Ron Paul Accepts Invitation to First National Presidential Debate on CNN

From the Free New York and Lew Rockwell Blogs:

“Ron Paul has accepted an invitation to participate in the first national presidential debate in New Hampshire on Wednesday, April 4. It will be hosted by Wolf Blitzer and will be carried on CNN TV, radio, and cnn.com from 7-9 p.m. EST. (Thanks to Johnny Kramer.)”

I wouldn’t vote for Paul or any other candidate as an opponent of democracy, but I think this is a great possibility to persuade and interest people in libertarian ideas and gladly support his efforts to spread the message of freedom. Maybe he’ll get attention for the cause of New Hampshire tax resister Ed Brown as well.

The Free New York blog entry is here the Lew Rockwell one here.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
