Barr 2008

Learn The Issues

It’s time to send a message to Washington and to America! The “lesser of two evils” can no longer be tolerated! Voters deserve to cast a vote for principle and, in 2008, there is only one hope for true, principled leadership in America and his name is Bob Barr.

Bob served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995 to 2003 and continually fought to protect your civil liberties. During his service, Bob uncovered wide spread government spying, placed the Sunset Clause in the USA PATRIOT Act and was a House Impeachment Manager that led to the impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton for lying under oath in litigation related to Paula Jones.

Bob was also the first to call for the impeachment of President Clinton by sponsoring H.Res. 304.

Since leaving Congress, Bob continues to fight daily for the rights of all Americans. Bob serves on the board of the National Rifle Association and works with the American Conservative Union as well as having served on the board of the Libertarian National Committee.

A Real Change

Bob Barr For President

Former Republican Congressman Bob Barr of Georgia announced Monday he is seeking the Libertarian Party nomination for president.

While none of us are disillusioned enough to think he actually has a chance, it’s good for America - and therefore good for all of us - to have a viable choice other than the three jackasses currently in the race.

Voters “want a choice,” Barr told a gathering of about 40 journalists and supporters in a small room at the National Press Club.

“They believe that America has more and better to offer than what the current political situation is serving up to us,” Barr said.

He said the federal government has “run amok fiscally,” the presidency has grown too powerful, and individual freedoms have “fallen into disrepute.”

Barr, an outspoken opponent of the Iraq war, said that as president he would begin bringing the troops home from that country and elsewhere around the globe.

He insisted he will not be a “spoiler” but said Republicans have urged him not to run out of concern that he will draw votes from Sen. John McCain, the presumed GOP nominee.

Barr said he is “confident” he can win the Libertarian nomination when the party holds its convention over Memorial Day weekend in Denver.

Barr, 59, quit the Republican Party two years ago, saying he had grown disillusioned with its failure to shrink government and its willingness to scale back civil liberties in fighting terrorism.
