Liberty Inspiration Award of 2012

For the third anniversary of Liberty Candidates.com we have decided to honor all of those who have inspired the liberty movement through the voices of the many. This organization has always been about inspiration for motivation - we hand the torch over to those who were inspired by Ron Paul to spread his message in the political arena- and today we have given the torch to our brothers and sisters in liberty so that they may shine the light on those who have been there to motivate them. It’s called “giving back”

It’s been a very humbling experience to receive these letters and to read each one.

There are so many people out there who have been a part of this growing movement and we may not have known all these names before but we will always remember them now as the list grows day by day. Remember –we are all in this together and this just proves it.

We have received 540 letters with nominations for 175 separate people. Wow! Each and every letter is printed below whether it was one line or a chapter in the life of someone’s personal history. We have listed all the honorable mentions in alphabetical order and kept the top 5 nominees for the end. Everyone who received a letter is a winner and everyone who took the time to write a letter was a winner as well. In some cases the praise was anonymous and in some cases there was no signature so we cannot publish who gave the praise.

Thank you for partaking in this wonderful experience. May 2013 bring equal if not more inspiration to a growing movement of love, liberty and freedom.

 

Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio – First Place

Letters received…

Stefan Molyneux, philosopher. Molyneux's Freedomain Radio podcasts inspire thousands of people daily. Just when you think you've got the freedom thing all sewn up, he challenges your ideas and pushes your mind to deeper places. He explains how the world works in many, many areas: psychology, sociology, theology, and economics, to name a few. – CJ

I nominate Stefan Molyneux because he's a genius & tells it like it is. – IC

Stefan Molyneux would be my choice for this award. I am sure there are those who have worked very hard that I don't even know about. I have to say however that Mr. Molyneux has inspired my intellectual side and caused me to rethink some of my previous ideologies. Especially regarding statism and non-aggressive behavior. – Anonymous

Stefan’s' work is great and he is a real inspiration to many. – Anonymous

He is a great thinker, moral instructor and teacher of libertarianism and anarchy. He has changed my life. Listen to him or people like him, it's better than going to the university. -IA

I want to nominate Stefan Molyneux www.freedomainradio.com for the Liberty Award because of his RELENTLESS efforts to popularize the philosophy of Liberty and for his unique approach to raising the lowest common denominator towards a moral, non-violent, free, interactive, and therefore happier society. His efforts flank the most noble of ideas for social harmony, and his message and style reach through all age barriers, uniting in ideology people across the world. His message is one of hope, and is delivered in ways that are practical and effective. He has no equal in the complexity of issues he addresses. His knowledge and research are impeccable, and his charming, sharing ability, makes any drab subject a walk in the park, and fun - in challenging ways. Even my wife listens to them!!! And, did I mention HUMOR? Well, that is one of the most rewarding treats that he brings to the theater of ideas. Creative, not regurgitated humor. The world needs to know this man, his intellectual stature, moral integrity, knight of virtue, leader by personal example and introspection, a beacon of hope for frightened minds and souls, a shining light in the modern ideological dark age... and yes, there is more... Is Stefan Molyneux too good to be true? Not in my book of values. He is long overdue the Man of the Age award. Most ideological promoters are mere pep-talk artists or career inspirational speakers. Stefan Molyneux is not afraid to place his heart and mind in the vise of truth and cry with you, with empathy, sympathy, and compassion. He shares his trade, not a quick fix. He aims to heal, not to patch. Simply put, he is not a politician!!! Need I say more? What does this all have to do with the Liberty Inspiration Award? -- Inspiration is a product of the mind. Stefan frees minds. Free minds are the only way to Award Liberty to the World... Get the connection? -ML

Stefan Molyneux should be nominated because he inspires me to challenge my own biases. He does this through his ability to communicate complicated ideas in an engaging manner. Through listening to his lectures, I feel like my brain has been exercised at a mental gym. I don't agree with everything he advocates, but I thank him for getting my brain firing on all cylinders. - DS

I am hereby nominating Stefan Molyneux for the Liberty Inspiration Award. He is truly a man of virtue, integrity, and courage. He is logically consistent both ideologically and practically in his application of the moral premise that property rights, self-ownership, and non-aggression are the pillars to a free and civilized society. There is no one I know of, on and off the airwaves, who is doing more to promote liberty and create a free society in all areas than this man. In a thousand years and beyond, all persons will know of and be speaking of this man and his contributions to philosophy and the fundamental first principles of virtue, liberty, and freedom for all. -M

I nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the Liberty Inspiration Award. For each of our own personal journeys towards freedom and liberty-minded thinking we all have landmarks that resonated so strongly with us and became basically nodal points assisting us in keeping our baring in this wild, twisting landscape of balancing moral imperatives in our pursuit of justice. We look for a justice that can be applied wholly, a unifying theory. One has yet to be found, but it certainly can be said that some are working with more of the picture than others evident in the creative energies they share with us. Stefan, in my opinion, is one of the most free-flowing, tactical masters of this knowledge I've yet encountered. After logging countless hours into his work on Peaceful Parenting, anarchism and 'universally preferable behaviors' I still find there are countless more ahead of me before I really grasp what he seems to be trying to convey. The world hasn't yet been ready for Stefan's work, but it would seem his ideas are being able to take hold and his audience continues to grow in bounds, year after year. - Anonymous

I'd like to take this opportunity to nominate Stefan Molyneux for this award. As one of our preeminent modern philosophers, he has been instrumental in leading today's liberty movement forward in a way that would make our founding fathers proud. Now that Ron Paul has stepped out of the spotlight, Stefan, with his numerous videos and articles, has become the natural replacement as an educator and leader for the masses at large. His words reach out in a way that is not only clear and palatable but also drives the hearer to action. It is hard to calculate how many people have been turned on to liberty by a specific person but I feel it is very safe to say that Stefan is the most deserving person for recognition in this regard. -JM

If you’re looking for a candidate for the Liberty Inspiration Awards, may I suggest the name Stefan Molyneux. (I'm sure it's been suggested already). I've been listening to his podcasts since the beginning. In my opinion, over the last decade, he's done more to promote the cause of LIBERTY than anyone else. (I mean ANYONE). His presentation is compelling and meticulously reasoned. He pulls no punches. He's been an inspiration to me, as well as MANY others. - DV

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux for this year’s Liberty inspiration award. His consistent philosophical message of voluntaryism and his tireless advocacy for individual freedom has been an effective combination, winning over the hearts and minds of many statists and minarchists alike, myself included. His prolific presence on the internet and his continuous exposure through debates and interviews has helped put the message of freedom in center stage for many who had never even considered it before. – GS

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux for the Liberty Inspiration Award. He introduced me to the philosophy of liberty first through some youtube videos and after getting my first taste I fell in love with his radio broadcasts on Freedomain Radio. www.freedomainradio.com - SB

I think Stefan Molyneux should win this award. Without him I would be nowhere. - AB

G’day. I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the Liberty Candidates 2012 Inspiration Award. In my most humble opinion Stefan has done more than anyone to globally advance the cause of a truly free society. Personally, though I was already heading towards liberty, Stefan has cemented my commitment and given me the tools to argue the cause of liberty with those around me which lays the foundation to build and grow a free society. -HC

