About the Author.

Index.

"In your heart, you know he's right. Channeling Barry Goldwater for
a modern audience, Root does a great job of adapting his mentor's
classic for 21st century America. My guess is that the principles
of Goldwater, shepherded by Root, will be a benchmark for reform in
this age of political and economic crisis."

---Peter Schiff, President, Euro Pacific Capital,
Author of Best-Seller "Crash Proof"

"Root takes no prisoners, leaves no doubt how the disaster came
to be; Root names-names but blames both Democrat and Republican
administrations for over-spending, inflating the size and reach of
government and creating a welfare state that is a form of slavery
even as it continues to bleed taxpayers.

Root has solutions. To me, he's the only candidate who's
articulate, powerful in presentation, and RIGHT. He presents his
views with vigor and clarity on every occasion. He comes across
great because he speaks truth from the heart, of America, to
America, for America."

-- Dr. John Hospers, First Libertarian United States
Presidential Candidate; Professor Emeritus of Philosophy,
University of Southern California

"Wayne Allyn Root (WAR) means business. In "The Conscience of a
Libertarian," he is declaring WAR on big government, big spending,
big taxes, big unions, big business, arrogant career politicians,
lawyers, lobbyists, and the media elite. What a refreshing change
to read the words and ideas of a small businessman, homeschool dad,
son of a butcher, and citizen statesman. This book is a must read
for libertarians, conservatives, disillusioned Republicans,
independents, and anyone who wants to cut the size and scope of
government dramatically, and return power to individuals. Instead
of just criticisms, Wayne provides common-sense solutions for
limited government, economic and personal freedom, and protecting
our Constitution. I can feel our Founding Fathers looking down and
smiling."
