.


    Townes Hall - TNH


    Parking Garage 1 - PG1


    Refer to Townes Hall (TNH) and Parking Garage 1 (PG1)

Directions to Law School Parking:

Going north on I.H. 35: stay in one of the two left-hand lanes as you pass the downtown area. The Interstate splits into upper and lower decks that meet again after the UT campus, so you will want to stay in the left, lower-deck lanes until the exit #236 marked "Dean Keeton/32nd-38th 1/2." You will need to quickly cross two lanes of the access road to the right-hand exit, a loop that takes you onto 26th Street (now named Dean Keeton). Stay right and turn right on Dean Keeton and cross under I-35. (Just follow the LBJ Library signs on I35 to reach Dean Keeton Street) At the third light, turn left onto San Jacinto, and take the next left into Parking Garage 1. Take the garage elevator to the Trinity Street exit and cross the faculty parking lot to the glass doors leading into the Law School.

Going south on I.H. 35: stay in one of the two left-hand lanes after passing intersections for highways 183 and 290. At the Airport Blvd. exit, the interstate splits into upper and lower decks, which meet again in the middle of town. You need to remain on the left, "lower" level until the 32nd Street exit. Take the 32nd Street Exit. Go straight through the light at 32nd and turn right onto 26th Street. At the third light, turn left onto San Jacinto and take the next left into Parking Garage 1. Take the garage elevator to the Trinity Street exit and cross the faculty parking lot to the glass doors leading into the Law School.

***********************************

Our Purpose:


After decades of New Deal and Great Society social activism ... combined with the rapid decline in civics and American history education in our government-run public schools ... mixed with a growing population of ill-informed and apathetic voters ... government at every level in this country continues to be too big, too intrusive and too expensive.

Founded in 1990, the Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas works to advance the principles of limited government, individual liberty and free markets within the Republican Party and throughout Texas. Our focus is on a broad range of issues, including education, taxation, property rights, gun rights, free speech, federalism and the proper role of government.

In addition to giving disenfranchised smaller-government Republicans a home by creating incentive to stay in our party, the Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas helps avoid a potential exodus to Libertarian, Constitutional, and other third parties, which would end up weakening our thin margin over the Democrats, thus opening the door to big-government victories from leftist candidates.  The Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas is proud to promote the GOP's smaller-government message.  Our limited government, individual liberty and free market ideas will win by inclusion.  There is strength in numbers.

While rolling back decades of government "nannyism" will require a great deal of public education and grassroots lobbying, the most important means of changing public policy is to change public officials. Therefore, the Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas works to elect pro-liberty Republicans to offices at all levels, partisan and non-partisan, in both primary and general elections.  

The Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas is committed not to just electing more Republicans ... but better ones, as well.
