Per The Florida Indpendent:

The Libertarian Party of Florida will host a campaign stop for Republican presidential hopeful Gary Johnson. The partnership is leading many to speculate that Johnson, a two-term New Mexico governor, may drop out of the GOP to run as a Libertarian. Florida Libertarians, for their part, say they would welcome the “anti-war, limited-government candidate” with open arms.

This spring, something special happened in Jackson at the Tennessee Values Summit. Democrats and progressive leaders from across state came together to discuss our core beliefs and plan a way forward.

The Values Summit was only the beginning. We want to continue this conversation in your community.

So we are looking for volunteers to host a Tennessee Values Summit House Party in their city and take action on issues that are important to us.

On August 6th and 7th, the Tennessee Democratic Party is asking you to join us and organize a Values Summit House Party in your community.

At dozens of gatherings across the state, participants will view portions of the Values Summit, including a DVD of Dr. Drew Westen, a political communications guru who will teach you how to more effectively speak about your Democratic values. Following the screening, guests will begin planning steps for taking action in their communities to share those Democratic values with friends and neighbors.

We need a place for folks to gather in your community—can you host a party? It’s really simple, and your host packet will give you step-by-step instructions and everything you need to hold a successful meeting.

Click here to sign up to host an event:

Yes, I want to host a house party.

House parties are a fun way to get organized, and they’re very simple. Choose a time on August 6th or 7th when you can open up your house for a gathering. (You could also borrow a friend’s house—or reserve a free public space like a library community room—if your home isn’t a good location for people to gather.)

We will help you invite other Tennessee Democrats, and provide the materials you need to make your house party a success.

We need places all over Tennessee for people to get together so other local folks can be part of the Values Summit. Can you host a party? Click here:

Yes, I want to host a house party.

Thank you for your hard work,

Chip Forrester
Chairman, Tennessee Democratic Party
