@StephenMcMurra7 Hi Stephen appologies for the delay. They should start promoting them this week. Antrim, Randalstown and Glengormly. I would recommend the Antrim one as it will be a good extra to the talk.

@BelTel I had warned his employers last year when I tried to work with him....I even penned bullet point letter about the bad practices he was involved in. Gay Pride was a big issue for him amongst many others.

@ballinderryboo Excellent

@NatGeo Journeys meets @scotgeologist in the Highlands of Scotland.

[Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania @LPPAorg]

On this day, August 23rd, 1775, King George III issued the Proclamation of Rebellion, declaring the American colonies in open rebellion and escalating the path to war. This royal decree ignored colonial grievances, treating self-governance as treason. It united patriots in resistance, accelerating the Revolution.

The Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania highlights this colonial defiance, tying it to modern liberty struggles against overreaching authority. We stand against proclamations that suppress dissent, advocating for individual rights and limited government to prevent such tyranny.
