Freedom Fest 2014
We’d like to let you know about one of the most exciting development in the freedom movement in thirty years: FreedomFest, “the world’s largest gathering of free minds.” Nathaniel Branden said it best: “I feel an electricity here I haven’t felt in years.”
FreedomFest has been called many things: A live Wikipedia for libertarians…a Renaissance weekend for free thinkers…the Trade Show for Liberty ….and the Disneyland of the mind. The Washington Post calls it simply “the greatest libertarian show in earth.”
FreedomFest drew 2,500 people last year, and is expected to attract over 3,000 next July 9-12, 2014, at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.
And if you register using the code FF14HACER, you can support HACER at the same time.
What’s FreedomFest about? EVERYTHING. It’s an intellectual feast in the entertainment capital of the world, a phenomenal three days of insightful and dynamic sessions on everything from politics to economics, finance to health, education to the arts, history, philosophy and so much more.
Robert Poole, Jr., co-founder of Reason magazine, calls FreedomFest “the most intense, rewarding, intellectual, create-your-own 3 day conference I’ve ever attended.”
Since 2001, the best and brightest of the liberty-movement have gathered together in Las Vegas (the world’s most libertarian city) every year in July.
It’s an amazing atmosphere, where speakers, attendees, and sponsors all mingle, learning from each other and discussing the important issues that threaten our liberty. And it’s a big tent. FreedomFest rejects the political labels that push people into boxes and stymies progress and discussion. We welcome all perspectives in a free and open debate of the issues.
Would you like to join this once-in-a-lifetime experience and support HACER at the same time?

This past year for the first time John Stossel taped his Fox Business show at FreedomFest, using their theme “Are We Rome?” Fox News aired his FreedomFest show five times! Stossel and Fox News intend to return this year.
FreedomFest has two co-ambassadors, Steve Forbes and John Mackey (co-CEO, Whole Foods Markets). They plan on attending all three days in July. Other regulars include Steve Moore (Wall Street Journal), Sen. Rand Paul, Peter Schiff, John Allison and David Boaz (Cato Institute), Nick Gillespie (Reason), Grover Norquist (Americans for Tax Reform), Dinesh d’Souza, Doug Casey, Charles Murray, Lawrence Reed (Foundation for Economic Education) and too many more to name. FreedomFest attracts over 100 speakers and exhibits every year.
Not only will you have a chance to attend sessions given by these folks, you’ll also sit with them as they attend sessions themselves. They don’t hide out in a speakers lounge. You’ll meet them in the halls and in our popular Exhibit Hall – a place buzzing with excitement and bubbling with ideas.
Think tanks and non-profit groups from across the political spectrum come to FreedomFest each year. Walking into the exhibit hall is like one-stop shopping for liberty. John Mackey calls it “The Trade Show for Liberty.”
FreedomFest promises to be bigger and better than ever this year, with a dynamite theme “Is Big Brother Here?” Have we arrived at the Orwellian 1984? Is the police state here? What is left of our privacy and our freedoms? See our award-winning 2 ½ minute video here:
Is Big Brother Here? – Presented by FreedomFest from Smooky on Vimeo.
This year FreedomFest has an exciting line-up of new speakers, including libertarian humorist P. J. O’Rourke, historian H. W. Brands, science fiction author and futurist David Brin, and economics professor extraordinaire Ken Elzinga, plus many more to be announced shortly.
FreedomFest is also planning a Big Four panel, “Can Think Tanks Make a Difference?” with the presidents of the four most influential libertarian think tanks in the world: Reason (David Nott), Cato (John Allison), Americans for Tax Reform (Grover Norquist), and London-based Institute for Economic Affairs (Mark Littlewood).
The producers of FreedomFest, Mark Skousen and Tami Holland, also planning sessions on the anniversary of World War I, current geo-politics, economics, investing, health and healthcare, history and philosophy, science and technology, literature, music and the arts.
And don’t forget the Anthem Film Festival, the world’s only libertarian film festival, presented each year along with FreedomFest. Three days of short and full length documentaries and narrative films with libertarian themes. Last year practically every film was SRO. www.anthemfilmfestival.com
You’ll leave FreedomFest energized, enthused, inspired, armed with a network of new colleagues and allies, and filled with new ideas and actionable information from the movers and shakers in the liberty movement. As reporter Terry Brock put it, “It really was a WOW experience for those in attendance. I heard that from many attendees.”
Plus, if you register for FreedomFest today, you have the opportunity to support HACER! Use the code FF14HACER when you register, and HACER will receive a 12% contribution from the registration price.
Maybe Steve Forbes says it best: “I changed my schedule to attend all 3 days. FreedomFest is where the best ideas and strategies are fleshed out. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