I'm nominating Stefan Molyneux for the Liberty Inspiration Award. His clarity of thinking, ability to argue the rationality of the arguments he proposes, the engaging way he communicates the arguments and the unparalleled dedication to helping as many people as possible access the information, puts him truly in a class of his own. My life has been radically changed and immeasurably improved forever because of the work that Stefan Molyneux does. His work is not only important to the furthering of rational thought and improving the human condition, but I believe is literally essential for the future of the human race. -MO

Stefan Molyneux - For being SO rigorous and presenting life-altering, mind shattering/rebuilding ideas. Many of us think that the work that Molyneux is doing (and the sheer amount of it) is going to change the world, truly. – JD

Stefbot lit the fire that broke the chains of slavery in my own mind. He has done so for countless others. Free yourself, listen to freedomainradio. –RS

I Vote for Stefan Molyneux for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award. Stefan Molyneux's ideas and passion have lit a fire under me to demand freedom in my own life. His leadership inspires me to go further than achieving personal freedom and organize with others to bring about long term positive change as a community. He has thrown his full intellectual weight and energy into the liberty movement. He even gives his books, podcasts and videos away for free to get the word out there and to cast the net as wide as possible. The approach he takes is alternative and complex and this is exactly what is needed if we are to achieve real, lasting liberty. He has spent 2012 gathering interviews from experts in their fields, hosting debates and discussions on freedom topics, presenting True News and delivering rousing interactive speeches all to better disseminate the roots of violence which ultimately make tyranny possible. For us to organize into a population of free individuals whose minds are unchained from the old dogma of obedience to authority, whose lives are ungovernable to any would-be dictator, whose hearts are warm and free from violence, this is the man we need to help us make that happen. –Tom

I nominate Stefan Molyneux because he is the most important person alive to me, as a libertarian philosopher, he's the only person talking about where the problems the world is facing actually comes from. Prevention is key and that's exactly what this fine gentleman speaks about. Here is his website http://www.freedomainradio.com/

He is quite known in the liberty movement and is inspiring a whole new generation of youth on how we could finally turn this planet around and fix everything, he addresses even the smallest detail and does it perfectly. He is THE philosopher of our age. He recently even sent all his books to me for free, because I couldn't afford them. He's such a great person. He deserves it. – CW

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio. Out of the many fantastic people out there promoting liberty, I believe Mr. Molyneux to be the most prolific, and the person providing the most well- rounded/all-encompassing approach to achieving liberty. He starts with the basic premise of child rearing: if we raise our children without aggression, then the aggression of the state will be as foreign to them as martian rocks are to us. If they learn that the use of force or violence to get what you want is wrong at home, then they will see the force initiated by others as immoral and intolerable. If we expect to eliminate the initiation of violence in our society from persons and government, then we damned well better provide the foundation for that philosophy to our children at home through example. Additionally, Mr. Molyneux spends hours of his own time each week (after years of study) providing us all insight, information from interviewing recognized experts, and debates with people on the morality of voluntaryism in the face of the coerciveness and violence of the state. The products of his labor, his many podcasts, roughly 1,100 videos and several books which he not only provides in PDF format, but also took the time to record in audio format, are provided for free... FREE... with just a request on his part for donations to support his efforts. Not only is he discussing a truly free society and free market with great depth, he is modeling the behavior he believes is essential to achieving a free society and free market for all of us. This man puts his money where his mouth is. Finally, more so than any other activist I am aware of, Mr. Molyneux provides listeners and viewers with tools we can use to help us promote freedom more articulately, to expose the 'gun in the room' of government, and enhance our understanding of free market principles to better counter arguments against liberty. It's work like this that has an exponential impact on the freedom movement. If all of these facets are not incredibly inspiring, then I'm not sure I understand the meaning of the word. On a final note, I can count on 2 hands the number of people who seriously changed my life just by meeting them or being exposed to them, and would still have a few fingers left... Stefan Molyneux changed my life. As a result, he changed my wife's life, and our children’s' lives. There are few people out there who are as thought-provoking, who express their ideas so articulately, and who take great pains to establish the foundation of their arguments on a moral premise, but who make it look so effortless. This focus on morality is, in my opinion, of primary importance to any paradigm shift we hope to achieve in society. - CD

Why I nominate Stefan Molyneux: 1) He has an extremely sharp mind to dissect all the mechanization of statist machinery and reveal its inner workings. He made me realize the concept of "Horizontal enslavement" by fellow citizens and that we call freedom is just "free-range-Tax-farming". 2) His invention of Universal Preferable Behavior (UPB), a tool to mentally arm yourself against the "ethics" of the sociopaths. 3)How early childhood trauma (violating the reasoning skills of children) creates more damaged people to accept the idea of exceptional group of people damaged 4) His vast amount of podcast focusing on what we practically can do now to promote and live anarchy in our daily lives. –Jacob

I'd like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio, he has brought many people to liberty and his arguments have clarified many a libertarian issue in my own head – JK

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux for the liberty candidate’s inspiration award because 'liberty inspiration' is exactly what Stefan is all about. I am personally living a freer life style by listening to his podcasts and reading his books. -PB

I would like to cast my vote for Stefan Molyneux, because his approach to the libertarian message has helped to change my entire outlook on life for the better. I am now much more focused on sorting out my own personal problems, before I even start to even think about trying to save the world or the country. I think a lot of us libertarians get ahead of ourselves in the political realm, and we need someone like Stef to pull us back down to reality and keep us focused on what's important, such as... Our own happiness; our children; our personal relationships; our careers, etc. His videos and podcasts have reached multi-millions with a very clear and rational anti-state and pro-liberty message. While there are plenty of people deserving of this award, Stefan has my vote. -CT

Hey there, just putting in my nomination for Stef. A very very long story short, I believe this guy to be one of the best philosophers in the past 200 years. Maybe even THE best as he has put forth the propositions that many people could not, given the statist and religious domination since, oh the dawn of time... The amount of shear time and thought and research he continues to do is just astounding. I could talk all day but Liberty is definitely one thing he stands for. –Michael

I would like to nominate the philosopher/author Stefan Molyneux. Stefan is an inspiring champion of freedom and worthy of the award because he is one of the few people I've ever heard who is able to breakdown to basics the tenants of liberty and freedom and to do so in a humorously entertaining way. -JR

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the Liberty Candidates 2012 Inspiration Award I think his podcasts are clear, morally consistent, and consequently very inspiring. –PK

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux. Although people like Ron Paul, Thomas Woods, Peter Schiff, etc. Have been incredibly significant in my journey and education it was Stefan who presented the ultimate liberty argument and finally got me to accept what I had such a hard time accepting, that true liberty is about individual freedom and voluntary cooperation. Even the best intended and smallest government still functions based on violence. -BHS

I nominate Stefan Molyneux. He has focused on the foundation of libertarianism unlike any other person I've encountered. Of course he also discusses the economics principle that are violated by government, but what other libertarians are out there doing everything they can to explain the NAP to people? The NAP gives people a first principle to deduce a consistent system of ethics that justifies the rest of libertarian principles and ideals. Without a consistent system of ethics, we're all just acting irrationally. – BW

I nominate Stefan Molyneux for the Liberty Inspiration Award because he has an original message to promote freedom. He is the only one I've heard in twenty years who addresses the link between what a person experiences while growing up and their attitude toward the state and authority as an adult. He shows the link between the family and the state. That is a very original and important message. -AR

