Announcing the New

Start your New Year with fresh inspiration? Come to warm, sunny Phoenix, Arizona USA for the first annual libertarian Winter Retreat and Conference,
hosted by ISIL and Laissez Faire Books. We have arranged a great conference with a variety of packages -
conference program, lunches, dinners, evening reception, closing banquet, and 4 nights shared or single room.

Help Build the Student Movement!
You can help ISIL build a larger, more effective campus liberty movement by sponsoring student scholarships to this conference.
And get a tax deduction, too!
One reason to hold this early January conference is that university students are still on winter break.
No one else holds student seminars at this time of year. We can bring in promising student activists, give them information and inspiration,
and send them back to school for the spring semester fired up to promote liberty!
To make a scholarship contribution or to sign up for the January Retreat,
click here or call (toll free) at:

LIBERTY ENGLISH CAMPS
For years, ISIL has supported the Liberty English Camps in Lithuania and other East European and African countries.
These youth camps improve the English skills of high-school and university students, using libertarian materials.
Many students have themselves become camp teachers and organizers, and have become active libertarians in their home countries.
With the 2009 camp season underway and growing, the scholarship fund needs replenishing.
Help create tomorrow's libertarian leaders who may change the course of their nations!
Details on the camps are at www.languageofliberty.org
and at www.lessonsofliberty.org.
Tax-deductible contributions may be made via ISIL. Click here or contact ISIL president Jim Elwood at 1-866-686-7210 (9-9 PDT).

TO SAVE AMERICA
ANNOUNCING THE LIBERTY ALLIANCE
America is in crisis. Runaway spending, skyrocketing debt - with huge tax increases coming, a growing Big Brother police state, crippling bureaucratic controls over nearly every aspect of our business and personal lives, and unwarranted, bloody overseas wars - all having resulted from decades of malignant government growth - have brought hardship and danger to the lives of ordinary Americans.
But, crisis means opportunity as well as danger. There are signs of an awakening - from the surge in popularity of Ron Paul to the spontaneous nationwide "tea parties". But much of the rising anger is unfocused - or worse - misdirected, by people who are uninformed about the benefits and morality of individual liberty.
ISIL members and friends are creating a new Liberty Alliance to rejuvenate the liberty movement in America by building new student and community groups. Our planned activities include libertarian social networking, creating many new student groups, regional educational conferences, national social-action projects like Census Resistance 2010, and more.
We need your help to develop and use the most modern tools to reach the American people and inform them just why we are in this mess - and how practical, humane, libertarian ideas can solve our most vexing problems.
Click HERE for more details on current and proposed Liberty Alliance projects. IMPORTANT! Please let us know which one(s) you are most interested in helping, as an activist and/or contributor. Thank you.

THE GLOBAL WARMING FILE
Almost everyone agrees there is global warming – the question is how much – and how much of it can be attributed to
human-generated CO2 – and how much of it to natural causes?

Qui se serait douté que le sujet de la liberté soit aujourd'hui si peu discuté dans la langue qui fut celle de
Bastiat et Tocqueville? Les francophones du monde entier condamnent un "ultralibéralisme" imaginaire qui menacerait leurs biens et leurs privilèges.
C'est pour corriger cet état de fait navrant que nous proposons avec ce réseau international une bourse aux idées libérales, d'où
la voix de la liberté retentira aussi loin et distinctement que jadis. "Liberty ideas" (idées de la liberté) a pour but . . .
