Private Invitation to a
"So good I changed my schedule to attend all 3 days." --
Steve Forbes
Dear freedom lovers everywhere,
We are entering one of the most critical and dangerous
periods of economic upheaval in modern history:
millions unemployed, real estate prices still
falling, skyrocketing foreclosures, record gold and silver
prices, a 10-year bear market on Wall Street, and $14
billion national debt and still counting.
Overseas, we
are witnessing riots in the Middle East, oil prices
spiking to over $100 a barrel, and Red China
threatening our strategic minerals (“rare earth” elements)
and building up their military-industrial complex.
The natural disaster in
Japan
may not be the last.
The scary part is that our leaders don’t have a clue
about what to do about these threats, short of “spend, tax,
and regulate more.”
Like kids with a new chemistry set, they don’t know
if their latest experiment (Quantitative Easing II) will be
a dud or explode in our faces.
Meanwhile, overseas they continue to fight an
ever-more elusive enemy, costing us trillions of dollars.
What to do?
Every year
the "best and the brightest" in the freedom movement gather
for a private conference
that has the answers, both for our nation and your financial
well-being. I
am asking you to attend with me.
It’s called FreedomFest, “the world’s largest
gathering of free minds,” and this year it’s scheduled
for July 14-16, 2011, at Bally’s Events Center.
This time we are holding an emergency meeting
on July 14 (Bastille Day!) to address the growing fear of
total chaos in the world economy due to the lack of
leadership in America.
I and other top libertarian and conservative leaders
will be gathering for this special event -- and I’m inviting
YOU to join me.
The speakers at this special emergency meeting at
FreedomFest reads like a who’s who in the financial
freedom movement.
I’ll be joined by the following top experts:
Forbes and Mackey Become Ambassadors of FreedomFest
Special
announcement:
FreedomFest is pleased to announce that both Steve Forbes
and John Mackey have agreed to become our
official “good-will ambassadors” to FreedomFest.
They love FreedomFest so much that they will
attend all three days.
Here is your chance to meet this influential
leaders.
In fact, most of our speakers stay all 3 days.
Why? As
Keith Fitz-Gerald states, “FreedomFest is the
conference that even speakers want to attend.”
Incredible Success Stories
Several years ago, I created FreedomFest as THE event for
freedom lovers to join together from around the world to
learn, network, socialize, and celebrate liberty -- or
what's left of liberty. And we are growing fast. This
year we expect over 2,000 wealthy investors and concerned
citizens from around the world.
I guarantee you will think and live better as a result of
FreedomFest.
Thousands have changed their way of acting and
thinking -- one couple altered their estate and set up a
“job-creating” foundation as a result of a session….a
consultant landed a major contract with someone he met at
our conference….Investors bought a stock that doubled in a
year…a father brought his son who converted to free-market
economics (at the end of the show, he said, “Dad, promise me
we’ll come back next year”)… and one speaker (Dinesh
D’Souza) made the cover of Forbes magazine because Steve
Forbes heard him speak at a luncheon.
Anything is possible.
We’ve even had a couple go on their honeymoon at
FreedomFest.
Other Top Speakers at this Year’s Conference
"I do not think I have a single adjective to describe how
truly monumental FreedomFest was,” stated Joel Stern,
finance professor at Chicago, Columbia, and Cape Town, after
last year’s show.
(He flew in from Moscow to attend.) “You had people
from such varieties in background it is hard to imagine
anything like this happening with any other organization.”
Professor Stern returns this year to speak on
“Emerging Markets: Danger and Opportunity Ahead.”
Plus he will
join an incredibly popular panel, “From Good to Great:
The Keys of Successful Leadership” with Peter
Thiel and Alexander Landia.
This was our
most popular panel last year, and we’ve decided to do an
encore.
Assessing the Chinese Threat
One of our
special sessions will be “The
Growing Chinese Threat:
Crisis and Opportunities,”
with Asian experts
Keith Fitz-Gerald
(The Money Map),
James Marsh
(University of Hawaii) and other experts TBA.

Comprehensive Three-Day Investment Conference
Financial freedom is a vital ingredient to our freedoms.
That’s why the American eagle silver dollar is
FreedomFest’s symbol -- of freedom and wealth.
Every year FreedomFest hosts a 3-day investment
conference, which I will be a part of.
This year financial experts include:
Plus Rick Rule, Van Simmons, Martin Weiss, Ty Andros, Frank Holmes, Bert Dohmen, Ron Holland and many others.
Mock
Debate on Public Unions -- Not to be Missed!
Every year we showcase our
big mock trial.
In 2009, it was "Capitalism on Trial" and last year it was
"Religion on Trial." This year the topic will be,
“Public Unions: Good or Bad for America?”
It’s going to be a blockbuster. We’ve now confirmed
prosecuting attorney
Steve Moore (Wall Street Journal)
taking on defense attorney
Thea Lee (AFL-CIO).
Star witnesses against the unions will be
John Mackey
and
Steve Forbes, and
witnesses for the unions will be University of Wisconsin
(Madison) law professor
Karl Shoemaker
(one of the protestors) and Connecticut College radical
economist
Spencer Pack.
The sparks will fly! C-SPAN Book TV will have
nationwide coverage, and you, the audience, will make up the
jury.
Professor
Spencer Pack (Connecticut College)
will also debate Professor
Daniel Klein (George Mason University)
on "Libertarian, Conservative or Radical Egalitarian:
Will the Real Adam Smith Please Stand Up?"
Plus we will have a big debate on
"Vaccines: Good or Bad for America?"
Sure to be SRO.

Skousen, along with MCs Gary Alexander and
Chip Wood.
These experts will be offering their latest analysis of the

first, a private VIP luncheon with Judge Andrew
Napolitano.
Steve Forbes will introduce Judge Napolitano, who will

News.

hundred guests.

when they walk into the exhibit hall starting with the
opening cocktail party.

Peter Studabaker and see him create money faster than
Ben Bernanke….test the knowledge of our own Thomas
Jefferson lookalike Bill Barker….

of exhibitors you can imagine -- “the trade show for
liberty.” It’s

Imagine walking into a convention center with all the
free-market think tanks and freedom organizations found in

call it “one stop shopping for liberty.”

Universidad Francisco Maroquin....News organizations

Bastille Day (July 14), this year we are pleased to announce
a special event Thursday evening at FreedomFest:

Marseillaise by dancer Valerie Durham and an
after-dinner talk by Steve Forbes entitled
“The Future:
Another American Revolution or a French Revolution?”
This
wonderful evening is being sponsored by
Everbank.
"For over 50
years, I’ve attended many conferences, but no one comes
close to putting together a gathering so instructive,
stimulating and downright fun as what you have done with the
FreedomFest." -- Lou Carabini, president, Monex
“My wife
Karen thought she’d spend some time by the pool. But no! The
presentations were of such caliber and timely that we never
got outside the hotel." -- Bill Wanamaker, Virginia
Saturday Night Banquet:
We Save the Best for the Last
Attendees rave about our final event:
the gala Saturday night banquet.
In the past, FreedomFest has had a George Bush
imitator that had people rolling in the aisles… “Yesterday,”
a Beatles imitation band that had everyone dancing all night
long….and Steve Forbes, Gary Alexander, Dave Phillips,
Bill Barker, and Mark Skousen appearing as
Founding Fathers in a shortened version of “1776” that got a
standing ovation, followed by dancing to the colorful
Pink Flamingos.
This year we
are planning a
Masquerade Ball,
led by the creative band the Pink Flamingos. Come in
your favorite character.....For those who simply want a mask
and feathers, we will have them available. Stay tuned
for more details soon.
I guarantee it will be fun.

“You
libertarians know how to have a good time with dancing,
skits, mock trials, magic acts, yoga, silver dollars, and

There’s so much going on at FreedomFest that it’s hard to
describe it all.
As Jerry Cameron (St. Augustine, Florida)
wrote, “I can’t remember an event in my life that was more
gratifying than this convention.
It was like having access to all the greatest
intellectual food in the world and you just couldn’t eat
fast enough to sample it all!”
As you can see, FreedomFest is a little bit of everything, a
Renaissance gathering of the true believers.
I’m one of them.
Come join me.
FreedomFest
2011: Fly there, drive there, bike there, be there!

Yours for liberty, AEIOU,
