Wednesday, December 2nd, Douglas County Campaign for Liberty will screen a free documentary film called For Liberty: How the Ron Paul Revolution Watered the Withered Tree of Liberty at 7PM in Woodruff Auditorium of the Kansas Union. The local group strives to educate Lawrence residents of government’s repeated abuses of individual rights and give them an outlet for action. The film highlights these issues which include secretive Federal Reserve policy, preemptive wars of aggression, and dwindling support of the US dollar.

As the 2007-08 presidential campaign cycle offered up the usual slate of Washington insiders, Ron Paul, an obscure Congressman from Texas brought an alternative voice that challenged the political establishment. This movement found a following in Lawrence and spurred the creation of a local meetup group, as well as a campus student organization.

Advocating a philosophy of sound money, a non-interventionist foreign policy, strict Constitutionalism, and individual liberty, Dr. Paul inspired a unique grassroots movement unmatched in American history - the repercussions of which continue to reverberate today and into the future of the American psyche.

For Liberty follows this historic campaign from the perspective of grassroots activists, and showcases the unique, often bizarre, yet groundbreaking projects they undertook as they brushed aside traditional campaign methodology. Supporters rejected mainstream forms of promotion, relying solely on their own creativity and the will to spread the message.

The Campaign for Liberty is a non partisan organization whose mission is to promote and defend the great American principles of individual liberty, constitutional government, sound money, free markets, and a noninterventionist foreign policy, by means of educational and political activity.
