Judge Napolitano's "Freedom Watch" Cancelled

It's a sad day for libertarians. Judge Andrew Napolitano's excellent Fox Business show Freedom Watch has been cancelled. The last few years that he has been on, the good Judge has been the most unwavering proponent of liberty on television. Check out the article on it here:

You know, what we really need is a powerful voice for individual liberties and a voluntary society in Hollywood...

"We both support the 2nd Ammendment..."

What a load of crap this is!

If Bloomberg supported the right of every human being to defend himself (I refuse to refer to it as, "The 2nd Amendment," as it's not the 2nd amendment that grants me this most basic of human rights), he wouldn't be imprisoning people like this decent woman:

These are tyrannical bastards with no love for their fellow man.

Great news everyone!

The IndieGoGo fundraising campaign to get me to Washington D.C. for the Veterans for Ron Paul march has been an ENORMOUS success.

I was helping a friend move all day yesterday so I didn't get a chance to check the fundraising page until lunch time. All I was really hoping for was that someone - ANYONE - had donated to my campaign. I about did a literal spit take when I saw that you guys had already donated $435! By the time I got done helping my friend move in late afternoon, we'd already broken my $800 goal, something I'd been extremely worried we wouldn't even be able to hit in a week! And now, only about 36 hours after I started the campaign, you've raised $1,010 for me! Absolutely AWESOME!

This is really good news because knowing how successful the campaign has been I'll be able to pick up my airfare today before it gets any more expensive and I won't have to wait until next week hoping the campaign will be successful so I can actually afford them!

But that's not the only thing on the great news front! My good friend Paul Henderson's College Libertarians group at Pepperdine University met last night to plan out their expenses for their trip to the Students for Liberty Conference February 17-19 (an event I'm also attending). Still waiting on all the exact details but it looks like I'll be able to room with them the first few days I'm in D.C. and instead of spending the $50 or so a night to split a room that I was hoping to spend, I may only have to spend about $20! So it's looking like there's a very real possibility that I'll have a few bucks left over from this campaign to put towards my next action-packed short film about the ethics of private, voluntaristic defense.

Before I go, I just want to give a quick shout out to all the people who have helped me get to where I am so far! I'll be posting a more detailed blog dedicated to thanking you guys after the fundraiser is over, but for now, HUGE thanks to:

Thanks a ton guys! I promise I'll do what I can to represent and keep up the fight!

Help me attend the Veterans for Ron Paul March in Washington D.C. on February 20th!

As some of you may know, I'm planning on attending both the February 20th Veterans for Ron Paul march in Washington D.C. and the International Students for Liberty conference the same weekend. Now, I'm going no matter what, but if any of you could hop on over to my IndieGoGo page and chip in a few bucks it would be a HUGE help to me as finances are tight and I have an extremely ambitious plate of liberty-themed film making before me.

Plus, my 22nd birthday is the day after the march, so you can consider this something of a birthday present for me! Even if you can't chip in, PLEASE share this with all of your friends who love liberty and support Ron Paul!
