Queens Libertarians (Founded October 6, 1994)

Join LPQC for a lively discussion led by Dr. Philip Schoenberg on the first four US Presidents on February 14 at noon, at our Astoria location, Stamatis Greek and Mediterranean Restaurant at 29-09 23rd Avenue (in the back area, menu details at stamatisrestaurant.net), titled "Four Founding Presidents Who Advanced Liberty." This address will follow its monthly business session, covering Queens LP planning and subcommittee updates.

Schoenberg describes the talk this way: "America has many Founding Fathers. Many advocated Liberty while owning slaves. Today. We will discuss four Founding Fathers, imperfect as they were, who advanced the cause of liberty. They created a new, the United States of America, based upon the concept. These Founding Fathers had aspirations that the USA would become a shining city on a hill as a shining example of liberty as we Americans all strive to perfect their vision for all."
