One of the major unexpected surprises of 1987 was the response to Freedom Party's 1988 prototype Calendar of Individual Freedom.

Researched, designed and produced by Action Director Marc Emery, the limited print-run of the calendar was originally intended solely as a year-end gift to our members and supporters in appreciation of their support during the past year. But as soon as the "gifts" were mailed out, the orders began to pour in. Before we knew what hit us, we found ourselves producing over 1,500 calendars which were distributed to respondents from all over North America and as far away as Australia and West Germany.

What made our Calendar of Individual Freedom so different from other calendars?

To begin with, various dates throughout the calendar were highlighted in either red or green, the former commemorating freedom's "dark days" in history with the latter commemorating freedom's positive days in history. The calendar also featured many quotable quotes by famous and not-so-famous people. Last, but certainly not least, as each month's page was turned, a picture of one of freedom's "heroes" was featured along with a quote by that individual.

The twelve distinguished individuals whose pictures appeared in our first calendar were as follows: Ayn Rand, Aristotle, Nat Hentoff, Margaret Thatcher, Thomas Jefferson, Walter Block, Ludwig Von Mises, Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, Colin Brown, Milton Friedman, Adam Smith.

Sorry, the 1988 Calendar of Individual Freedom has been completely sold out and copies are no longer available.

Needless to say, our 1989 Calendar of Individual Freedom is already well under production and will be marketed to a broad North American audience. (Future plans may include an international version of the calendar.) 10,000 calendars will be produced for the U.S. market, highlighting mostly American dates in the history of freedom, while another 3,000 calendars will be produced specifically for our Canadian market.

The 1989 calendars will be professionally produced on quality paper with sturdy covers. We expect that the calendar may become an historical event itself.
