AIER's Bastiat Society of Nashville invites you to join us next week on Thursday at 6:00pm for an event with Wen Fa, Director of Legal Affairs at the Beacon Center of Tennessee.
The famous words etched in the declaration of independence recognize that individuals have the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Today, however, many government barriers prevent individuals from earning a living and using their property how they see fit. Wen has represented numerous Americans free-of-charge in courts across the country. He will discuss the importance of economic liberty and property rights, government barriers that stand in the way, and how Americans can fight back.

These monthly meetings of the Bastiat Society are excellent. The speakers are always engaging, informative, and thought provoking and are experts in their field. Many are published authors and highly credentialed scholars. Also, the people attending are intelligent, thoughtful and interesting people and the socializing is enjoyable. Also, the food is excellent! It is much better than the normal cheese and veggie tray one often encounters at fundraiser or political events and there is a full open bar. I highly recommend the Bastiat Society events.
