Thought for the Day – September 23, 2008
Aaron Russo, “Freedom Fighter” 1943-2007
In 2004, Russo announced he was seeking the Libertarian Party’s presidential nomination. Russo told LP News (February 2004) he was running because the United States is “heading to totalitarianism. I have a sincere belief [in] the Constitution and Bill of Rights as envisioned by Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Ben Franklin. Unfortunately, neither political party respects the vision of our Founding Fathers, and these documents have been relegated to the dustbin. I want to dust them off and restore them to their proper role in our lives.”
