Could the eye-opening reports on the government’s accessing all phone and electronic communications along with the reaction to the Boston Bombing be setting into motion a chain of events of ominous significance? What should Americans be most concerned about?

You are cordially invited to join with us for a special evening, in association with our Challenge of Liberty Summer Seminars, as we discuss these timely issues.

Moderated by Senior Vice President Mary Theroux, the program will feature Independent Institute fellows Robert Higgs and Anthony Gregory to discuss the eye-opening revelations of systematic government spying on the entire citizenry including NSA accessing all phone and electronic communications, USPS photocopying the exterior of all mail, and the dangers posed to liberty and security by these and other such unchecked and unconstitutional powers.

Wine & Cheese Reception: 6:30 p.m.
Program: 7:00 p.m.
