about our
Lights of Liberty awards program

"The Liberty Bell is inscribed with the words 'Proclaim Liberty Throughout All The Land,' and it is in the spirit of this exhortation that I heartily endorse the Lights of Liberty awards! I urge every libertarian candidate, campaign worker, newsletter editor and activist to get the word out about these awards -- and qualify, too! Let's use Lights of Liberty to spread the word about the Blessings of Liberty to all America. "I'm going for my second Lights of Liberty award this year. Join me!" -- David F. Nolan, Libertarian Party co-founder, inventor of the Nolan Chart used on the World’s Smallest Political Quiz

"I like the Advocates' "Lights of Liberty" program. I especially like the attempt to motivate people to use the word "libertarian" in letters to editors. I feel strongly that we have to build name recognition for the words "libertarian" and "libertarianism" -- by attaching the words publicly to specific proposals, analyses, and ideas. Your award incentive is an excellent way to further that goal."  -- Harry Browne, 1996 and 2000 Libertarian Party presidential candidate

"The award I received… was instrumental in my running for Erie City Council. My award hangs in a place of honor on the wall in my home office. Keep up the good work." -- Tom Giles, PA

"Like a salvo from the flagship of Ragnar Danneskjold in Atlas Shrugged, here are three items published in Cincinnati this month. Estimated total circulation: 1,100,000!!! How’s that for Lights of Liberty?" -- Adrian C. Hinton, OH

"The Lights of Liberty Award proudly hangs over my computer. The Advocates… undoubtedly is the best place to learn how to ‘spread the [libertarian] message.’ Your work is much appreciated." -- Scott A. Wilson, CA

"The Lights of Liberty awards are a GREAT idea, and I can't thank you enough for putting forth these simple, achievable, and effective quantitative goals." -- Scott Kjar, AL

"Thanks for running the Lights of Liberty program -- I think it inspires us to get the word out and to do it in effective ways! I know the program was a good motivator for me personally!" -- John R. Pack, Sandy, UT

"What a great idea! Thank you for recognizing the efforts of active Libertarians everywhere!" -- Jim Brewster, Eugene, OR

"I am honored to receive the first "Lights of Liberty" award for public speaking. I think the incentive for the award will serve as an important tool for advancing the cause of liberty." -- Gene Donahue, NH