The Red Card Solution
Americans are torn between our culture of law and order, our desire to have secure borders, and our need for the workers whose labor fuels our economy. There is a practical, workable solution that would require neither bigger bureaucracy nor higher taxes, a solution that can unite us on the middle ground. That solution is as old as America itself: Let the free market work.
The basis of this solution is simple. Separate the guest workers and immigrants in the debate, and in the legal system, on two completely different and unrelated paths. And use the powerful incentives of the free market system to guarantee the success of the guest worker program.
The results will be:
*A much simpler process for controlling the border because most of the problem won’t be there any more,
*An easy path for businesses to find the workers they need,
*A simple path for workers to get the jobs they need,
*A safer and more secure America.
The Red Card Solution creates a different system for the vast majority merely seeking work in the U.S.
Watch this video to understand the red card solution and its advantages:
Non-citizen workers would be put on a different track.
A simple way for them and their families to legally come to the U.S. for specific jobs and for a specific period of time. It would require them to go through a background check and to return home at the end of their employment. It would give them no special place in the citizenship line.
Smart cards
In order to allow these workers to enter the U.S. and keep track of them, a new non-citizen work permit is issued. The smart card would contain personal information encoded on the card itself in a microchip, much like a credit card, and be “swiped” in order to cross the border, providing workers the ability to come and go at will, instead of feeling stuck permanently in the U.S..
Controlling the border
The Red Card Solution will help secure the border by providing an easy method that allows legal workers to go through a background check and enter the country legally. This will free up the resources and manpower needed to control the border, and eliminate the vast majority of illegal border crossings.
The private sector solution
The Red Card Solution allows private employment agencies, licensed by the U.S. government, to open offices in foreign countries and issue non-citizen worker permits following a required detailed background check. This program is paid for by applicant fees and businesses that want legal workers — not by taxpayers.
Tracking workers
Employers and law enforcement would be able to check the legal status of temporary workers by simply “swiping” their cards to verify they are allowed to work at a certain location. It will remain illegal to hire a worker not in the country legally.
Effective Law Enforcement
The most powerful motivating force is human self-interest. It is what drives free markets. The Red Card Solution uses that principal to create a system that will reduce illegal immigration, control the borders, and strengthen our economy. Once a legal non-citizen worker card becomes available, it will be the first resort of businesses wanting to operate legally and employees who want to come out of the shadows.

HACER Awards
Giancarlo Ibargüen Freedom Award:
HACER´s Giancarlo Ibárgüen Freedom Award was designed to incentivize work that promotes personal liberty in a way that is consistent with human dignity. It is named after one of the greatest businessmen and promoters of the principles of liberty who has ever existed. During his time at the Francisco Marroquín University as well as through his contributions to the Liberty Fund, the Mont Pelerin Society, and many other organizations, Giancarlo Ibárgüen has exhibited an unparalleled generosity and an accepting spirit. His openness toward innovation, his penchant for discovery, and his tireless, always optimistic work in the face of many a challenge (in his personal life as much as in his commitment to his work and his country) have made Ibárgüen a role model for our generation and for generations to come.
Past winners:
* Giancarlo Ibargüen Freedom Award 2016: Giancarlo Ibargüen S. (Guatemala)
* Giancarlo Ibargüen Freedom Award 2017: Rocío Guijarro Saucedo (Venezuela)
Network of Allies
America was founded by individuals who were willing to risk their life for what they believed in. They not only possessed the courage to act, they possessed the character to know right from wrong.
The disunity we see all around us at home and on foreign shores can only be solved when enough leaders stand up for what is right and enough people follow them because they are people of true character.
“United We Stand, Divided We Fall” is about the importance of shared values and efforts.
HACER and its network of allies truly embody the core values of personal and economic liberty, limited government under the rule of law, and individual responsibility required for making the Americas a better place.

Solidarity w/Cuban People
HACER endorses all efforts of the Global Cuba Solidarity Movement.
May 20th – Global Cuba Solidarity Day 2012
Global Cuba Solidarity Day is a time for the world to express its support to the Cuban people. As the people of Cuba continue to endure human rights abuses and restrictions on individual freedoms it is important for the international community to show that we are aware of these serious issues and support the Cuban people in their struggle for freedom.
On May 20, please join us as we raise our voices and show that we are concerned about the recent deaths of Cuban dissidents, as well as the constant harassment of bloggers and independent journalists, the repression against the Ladies in White and the frequent violations of basic human rights at the hands of the Cuban regime.

Special Projects
From time to time, HACER receives special projects to work on for other think tanks:
* The Economic Transformation of Chile:
In this project, developed by HACER at the request of the Atlas Economic Research Foundation and Libertad y Desarrollo from Chile, we created a news blog loaded with a large selection of articles in English on the economic transformation of Chile, a benchmark of success for the rest of the developing world to aspire, study, and hopefully emulate.
* Documentary Film: Return to the Gulag:
We translated the film’s script into Spanish and added the subtitles electronically to the documentary film “Return to the Gulag” at the request of the Freda Utley Foundation for the Latin American audience. The film depicts Stalin’s communist regime, the one that sent 18 million people to the concentration camps that were part of the Soviet Gulag system. In the 30 minutes documentary film you will see Jon Basil Utley’s search for his father Arkadi Berdichevsky.
