The Orange County chapter of the Campaign for Liberty held its 8th meeting on Thursday evening at 7:00 PM at O’Boys on Fairbanks Ave in Winter Park. The Campaign for Liberty organization emerged from Congressman Dr. Ron Paul’s dynamic presidential bid, and has literally exploded in membership, not only here in the U.S., but worldwide.

The organization’s mission statement 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.”
