This is my newest tattoo, the one I am calling “Freeom: Laws Redefined”. It is a cross made of 2 nails, with an 8 made of 2 more nails. Faith and Freedom are two of the most core ideas to my being – indeed, the intersection of those two ideas is what has driven much [...]
I first met Mike Sabot in early April when I called together a meeting of area liberty lovers to try to begin coordinating the area pro-liberty efforts. In fact, that was the first time I actually met several people, including Donna Driskell and Tom Knighton.

Again, starting with the ‘official position’ of LP-Ga from their site, followed by my own thoughts:
