2005 Winners

The people honored on this page brought libertarian ideas to literally millions of people in 2005. The 2005 Lights of Liberty awards were given by the Advocates for Self-Government to libertarians who accomplished any one of these three vital outreach activities: (see program description for details)

• 3 or more published letters to the editor
• 3 or more speeches
• 3 or more Operation Politically Homeless (OPH) booths

Many of the people below went far beyond the minimum requirement for the awards, as noted beside their names. 8 libertarians even won what has been dubbed the "Libertarian Triathlon" -- winning awards in all three categories. They are:

* * *

* * *

Lights of Liberty letter writers reached millions of Americans via newspapers across the country. Lights of Liberty speakers took libertarian ideas to service clubs, classrooms, political rallies, televised debates, and more. Operation Politically Homeless booth activists met thousands of people one-on-one, introducing them to libertarian ideas at fairs, political rallies, flea markets, gun shows, and other events.

We hope to see YOUR name on the list of 2006 winners!

Congratulations to all of these outstanding activists!
