Barr ’08

Dear Congressman Barr:

As a concerned American citizen, and registered Libertarian, I would strongly urge you to enter the 2008 presidential race on the Libertarian ticket.

The current socio-cultural climate and abhorrent political game-playing in America are consistently and pervasively eroding our country from within. Indeed, we seem to be moving closer and closer to totalitarianism in the guise of a nanny state masked by the banalities, platitudes, and empty rhetoric of the Democratic and Republican parties. The only salvation for individualism, liberty, and the true foundations of social and political justice as envisioned by our founding fathers lies in modern day the Libertarian Party. For this reason, I have been a Libertarian my whole life, and was truly elated to learn you were considering a run on the Libertarian ticket. I was a great admirer of your work as a Congressman, and have always found you to be an upstanding, honest, and truly decent public servant, a staunch defender of the core principles and values of this country, and an honorable ideal of what we as Americans should look for in our President.

I cannot relay in words how vitally important it is that America has a strong third-party choice in this election, and based on the ascendancy of Senator McCain to the Republican nomination, I believe that this is the first election wherein the Libertarians can capture the limelight as long as we have a visible and identifiable candidate. The Libertarian Party had never had such a recognized and experienced individual as yourself to take the Democrats and Republicans to task and hold them accountable for what they have put this great country through for the past 60 years. Therefore, I would urge you, sir, to pursue this candidacy wholeheartedly. If we work together as a united party, we can restore this nation to the pinnacle of freedom and a model of liberty for the entire world.

I look forward to your candidacy.

Yours Faithfully and Sincerely,
William J. Banks, Esq.
