Bob Barr is the Libertarian nominee for President 2008. He was the representative of the 7th District of Georgia in the House of Representatives for 8 years starting in 1995. He was a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, Vice-Chairman of the Government Reform Committee, and a member of the Committee on Financial Services. He is currently practicing law in Atlanta, Georgia with the Law Offices of Edwin Marger.
He is passionate about our fundamental right to privacy and our other civil liberties in the Bill of Rights. He has been nicknamed “Mr. Privacy” by New York Times columnist William Safire. He will fight to protect the 4th Amendment, the right to deny unreasonable searches and seizures. He will not allow privacy to be breached by the government.
His Energy Plan is to allow the free market to work everything out. He does not want the government to be involved with any part of energy production or consumption. He thinks government intervention hurts the consumers in the long run. He believes that more should be done to explore America’s natural resources. He favors off-shore drilling and drilling in the Arctic Natural Wildlife Refuge. He is against ethanol and other government-favored fuels getting special privileges.
His position on border security is that it can be neither completely open nor closed. Potential immigrants and their criminal backgrounds, possible communicable diseases and possible terrorism need to be checked. He feels that the US policy of “birthright” citizenship should not apply in all cases. He does not think that the children of tourists or of illegal immigrants should be granted citizenship solely because of their place of birth.