I would like to nominate: Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Inspiration award. Stefan has reached a large audience with his radio show and YouTube channel and watching and listening to him for the last couple of years has really helped me to change some of my positions and views and become more liberty minded. I believe his talks are informative as well as entertaining, which helps me to absorb the points he expounds on, explains and gives arguments for and I've both learned new things about liberty, freedom and non-aggression principles from listening to Stefan as well has had beliefs I'd already held bolstered and strengthened. I very much believe that Stefan is inspirational and I think that his voice is going to help people explain to their representatives (and also influence how they vote) the principles of liberty and freedom, which we talk about cherishing in this country but most often don't really fight to preserve, especially when our (or more likely our politicians) self-interests get in the way. -MB

Stefan Molyneux (Freedomain Radio). Stefan brings the philosophy of liberty to the masses, giving voice to how liberty is the best path to peace and a brighter future for the human race. He is “king of the metaphor” and uses illustrative language better than anyone to help explain dry subjects like economics, philosophy and history to people eager to hear the truth. He connects with people on intellectual and emotional levels. –MW

I have to vote here for Stefan Molyneux as his podcasts have transformed my life and led to a huge turnaround in my attitudes. I've been propagating his material around the people in my life and its beginning to have an effect on them too. If it was not for Stef, I'd still be a foaming mouthed statist! Usually when I have to vote for something, if I have to email and manually type then I never bother. The fact that I have wrote this speaks volumes in praise! ;) –Paul

Would you please consider 'Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio' for the Award? I have not come across a more eloquent and entertaining libertarian philosopher and indeed he has inspired me to take on many principles in my own life. Besides, he has the most popular philosophy podcast in the world! –Michael

Best youtube channel - thoughtful, interesting, consistent; high quality programs. -Anonymous

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux for his tireless contributions toward peace, liberty, and enlightened understanding. -SB

Stefan Molyneux for 2012 Inspiration Award because he is a beacon of sanity preaching action based beliefs which are in turn based on information gathered using reason and evidence and peaceful goals. –Anonymous

Stefan Molyneux - For keeping an ongoing dialog about the philosophy that underlies liberty. -JGM

I am writing you to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for your 2012 Inspiration Award.

I noticed that many of the individuals that are listed on your site are promoting the ideas of liberty through political action so I guess Stefan would fall into the "other" category on your application. I think this gives Stefan a distinct advantage because he is operating outside of the violent system that is the state that we are all trying to free ourselves from. Stef truly operates in the free market; he is not seeking checkmarks in the voting booth. Instead he is inspiring people like me to effect change where we have the most power - within our personal relationships. We are not going to change the state by knocking signposts into our yard any more than we are going to change the direction of a hurricane by going outside and screaming at it. Stef consistently points to the gun in the room and argues from a moral standpoint, which is the only way the state can truly be opposed. I definitely had a slight case of Stockholm syndrome before I started listening to Stef, but now I truly see the state for what it is - a mechanism for enslavement. Nothing was really more liberating than coming to terms with the fact that I am a slave - which I do not own my body and Stef’s explanation of why this has come to be was truly enlightening. Anybody that speaks from a political podium is censored by the mainstream argument - even Ron Paul. In the anarchist Ron Paul's farewell address to Congress he toed the line as much as possible from expressing that the state is a group of violent psychopaths to a truly free society is one of voluntarism (paraphrasing). Stefan does not operate under this censorship and this is what allows him to speak the uncensored truth.

-RC

I nominate Stefan Molyneux from freedomain radio because he has been the most influential liberty orientated figure for me. He has taught me more in a year than I learnt in 12 years of school and continues to show me the way ahead to a voluntary society through peaceful parenting. He addresses topics many others don't touch and is much more self-critical than other libertarians which helps him hone his arguments to have the greatest effect. All in all I am a better person thanks to him and am leading by example which is drawing other virtuous people into my life. Thank you. -WF

My motive for nominating Stefan to this year's 2012 Liberty Inspiration Awards are simple and quite literal... He simply does inspire other people, I among them, with the ideas that freedom, morality and happiness are attainable, in the philosophic sense as well as the personal. Though, as he perceives it, freedom in the political sense will, alas, evade us for some time more, I hope that by nominating Stefan and help having him elected will bring more people into contact with his contents, and thus help bring greater freedom to the world. By making Stefan's work to the world attention therefore, I think you will do it a great favor. –TS

I would like to nominate Ron Paul, Stefan Molyneux and Tom Woods for the Liberty Inspiration Award. All three of my nominees work tirelessly to advance the cause of liberty, to include philosophical, historical analysis and the creation of educational materials. All three nominees are somewhat different in their approaches and in their cause, but one cannot deny that the three have been responsible for some great intellectual debate, thought and reason. I respectfully ask that you consider these individuals for the award and give much needed exposure and support for these very intellectual individuals. -RP

I nominate Mr. Stefan Molyneux for the Liberty Inspiration Award. Stefan is not only a light in the dark, not only a beacon of truth; he is a shining super nova for liberty. He is an excellent intellectual entrepreneur. He does more for liberty and with less than party politicians. He has inspired me to better myself and to end the cycle of aggression in my family. Such aggression fuels all that is evil and which stands on the throat of liberty. -SH

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award. No one, to my knowledge, has done more this generation to compose the message of Liberty as Stefan. He has over 2200 podcasts, over 1000 Youtube videos and many books for Free expressing the Philosophy of Liberty like no other. "Freedom" doesn't mean anything if it isn't clearly defined and Stefan has clearly defined the word and the philosophy. –JM

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux. All too often we as activists focus on the macro-scale wrongs in society which we, more often than not, cannot do much about. Stefan, in his emphasis of universality, brings much needed focus to our daily lives, our relationships, our children. Just as it is in our individual exchanges that the market presents itself, it is in our individual relationships they society presents itself. Just as we emphasize libertarian laws of ethics property exchange, we need to emphasize the ethical laws in our relations with our peers, and especially our dependents. Stefan's playful style harmonizes brilliantly with his focus: Logical and skeptical yet friendly and playful. He inspires his listeners to have deeper connections with those around them and to use their personal bonds to grow the ideas of liberty based on their ethical merit. This counteracts the isolating effects of the self- righteous condemnation we can be tempted flaunt and fosters a community of liberty initiates who use their empathy and understanding to perceive the psychic wounds clouding reason and communicate the liberty message effectively. His plethora of videos, podcasts, interviews, and conversations, I believe, will have a deeper and more lasting effect on building a stable libertarian society than we can know. - JCE

Stefan Molyneux is by far the most influential, courageous, and effective philosopher of our time! He has an acute grasp on TRUTH and is tireless in promoting the message of liberty, based on rational, philosophical principles. I cannot begin to express the appreciation I have for Stef and the positive influence he has had in my own life. I was on the verge of utter despair and while his teachings at first put me in an even slightly "lower" place, there was something hopeful about his message. In my depressed low, I downloaded two of his books and several of his podcasts in a desperate attempt to find meaningful "value" to my continued existence. His teachings helped strengthen my 30-year marriage that was in serious jeopardy. And while I still feel fragile, every day I am stronger to challenge the cesspool of societal violence at the hands of statists. This I owe DIRECTLY to Stefan's teachings. His popular Sunday radio show, Freedomain Radio, is like an "open-door" policy for anyone needing philosophical counsel. And his counsel is generous, genuine, fair, compassionate, always honest, and appropriately optimistic. Further, I see a significant trend regarding Stef's work. The vast majority of contemporary liberty-minded scholars and activists that I have found are well-versed on his teachings, and it is clear that Stefan has had a significant influence on them. (I am happy to give concrete examples if needed.) Stefan Molyneux leaves no stone unturned to expose the vile contradictions inherent in society's propaganda, superstitions, and indoctrination - that we receive from birth to death. He offers hope and a myriad of effective tools to those needing a hand to cope with the shock of being unplugged from "the Matrix." Stefan walks the liberty talk by living through example, giving away his work for free and living off voluntary donations from his students. He is a no-compromise advocate for raising children nonviolently and he generously shares his own experiences related to his relationship with his young daughter. He persuasively argues that at the heart of most (if not all) ills to society are violence in any form against children. Stef illustrates the complexity of issues using logical, clear metaphors in an ultra-gifted, artful manner. While there are many "freedom fighters" that deserve recognition for their tireless, heroic, and courageous efforts, none come close to the relentless, multi-faceted teachings that Stefan passionately conveys. He is not afraid to show his personal vulnerabilities; and his quirky sense of humor is refreshing and endearing. He is tireless, devoted, tenacious, smart, humble, extremely persuasive, and in my humble opinion, no one else that I know even comes close to deserving this award. At the fast rate that the popularity of his message is increasing, it is my personal belief that Stefan Molyneux will go down in history as THE MOST influential philosopher in the history of our world. The Liberty Inspiration Award will serve to draw more attention to his message. It is the most important message of our day for humanity. It is a clear liberty message of philosophy aimed to rescue humanity from itself. - LG

Stefan Molyneux, host of Freedomain Radio. He is an extremely principled man who surrendered his job as a computer programmer to start an online show. He goes as far as to apply his libertarian morality to his parenting, in which he refuses to use violence (spanking) against his child. He is an outstanding father, and an icon of intellectual and moral excellence. Furthermore, he has published several books (not copyrighted, of course), and founded a library of over 1000 videos. He does so much for the libertarian movement simply by being so ubiquitous. It is almost difficult to look for anything political on Youtube and not stumble upon one of his videos – JMW

I nominate Stefan Molyneux for the 'Fascists among Us' series alone. It's some of his best work to date--thought provoking, well argued, and unsettling in how it 'unplugs' the listener from the propaganda Matrix in which he lives. –AH

Stefan Molyneux should win because.....it's as logical as he is. :)  - GA

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux for all of his wonderful work in waking people up to freedom. –Olle

I nominate Stefan Molyneux for the award, for his tremendous success in spreading the philosophy of liberty worldwide through his website, for his contributions to theories of universal ethics, and for connecting the latest scientific research to philosophy to explain why liberty has failed in the past and how it can succeed in the future. -KW

I think Stefan Molyneux should be nominated because he is an amazing speaker and promoter of liberty, the non- aggression principle, and the principle of self-ownership. He has been one of the most influential figures in my life that directed me to Voluntarism. I used to be a huge statist...so I know he can turn people into lovers of liberty. So he has my vote. –Devin

I nominate Stefan Molyneux for this award. He's smart, prolific, and has done more for the evolution of my thinking on Liberty than anyone else. - JF

Stefan fits the bill better than anyone I know. While he may not have been the first to consider and discuss the idea of Liberty. I do think he is the best. In a world that doesn't have time for 'the why'... that just rapid fire shoots out bullet points and catchy memes, Stefan explains the why. Not only does he explain the 'why'... but he leaves himself open to correction (which does happen) and encourages people to 'think for themselves’. My final point is on effectiveness. There is no value in a message that no one hears. Via his web site, freedomainradio.com, public speaking events and his youtube.com channel, his exposure is immense. Freedomain Radio alone has pushed out over 40,000,000 podcasts. –Ben

Please nominate Mr. Molyneux for the 2012 Inspiration Award. Over the summer of 2011 I met with multiple tragedies in my life that I was completely unable to deal with. I came across an interview with he did with Lew Rockwell. Through his philosophy of UPB (Universally Preferred Behavior) Stefan inspired me to seek truth through reason. And the non-aggression policy is now becoming a way of life. I feel as though Stefan has given (for free by the way) me the tools I need to resolve any crisis in my life that might lie ahead. I am forever grateful to Stefan for this. And I believe is most deserving of this award and more. -PM

Stefan Molyneux is truly an inspiration. He is the articulate and experienced voice of reason in an upside down world. -RF

Stefan Molyneux is a worldwide inspiration for liberty and freedom! -EB

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux for this award. Never in my life have I encountered another human being so utterly dedicated to reducing every interaction to its most fundamental principles—those of compassion, protecting the self, and building microcosms we can all live free within. Truly, the knowledge and wisdom he espouses proves itself time and time again by being applicable to any circumstance, any sector, and any person. Between open-mic call-in shows to solve individual problems, and multi-part web-casts that broach economy, ethics, universal truth, and better parenting for a better future, I believe Stephan provides the most engaging material for both new seekers of liberty, and grizzled veterans looking to update their arsenals and sharpen their arguments. All else aside, his current series, The Fascists That Surround You, is a staggering, ground up examination of the very fabric of society—how we got here, and how we get away. I have never come across another explanation of society that so accurately describes the world around me with more clarity than I ever imagined possible. If knowledge and truth are the tools that bring liberty and freedom, Stefan Molyneux is the shiny-headed herald that brings us us the thinking of all out tomorrows. - SM

I want to nominate Stefan Molyneux because their concepts and how he tell them have been the most clear I have heard, I have a much better idea of what Liberty – Anonymous

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award. I have been engrossed in his podcasts for only 6 months; yet, in this time, my reality has become more clear and understandable. I love truth in all of its forms, and have been a vegan for many years because of the apparent torture suffered by factory farmed animals. Stefan Molyneux has made me aware of the factory farming that takes place in human societies, and the torture suffered is just as wretched. This reality needs to be unveiled, and Stef is the most passionate and articulate man for the job. - PL

The man changed my life. I dedicated myself to helping people after listening to his shows and I really began to understand myself properly for the first time. There can be no true liberty without personal liberty. This man has helped me and countless others to find our own freedom and that’s why Stefan Molyneux is my nomination. –Andrew

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award. Stefan is the host and founder of Freedomainradio.com, the largest philosophical conversation in the world. Stefan should be nominated for this award because of his relentless work in bringing the ideas of liberty to thousands across the entire world. His passion and intensity are unrivaled when speaking or writing about freedom.

Stefan Molyneux has been the most inspirational person in my life for the past four years in the realm of liberty and philosophy and I have no doubt that thousands more feel the same. -BH

I nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the Liberty Candidates 2012 Inspiration Award. Stefan’s work has guided me along the path of political liberty and has helped me discover personal liberty within myself. -NC

Without a doubt in my mind, I believe that Stefan Molyneux ought to be recognized and revered for his massive contributions to the Liberty movement. He is a more than worthy individual who deserves a Liberty Inspiration Award. Why? *Since 2005 Stefan has promulgated the philosophy of Liberty on his extensive website Freedomain Radio as well as on Youtube-- where his videos have received over 13 million views so far. *He has over 2000 podcasts and 1000 videos explaining in depth-- and with logical rigor-- ideas, arguments, critiques, and explanations of subjects pertaining to: -the nonaggression principle -property rights -economic fallacy -free market/Austrian economics -the history of government and individual liberty -the cycle of abuse and its relationship to violence -voluntaryism, libertarianism, anarchism, and anarcho-capitalism -political doctrines and their implications -the moral and ethical justifications for individual liberty -eliminating violence and aggression in our personal lives as a means of reducing violence in society altogether -voluntaryist solutions to social problems without the use of force (government) -and so much more... Stefan has also written books available for free online and in the form of text or audio readings. The books that he has written pertaining to Liberty include:-The Handbook of Human Ownership -On Truth -Universally Preferable Behavior -Real-Time Relationships -Everyday Anarchy -Practical Anarchy -How (Not) to Achieve Freedom –Revolutions. Through his large body of work, many have been introduced to the ideas of liberty-- especially the younger generation of individuals who will lead the future in the the cause for freedom. I was only sixteen when I was first introduced to Stefan's work online. He made a very compelling case for the nonaggression principle and a respect for property rights, and I believe that it is he-- more than anyone else-- who is the reason I call myself a Libertarian. –Anonymous

I nominate Stefan Molyneux for promoting a consistent program of intellectual, emotional and political liberty. -JI

Stefan Molyneux has done more to lead me and my friends to personal, social and financial liberty than anyone else out there. His YouTube channel has changed my life and the lives of those around me. He has clearly made the case for liberty by tying in ethics, philosophy, sociology and psychology to turn my mind's eye upon itself to be able to set itself free. By pointing out the violence inherent in the state, the predatory structure of the state who's power is concentrated in a sociopathic minority that lack empathy and thus seek to control others through destructive and subversive means, I am now much more aware of ways in which I must not only stop participating, but seeking to dismantle the current "system". One of his main arguments that liberty starts on a personal level is simply revolutionary when taken seriously. The task of changing one's own life to convince those around you and to live more freely, more honestly and more intimately, has changed my life in ways that have opened my eyes as to the greater tasks ahead in changing society on a macrocosmic level. I cannot say enough good about this man and what he has done for us; I simply don't have the words, but am forever grateful to him. –Anonymous

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio. His work through the years has been inspirational and life-changing for countless of his listeners. He is a true and honest advocate of liberty, freedom and truth. -Katrin

Stefan Molyneux is the obvious choice for liberty candidate simply because he is a fantastic philosopher with a clear mind, a powerful message, and has a passionate drive for drastically changing society over time through non- violent methods, i.e. philosophy, peaceful parenting etc. He is consistent with his principles, and he actually changes people’s minds (and lives) through his work. I can surely testify to that. He saved me. Or, as he himself puts it in his humble fashion when someone states just that: "I just helped you save yourself." He is the number one spokesperson for the case of freedom in our day and time. -AF

Stefan has inspired me immensely this year and educated me on many things. I would like to nominate him for this reward. –Anonymous

Please consider Stefan Molyneux for this year’s prize. He has done a lot to promote liberty this year with his Sunday Call-in Shows, ebooks, podcasts and Youtube videos. -Apophis

Because he is just an awesome advocate of freedom. –Anonymous

Please nominate Stefan Molyneux for a Liberty Candidates 2012 Inspiration Award. I know of no man who works as hard for the cause of liberty. -RC

Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio, A productive missionary of liberty, using principles and logic he has helped me with a tool-chest of arguments suited for spreading the red pill. "The story of your enslavement" is a 'must see' in my view. -TN

Stefan Molyneux is doing a lot for freedom in that he's engaging people's MINDS by getting them into philosophy and reason. I've always been a fan of social and economic freedom, but he puts it better than anyone I know! - Johnny

Stefan Molyneux, for his outstanding online videos that helped me and many of my friends in progressing our understanding of liberty. I do personally believe that his emphasis on children as means to promote liberty is a much more efficient way than the political spectrum. Also I personally see him as Ayn Rand's "illegitimate" son. Lol –Ari

Very impressive libertarian philosopher had a huge impact in my life and in the lives of many others. Also has an huge back catalog of podcast material, definitely the most prolific candidate I can imagine. –AL

For making sense of an often senseless world... –AJ

I would like to show my support for Stefan Molyneux for the Liberty Candidates 2012 Inspiration Award.

His work has been easily the most influential and inspiring in my life. What I think has been especially helpful for me is his emphasis on personal liberty to which I am extremely grateful. I've never had as engaging of discussions, good a job and prospects or as much optimism as I have now listening and considering the implications of the arguments he's put forward. I went from being a jaded liberal to being a full blown anarchist and I'm very happy I did. And to that and a lot more I credit Mr. Stefan Molyneux. He's my role model and I would love it if he were nominated for the 2012 Inspiration Award. - KB

I'd like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the Liberty Candidates 2012 Inspiration Award. Stef and his podcast have been indispensable in my own personal development and that of countless others. -DL

Stefan Molyneux, in my opinion, is the Alfred Kinsey of our time. Deconstructing social norms and reinstituting reason and evidence into our daily lives, he has provided the quintessential foundations for a better tomorrow. There have only been so many people who adamantly refused to budge on their principles, and Stefan Molyneux is among the even fewer who manage to make it succeed. That is why I feel obliged to nominate Stefan Molyneux for the Liberty Candidates 2012 Inspiration Award. -FR

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux for the following reasons: He has created a tremendous online resource for those seeking knowledge on various topics at his Freedomain Radio website and YouTube. This is where I first came across his work five years ago. I’ve been a fan since. The breadth of topics he addresses (religion, relationships, economics, politics, psychology, the family, history, mythology, etc.) is offered in a very down-to- earth, easy-to-comprehend, and thoroughly enjoyable fashion. Many of the free podcasts, articles, and books he offers functions as an inroads to every other topic. I began listening to mainly the relationships/psychology podcasts as I went through a rough break-up only to find myself drawn into the world of libertarian thought. At the time, I was a progressive/liberal/democrat, whatever you’d like to call it, I was just uninformed as to Austrian Economics, the Non-aggression Principle, the importance of ethics, the real objective reality of virtue, and the psychological mechanisms that led me to believe so many things that were counter to logic and reason. Mr. Molyneux’s material has not only educated me on the topic of Libertarianism (which I previously correlated to those ‘crazy, religious, right-wing tea-party people’ i.e. not me), or the topic of Capitalism (which in my youth, I was indoctrinated by Michael Moore to loathe), or Objectivism (where I was previously conditioned to believe Ayn Rand was simply a greedy nut), or Atheism (which having been raised Mormon, I was very leery of considering), but he’s educated me as to the nature of myself with noticeable results in my daily life. -MT

I’d like to suggest: 'Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio' as being nominated for the Liberty Candidates 2012 Inspiration Award. I can absolutely affirm that the videos I have seen of him were very inspirational. -IS

Stefan Molyneux, host of Freedomain Radio, for tirelessly preaching the world that freedom starts not in politics, but at home, and in our heads. –Anonymous

For the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award, I nominate Stefan Molyneux. He, more than any other person, has shown me not only why Libertarianism is correct, but has truly boiled down the movement to its core principles and then extrapolated those principles to all areas of life, in a manner more clear and consistent than anyone I've read or heard. He showed me that while many enter the freedom movement from the area of politics, freedom isn't really about politics, politics are just the symptom - Stefan gets at the root cause. –DR

