The Manistee Area Tea Party (MATP) will host members of the Northwest Michigan Libertarian Party (NWMLP) at their monthly meeting on Thursday, March 21st at the Bungalow Inn on US 31 south of Manistee.

David Holmer, Political Director, and Ben Schultz, Membership Director, will be the speakers for the NWMLP. The meeting will center on a presentation of the Libertarian Party’s mission statement, and their positions on the major issues facing voters today.

Libertarians just recently formed a new affiliate in the northwest Michigan area, and leaders and members are reaching out to various groups, hoping to find common ground and experience positive dialogue.

“Our country is currently going through a lot of political turmoil, misunderstanding, and an inability to listen to opposing ideas.” according to the press release put out by the Tea Party.

“This meeting will be an opportunity for attendees to meet with another political group and exchange ideas to get a better understanding of each others positions. Hopefully after this meeting everyone will walk away realizing that we have some positions in common, and can agree to disagree on other positions.”

For those wishing to come for dinner and conversation we will begin at 5:30 PM. The program will start at 6:30 pm. The meeting will be held in the banquet room at the Bungalow Inn on US 31 south of Manistee. The MATP meetings are open to the public at no charge.
