Harry Browne dead at 72

Two time Libertarian presidential candidate Harry Browne died yesterday. He was my first political influence during the 2006 election. I was 17 at the time so could not vote but had to write a paper on who I would have voted for president and US Senate. I wrote about Browne and eventual Senator Dean Barkley.

I am a little less libertarian today then I was back in 1996 but I still am strongly behind limited government that is not meant to be all things to all people. The Democrat and Republican parties could learn a lot from the leadership Harry Browne showed.