I'd like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award. He is a fantastic philosopher! Go Stef Go! –Howard

Stefan is growing the liberty movement one podcast at a time. I have come to understand economics thru his discussions. This alone has disabused me of any hope for the federal budget and has allowed me to prepare my family for an uncertain future. Some of his talks involve problem solving on a very personal level with people who call in to him and are recorded with their permission. Because of Stefan, I no longer hit or scream at my kids. Before Stef, I thought blind obedience was freedom . . . . –Anonymous

Stefan Molyneux has simultaneously relieved me of the burden of fruitless political action, and inspired me to pursue liberty in the daily activities that bring me happiness. He has taught me that the path to liberty doesn't wind through the treacherous bogs of politics. I have achieved a level of self-awareness I never knew was possible since listening to his many podcasts. My personal relationships have flourished, and my general outlook on life is much more positive since discovering his unique brand of liberty-mindedness. I nominate him, Stefan Molyneux, for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award. –Anonymous

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux. He has inspired me towards liberty, anarchism and the Non-aggression principle, along with peaceful parenting. He has done this with great articulation, sound principles and consistency of thought. He also brings a great sense of humor and passion in his podcasts and videos which grabs my attention and wants me to learn more about the ideas he puts across. It is because of Mr Molyneux, that my relationship with my wife is more wonderful than it has ever been and our child, which is due to be born on the 27th December 2012, will be brought up with no spanking and be in a much more loving environment. Also with the sound principles of liberty. –GM

Stefan Molyneux is my nomination. He has influenced my life greatly. He promotes principles of non-aggression, property rights... –Anonymous

There's no single person in the liberty movement that I've found more inspiring and enlightening than Stefan Molyneux. He has been integral in my own political awaking and an inspirational force for freedom in lives of hundreds, if not thousands of other people. Not only does Stefan spread the message of liberty but he actually presents the logical arguments to justify the philosophy. I believe his work in the field of rational ethics has given the libertarian philosophy a solid foundation on which to continue to build upon; something that has been long overdue. Anyway, I could go on but I'm sure I'm not the only one who's nominated Stefan. You know who he is and the work he's done and what he's contributed. I listen to many others in the liberty movement but really no one else is more prolific and philosophically consistent than Stefan. -DW

The man that is liberating the man from inside, the one and only Stefan Molyneux. -TH

The freedom principles Stef teaches have changed my life, he helped me find happiness and become a very productive people. Great bonus is that I find I can help others as well. I've never been this effective in spreading libertarianism either, starting from the personal and moving towards the political sphere—opposite to what I used to do. -Tuur

Stefan Molyneux from Freedomain Radio, Jake Desyllas from the Voluntary Life, Stephanie Murphy from Porc Therapy. All three of the above people talk about actionable steps that you can make independently in your life right now, as opposed to relying on changing other people or the system at large.-Mike

I'd like to throw my hat into the ring and nominate Stefan Molyneux. I was going to write long reasons as to why, but will spare you :) He presented the philosophy that: - helped me be a better father. - helped me be a better husband. - helped me be a better person. - helped me be a non-voter - helped me be a really bad statist :) - helped me raise my standards in my personal relationships - helped me to understand political action is an escape from making real change in my personal life. He presents such a rigorous intellectual consistency to his arguments, I think one day, the world will look back and say instead of "Read your Hobbes!!!" when arguing why a state needs to exist but say, "Read your Molyneux!!!" when arguing why it mustn't. –Gilligan

Stefan is fundamentally changing people, not just informing them, but actually changing the individual daily lives through his philosophy of non-aggression and everyday anarchy and liberty. No one else out there can explain how philosophy permeates their every waking moment, and how it can be used to better their lives right now. -Anonymous

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award. Stefan Molyneux is the most profound liberty-minded philosopher of our time. He has much amazing work to point out the evils and hypocrisy of institutionalized violence and coercion, and turned on thousands of people to the arguments against statism. The arguments he presents are rigorous but also accessible, and he approaches the topics he discusses with the finely sharpened blade of consistent, rational methodology, cutting through the awful clutter of cultural bias. The awareness and community he has created with Freedomain Radio is truly inspiring, and he should definitely be given this award! -SG

Stefan Molyneux - He is the most important libertarian philosopher of our time, this generation’s Murray Rothbard. -Mitch

Stefan Molyneux- This man changed my life. Through his wonderful vidoes and podcasts, not only did I discover the immorality of authoritarian statism, but I adopted peaceful parenting and now apply the N.A.P. in my home and all of my personal relationships. -Anonymous

There are many great quotes to be found in Stef's 2,000+ podcasts and videos, but this one sums up the core of why I think Stef deserves to win the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award: "The battle for freedom begins in our own hearts...in our own lives." His focus on individual relationships, building a grassroots voluntary community, and improving parenting promises to make a long-term, permanent impact on freedom in the world. Regardless of the legislation, taxes, and regulations of the next few years, by practicing the principles of voluntarism in our own lives- -with our own friends and family--we can show others what liberty truly means. And this lesson will stick better with a wider variety of people than any economic treatise or historical text (no matter how persuasive and correct). -NY

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award - thanks! Stefan has worked tirelessly to open countless minds to the truth of Voluntaryism. I can think of no one more deserving of an award for Liberty Inspiration. -NC

I'd like to nominate Stefan Molyneux for his efforts in bringing philosophy to bear for the cause of a free, peaceful and happy society. I think he deserves the award for his choice of approach, including the application of the scientific method to maximize freedom and effect change within one's own life, voluntary actions such as his donation-based business model for the Freedomain Radio philosophy show, as well as the virtue, positivity and humor of his personality which he throws into the mix. -AH

Stefan Molyneux because he is the best communicator of the principles and ethics of freedom out there right now and his videos and radio-show have skyrocketed in popularity over the past year. He's articulate, logical, compassionate and profoundly witty. –Anonymous

Stefan has been, hands down, the greatest intellectual influence on my life. –JM

I nominate Stefan Molyneux because of his passion, integrity, honesty and virtue which he injects into the ideas of liberty. He has taught me that arguing for freedom is made in actions not words - all true leaders wear their ideas on their hearts - to win freedom, we win hearts. –SM

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award - thanks! He is the reason I finally understand the actual meaning of the saying “The truth will set you free" -PZ.

