IntroText	<p> <span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Join Ron Paul, Lew Rockwell, Tom Woods, and Jeff Deist as they examine police states of the past and present and present new information and analysis to help in understanding the political and economic aspects of police states, and ask if we are already living in a police state in the United States today. </span></span></p>
Description	<p> <span style="font-size:15px;">The Police State: Know It When You See It.</span></p> <p> <strong><a href="http://images.mises.org/events/Houston2014Program.pdf"><span style="font-size:15px;">Final Schedule</span></a></strong></p> <p> <span style="font-size:15px;">In the modern United States, federal laws are now so numerous and written so broadly and vaguely, that it is nearly impossible to make it through the day without breaking at least one of them. In many cases, these accidental infractions, when prosecuted, carry stiff penalties and prison time. Business owners are especially at risk in the face of federal agencies with nearly-limitless resources and thousands of laws and regulations to choose from when seeking to shut down or punish business enterprises. The situation is even more precarious for citizens seeking to actually challenge the power of the state. From whistleblowers to journalists to run-of-the-mill political activists, the risk of prison terms and heavy fines becomes ever greater. And through it all, an enormous government apparatus of prisons, prosecutors, police, and bureaucrats remains well-funded, powerful, and nearly impossible to oppose in court. Join us to discuss these issues.  <em>Special thanks to Christopher P. Condon, Terence Murphree, and TJ & Ida Goss for making this event possible.</em></span><br />  </p> <p> <span style="font-size:15px;"><img alt="" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PY58YkUsF1s/S13c3NCNK9I/AAAAAAAAKxc/3rsVi_Q6ycg/s912/CRW_3250.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 400px;" /></span></p> <p> <br /> <span style="font-size:15px;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.921569); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Large selection from the <a href="https://store.mises.org/default.aspx">Mises Bookstore</a> will be available for purchase.
