Despite the sense of lost freedom, an incredible ‘energy buzzes beneath the surface, and ately, has ‘been breaking out into the light. Passionate and talented citizens across the country are dedicating themselves to a renewed message of liberty and integrity. Here in Kansas City we began as one of many loosely-affiliated meetup groups across the nation, Each of us inspired by the virtues and values of our Founding Fathers helped spread this message in a modem way, supporting contemporary candidates who have carried commitment to the Constitution — traditional conservative values. LRP will have two arms of operation - one will be a 527 organization which will focus on supporting liberty-minded. candidates and opposing non-liberty minded candidates in the 2008 election and beyond. We hope to work closely with similarly groups in this regard, both local and national.
