KENTUCKY LIBERTY SEMINAR A HIT

by Clint Hardy(8-6-01)

    The Constitution Party held a spectacular event called the Kentucky Liberty Seminar on Saturday, July 28th at the Holiday Inn South in Louisville, Kentucky.  Individuals came as far as Cincinnati, Ohio to hear some well versed speeches on maintaining our state's and nation's liberty.  Constitutional Attorney and Fifth District Constitution Party Leader Lee Gilbert spoke on the difference between freedom and liberty what they mean to us.  Keynote Speaker Norm Davis spoke on Take Back Kentucky and how the patriot movement in general is heading.  

    Comments and questions made by those who attended where informative and thought provoking.  For instance,  one attendee spoke about how coal and natural gas-powered plants should only be able to ship out energy to other states only after Kentuckians' energy needs are met.  The seminar provided a forum for forwarding thinking on such issues as solving energy shortages, and reducing restrictions to increase the trucking industry in Kentucky.  Other speech makers pointed out the excesses of government on all levels and pointed out how programs like the Vehicle Emission Testing is not cleaning the air in Jefferson County as promoted. 

    The featured speaker, Howard Phillips, Conservative Caucus leader, touched on what is occurring on the national level.  Phillips gave Bush a mixed bag of results, praising him for his national missile defense policy and disagreeing with his silence on China receiving the bid for the 2008 Summer Olympics.  This seminar gave a forum for constitutionalists to voice their concerns.  The Kentucky seminar allowed Constitutionalists to join together across party lines and learn how to maintain their liberty.  After surveying the crowd, the attendees of the seminar received their money's worth.

    This kind of event will occur again, Constitution Party organizers say, because there is a growing need for Constitutionalists to work together no matter what their party affiliation.  The Constitution Party of Kentucky, the speakers, and those who attended should be proud of themselves for their participation in this seminar.  I urge Constitutionalists from across the Commonwealth of Kentucky to attend whenever the next seminar is held.
