Steve Collett

Update: The funeral service for Steve Collet is set for this Friday, Nov 1st, 2013, at 11 am, at Riviera United Methodist Church, located at 375 Palos Verdes Blvd., in Redondo Beach.

Friends of Steve Collett, the noted Libertarian activist, are commenting on his Facebook page that he has apparently passed away. If this is true it would be a great loss for the liberty movement. Reportedly he died at his home in Hermosa Beach, of unknown causes, after returning from the Reform Conference in Denver, which he blogged about just a couple days ago, here.

Collett ran for the 33rd District of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2012, garnering almost five thousand votes according to Smart Voter. Continue reading→

Judge Jim Gray and Joey Pedroza

A couple weeks ago I took my son Joseph “Joey” Pedroza back to UCLA. It’s a long drive and we got to talking about politics. He said he was a liberal and I had a good laugh. No you’re not, I said. And so we talked about the issues. By the time we got to his dorm he felt that perhaps he might be a Libertarian instead.

So today Joey stopped by the Libertarian rally at the Bowers Museum, just a few minutes from our home. We held the rally to welcome back my good friend Judge Jim Gray, who was recently nominated, at the Libertarian Party convention in Las Vegas, to be our party’s Vice Presidential nominee, along with our Presidential candidate Gary Johnson, the former Governor of New Mexico.
