"Freedom Fest 2009 was a miracle. In
the midst of a recession and two
successive election losses for the
cause of freedom, you increased the
attendance at Freedom Fest 25% and
the number and quality of the
speakers was a feast for lovers of
free markets. You clearly are
offering a product that people want.
All lovers of liberty are in your
debt – thank you."
