Eric Brescia’s campaign to represent the 47th District in the House of Delegates is under way, but he needs your support to break Arlington’s one-party rule and help Virginia attain Freedom, Progress and Prosperity.

In the tradition of the Founding Fathers, come meet Eric and enjoy civilized discussion and fine refreshments with fellow liberty lovers. However, as we all know, freedom isn’t free — so don’t forget to bring your checkbook!

A minimum donation of $25 gets you in the door, but fun liberty-themed prizes will be awarded to those who generously give more.

Because we want to make sure there’s plenty of libations to go with the liberty, please RSVP to nick@brescia2009.com.
