Liberty & Justice for All was the name of my show in the Travis County Libertarian Party's weekly series, Live & Let Live. That series is on Austin cable channel 10 from 8:00 to 9:00 every Saturday night. From January 2001 to February 2005 I had the regular second-Saturday show in that series.
However, in 2005 I changed party affiliations, from the Libertarian Party to the Green Party, so I am no longer a host on the series. I'm leaving this record of the shows I created on the web site, partly for the history they reflect and partly to give you an idea of the kinds of issues that I consider important in this country.
Some of the "Date" items in the list are hyptertext links to the "News of the Month" segment of that month's show. Although there was a "News of the Month" segment in every show, I only started saving them with the outbreak of King George II's llegal war of terrorism on the people of Afghanistan and his progressive denial of our Constitutional rights, using September 11 as justification (even though CheneyBushCorp was a major player in making that happen).