I choose to nominate Stefan Molyneux from Ontario Canada for several strong reasons. The first reason is the size of his show. In 2006, Stefan founded and now runs Freedomain Radio, the now largest philosophical show in the world with a total of much over 40 million views (this stat is a couple years old I believe) which now delivers 250 000 shows to the world each week. This show is a massive positive force in the liberty movement. It has exposed me and ten of thousands of other people to the ideas of liberty. The value this show brings me is difficult to describe but is at the level where I don't hesitate to donate money each month. The second reason is the quality of the message he brings to his massive audience. I'm hashing it up because I can't remember what it is exactly, but I believe the main theme of Freedomain Radio is political and personal freedom. This message is unique because it doesn't stop promoting the ideas of freedom and peace at the political level, but also carries them to the personal level to relationships where people are most often than not very un-free, caged by a soup of cultural bigotries. The topics of Stefan's shows reflect this theme by varying from the philosophy of peaceful parenting, all the way across to board to topics such as mainstream politics and an examination of the public union strikes. The final reason why I believe Stefan Molyneux should be one of the five to receive the Liberty Inspiration Award is because of the rock-band like public speech tour he has been doing for the past several years. Just in 2012 alone, he had 18 different professional public speeches which were held all across the world from Sao Paulo Brazil to Odessa Texas. You can see all of them on linked list below. Truly incredible! http://freedomainradio.com/Speeches.aspx -BL

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award because he helped me understand what liberty is. Before Stefan I didn't even know what the difference between left wing and right wing was. –JC

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for this award. Why? I could list all the talks and presentations and pro-liberty political arguments that he has made when I encountered him for the first time a few years ago, and all of that is good stuff, but what truly inspires me and motivated me was his words and actions on personal liberty. He's shown to me by his arguments and more importantly by his example that all the political liberty in the world won't matter a damn if you are not free in your own life, and that's what has allowed me to begin to turn my life towards personal liberty which I will reap rewards in liberty that all the political agitation in the world cannot hope to match. -AL

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux for his outstanding videos and podcasts. He is inspiring people around the world to shift to free markets and free society. –Azis

Stefan Molyneux has been, for years the most influential person in the Liberty Movement. He has made hundreds of videos and podcasts explaining market anarchism to the layman. He is a concise communicator and a respected personality. He may be the single most influential person who has taken thousands of people from small government libertarian to Rothbardian Anarchists. –JA

Stefan Molyneux because I believe he is one of the most influential liberty minded philosophers of our time and his free digital books and videos are great in helping spread the message of liberty. -Erick

I think Stefan Molyneux should be the one to receive the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award. He has made the spreading of liberty a full time job (he even quit his job to focus completely on spreading the ideas of liberty), yet also provides everything for free. He has brought countless numbers of people over to philosophy, and he has always argued from consistent principles and (the most important being the Non-Aggression Principle, of course) and has even given a speech about voluntaryism to a group of Brazilian politicians. He is by far the most consistent and rational philosopher and spreader of liberty that I have ever seen. –Anonymous

Stefan is passionate, resilient, approachable, balanced, thoughtful, and unabashed. His discussions have inspired me to actively change my life, my relationships, and my attitude for the better. He inspires me to better understand myself, my past, my world, and the people around me. Any cause which brings more public knowledge of Stef to the light is direly needed. –DS

I am writing to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award. He has been a massive inspiration to me and has spread the message of liberty across the globe in a very intelligent, entertaining and likeable way. His political views are 100% in-line with Dr. Paul's although he was glad that Paul didn't gain office as he thought it would backfire on liberty as libertarianism and capitalism would be blamed for the coming collapse. –Charlie

Stefan Molyneux is my nomination. He has drastically changed my life overall....I have watched his videos and listened to his podcasts for the last three and a half years, I used to hit my dogs, hit my wife, had a billion energies of rage and he has helped me through argumentation, and more specifically, his gentle and alternative nature, has exemplified to me how to live peacefully. I have since stopped hitting my animals, I have also learned how to talk to my wife and how to communicate to her what I want in a factual way, and she has just made the decision to get rid of her dogs. I used to threaten her with leaving her because it's all I knew, this is exactly what I think liberty is all about, it's about how this can change your personal life, not on how to gather more people to make posters to throw up in front of a camera. Thank you so much Stefan Molyneux, I hope you guys can gather the sincerity and love I have for him in this response –Anonymous

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award because he said something that was one of the greatest revelations to me. It went something like this: ‘99% of people really wants to do the right thing, the problem is that most people are being told the wrong things.’ Until I’d heard this, it had never occurred to me that this was one of the major obstacles to freedom. -RN

I would like to recommend Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for Liberty Inspiration Award. Stefan has completely changed the way I live my life. He taught me the importance of self-ownership and personal liberty, he opened my eyes to the non-aggression principle and most importantly, has allowed me to reconnect with my true self, and inspired me to be the best version of myself I can possibly be. Stefan made me fall in love with freedom, logic, philosophy, anarcho-capitalism and essentially, my life. -MW

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux, host of Freedomain Radio. Without a doubt, Stefan's work has been the single most important source for my awakening to the ideas of liberty and freedom. Prior to finding his podcasts, I was a vaguely lefty statist - full of propaganda and misinformation. Because of his rigorous arguments, pleasant manner, and engaging dialog I was slowly convinced of the ideas of freedom. Stefan continues to push the boundaries of entertaining and educational material - keeping it fresh with both new ideas and restatement of old ones. -RB

Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for his outstanding example of initiative and ingenuity. Stefan has taken unparalleled direction in his mission to expand both our understanding of freedom and liberty in philosophy *and*, having extensive experience in information technology organization, has also created a veritable on-line nexus for discussion and hosting of maintenance and expansion of this knowledge. Stefan has also experienced a verifiable spike in traffic since he began blogging several years ago - he is spreading the message at quite possibly the greatest rate of any single influence. Though, I have seen many Liberty bloggers websites, events, speeches, and videos, the intellectual forum that Stefan has built thus far, and I'm sure he will continue to build, stands as both a beacon, to those in search, and a monument, to those who have embraced, and merits Stefan every accolade he deserves. I hope you all will consider Stefan. -SP

I like to nominate Stefan Molyneux for the award. Because he actually talks about what people can do to make a change in their lives and helps everyone see how the ideals of freedom will translate into happiness when acted upon. He shows that it’s not an empty rhetoric or theoretical thing but a practical thing with direct benefits. He also doesn't shy away of talking about non-aggression against children, which is the most crucial things of all, since they will grow to be the new adults which will move society into the future. He also doesn't shy away to make clear that it’s a moral stand, that governments are evil and supporting them is just as evil. All in all he doesn't dance around the actual and practical topics of freedom that go right in the center of where freedom and slavery lies. That is, the heart and soul of a human being. –RB

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award due to his tireless efforts to educate others about liberty through mediums other than politics. While politics, particularly Presidential elections, have proven incredibly successful tools to open hearts and minds to the idea of liberty, Molyneux has taken a different approach. Freedomain Radio is the world's largest philosophical discussion, and it revolves around liberty. Stefan has simplified and condensed his message in to popular, easy to follow videos that are made freely available to potential future liberty lovers. Through his podcasts, speeches, and other videos, Stefan also equips liberty lovers with the arguments they need to diligently and effectively make the case for liberty. – Tom

Stefan is an amazing person and brilliant philosopher. He promotes freedom and non-violent interactions. -Anonymous

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award. The ideas of liberty have been spreading lately, and it’s wonderful. But Stephan has an amazing ability to see beyond the obvious and tells us what is happening UNDERNEATH what is happening. Through listening to his podcast, I feel (finally!!) that I understand humanity. The brilliance of mixing politics and psychology is absolutely revolutionary, and has helped me (and many countless others) immeasurably. Most importantly for me, however, is that he gives up hope. My husband and I have 3 young girls, and listening to Alex Jones or something similar terrifies me, and that terror is a paralytic. Stephan does not want us to cower in acquiescence to our overlords. He motivates us to do the most important, (and in reality the only thing we can do)-- better our relationships! Be non-violent, loving and respectful parents. There is a vision of the future that is different from "The Hunger Games" of "1984"; and through philosophy, applied in our personal lives, we can achieve it! In my humble opinion, there is no one more deserving of recognition. -AN

I'd like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award, because he's the one who made me understand what freedom is. –LT

