8/30 – Mike Beitler (Libertarian), US Senate candidate speaking 6:30pm – 8:00pm at Randolph’s Billiards, 19 2nd Street Northwest, Hickory, NC 28601. How small of a Federal Government would you like to see?  One small enough to fit within the Constitution?  ~ Dr. Mike Beitler. The Hickory 9/12 group is hosting this open gathering of liberty minded North Carolinians who are interested in hearing a senatorial candidate discuss the issues affecting our Federal Government and his plans on reversing the growth in government.  This event is open to the public, feel free to invite whomever you desire.

Meeting Topics for Discussions:

• GREAT BUS TRIP!! Great people! Let’s do it again 9/12.
• Is there any interest in going to DC on 9/12? (I already have 13 who are interested in going.)  I have not reserved a bus yet, and it may be too late to do so.  Please let me know if you are interested.  I will have a list for you to sign onto at the meeting tomorrow night.
• We need a committee of people to write some candidate survey questions so we can begin officially ranking candidates.  All part of voter education. Can some of us we meet at Venti’s Casa on Monday mornings at 8am from now until the election?  Venti’s Casa how serves coffee and fresh baked goods.
