Show Summary: There is no shortage of great liberty leaders in the United States with integrity, strength, and vision, but there is something standing in their way, the ballot box. This week we welcome D. Frank Robinson one of the earliest members of the Libertarian Party, chaired the Constitution, Bylaws and the Rules Committee at the founding LP convention in 1972 and authored the 7/8ths rule. Unlike Democrats or Republicans, independents and third parties have to fight their way onto the ballot in all 50 states. Only the judiciary can step up and overturn this arbitrary, irrational and discriminatory set of laws and statutes. Listen to find out how!