Stefan spoke at the LPGA State convention last year and asked nothing in return. He was very gracious and accommodating in helping to spread the message of liberty. –DH

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for your award. I am nominating him based on his outstanding and untiring efforts to improve the lives of the listeners and readers who have had the privilege of his intellectual presence. This man has solved the problem of ethics, a far greater achievement than Socrates, Plato, Nietzsche, or Rand. He has employed powerful psychological data to examine the correlations between relationships of every kind; gods, states, families, and most importantly, with the self. He has successfully brought philosophy back to life from its dank, relativistic catacombs, and offers political, social, and insights on religion such that any alternative can barely be called so in comparison. He has the largest philosophy talk show on the web, with millions of listeners and contributors. Youtube "stefbot" or "freedomain radio" and listen to anything. I can't say with definite certainty that you will be captivated immediately, and I certainly wouldn't want you to take my word for it. Whoever it may be that is reading this e-mail, you may have already heard of him and for all I know could have more experience with what he has to teach than I do. If not, I would highly recommend looking into it. It is the second most important thing you can do in your life. The first is applying the knowledge. –TB

Stefan Molyneux for his groundbreaking philosophical approach, this is not only coherent, consistent and based on freedom principles, but also generally life-changing. -Anonymous

I would like to vote for Stefan Molyneux because he has liberated me by helping me see that it all starts with the personal life. I have succeeded to become much freer in my personal relationships by not allowing people to abuse me anymore. The quality of my friendships has skyrocketed and I feel a lot happier thanks to his message of liberty. -MM

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio. With the world’s most popular philosophy show he has inspired me and many I know to pursuit liberty in our personal lives. With rigor and passion he illuminates how we in our very lives can be freer and how we can influence our communities for a more free world. –Anonymous

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux.Freedomain Radio opened my eyes to Reality. -VC.

I nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Awards! Stef has worked hard for the past several years to spread the ideas of individual freedom... his efforts have changed my life forever. –MD

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award - he helped me immensely in the field of self-knowledge and better understanding of others, he literally opened my eyes in the field of politics and contemporary society system in general. –Anonymous

Stefan Molyneux - As a natural progression, after my Ron Paul awakening, I ran across the YouTube videos of Stefan Molyneux. Although I am just beginning my journey to freedom, finding this man is like finding a diamond in a cow pasture. His ideas of non-aggression and the notion that battling the State is wasted energy in lieu of choosing to live free (as much as possible) within the state society and the spreading of Freedom Ideas and Principles is clearly the way to move forward. I highly recommend Stefan Molyneux. –LP

I nominate Stefan Molyneux for this award for spreading liberty abroad. He opened mine, and many others mind's to the idea of true liberty and selflessly dedicates much time to the subject with a much different approach of philosophy as a basis for the ideas regarding the subject. This is not the grinding system of politics which many individuals seem to use as a platform to promote the concept. His many podcasts are packed full of ideas of true liberty and INSPIRE others to spread it. We have been born into a system that values freedom but does not know it. In these current times many of his thoughts are unorthodox or futuristic to closed minds. Listening for a year has completely changed my views on many things. One of the most important has been anarchism; the true path to freedom. To be completely and utterly free is something everyone should desire but many are trapped by the democratic system that has been in place since the founding of this country. Many times has he reinforced the fact that as time goes on the more freedom we lose citing many examples of it. Each year brings new restrictions of what you can and can’t do. He preaches and informs of ethics. Ethics is the only true system of right and wrong; not a set of laws created to control society. I think he is a great mind much ahead of the era we live in, but plants a seed that, if watered right, will grow into something great. A new tree of liberty. Free from governments and outside forms of control that we have unconsciously accepted as the status quo. Stephan has made me a more educated and informed individual. He has opened my eyes to a brighter chapter of humanity that can come. In his receiving of this award a wider audience could be reached greatly progressing our path to liberty. -Anonymous

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of free domain radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Awards; He is host of the largest philosophy conversation in the world and consistently remains true to all aspect of liberty. -JW

Nomination: Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio Reason: Stefan brought to me the idea that in reality politics is just a symptom of our scars & fears. In fact, freedom has very little to do with politics. I learned from stef that freedom is a direct result of yourself, the choices you make & the people you choose in life. For those who would one day want to achieve political freedom & peace for humankind, what better way is there to start to understand & stand up for freedom than to start with yourself? Stef opened the doors to me and millions of listeners worldwide about voluntarism & true personal freedom based on logic & morality. I cannot thank him enough for his contributions. Thanks Stef. – Poch

You must nominate this man. His philosophy on Liberty is absolutely spot on and logical. A man dedicated to the truth of the human condition, Stefan has been at the forefront of the pure freedom from statism for years. For all that he has done, all that he will do, and the recognition that you will get through the millions that listen to him, he deserves to be nominated. -Anonymous

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux. Stefan's podcasts have been the number one impetus for my understanding of the ideas of liberty. In a world largely devoid of compassion for these ideas, Molyneux's prolific youtube videos, recorded audio speeches, books, and articles are a constant buoy of freedom for me. Nominating him for this award is my thanks to him for his inspiration. –Derek

I would like to highly recommend Stefan Molyneux for nomination for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Awards. If you're looking for inspiration, and liberty, you really will not need to look farther. I have never seen (and I've looked) a man with such logical arguments, plus the excitement and joy needed to get you interested in logic and reasoning. I really do not think you'll find another soul (to use the term loosely) like this one. -SS

Because I listen/watch his youtube and strongly agree with his message/stance on issues. Haven't disagreed with anything he has to say so far. –Anonymous

I think that I have already given the reason(s) why Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio should be nominated for the Liberty Inspiration Award. He is one of five inspirational teachers in my life, and one of three inspirational political teachers http://mickyandrani.blogspot.in/2012/03/profile-favourite-books.html. He may be my nominee by default (Ayn Rand is no more, and the website of Frederick Mann--buildfreedom.com--is counter-productive), but at the same time he is my active nominee. I still eagerly read and watch all updates from his blog, http://freedomain.blogspot.in/ and from his Google+ profile. In short, I continually learn from him, and I think that I am becoming better and wiser because of it. For this reason, I hope that Stefan will win the award: he will then get the deserved fruit of his labor, which every proponent of liberty should endorse. –Anonymous

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award. He has completely put inline all points in my life into a comprehensive manual. He has explained what everyone knows but hasn't found the words for. Surely he is a sturdy step upon which we can use to keep our momentum pointed towards a free society. –Anonymous

I nominate Stefan Molyneux, because he is an absolute beast for the cause of human freedom, and because he's one of the few libertarians who truly inspire people. His morality-centric approach to winning others to the cause of liberty was a large part of what got me 'hooked' several years ago - I could always find some way to wriggle my way out of a particular economic or political argument, but was simply never able to do so when faced with his presentation of libertarian ethics. I have many friends for whom this is also the case. He empowers others by constantly encouraging them to effect positive change in the area they can most control - their own lives, and the energy and passion with which he presents the case for philosophy, non-violence, and human freedom, is truly something to be admired. What is perhaps most impressive is the energy and work ethic with which he tackles his work - weekly podcasts and youtube updates, a weekly call-in show, writing books, recording audiobooks, operating a successful website, speaking engagements, interviewing and being interviewed by other notable libertarians - all while being a full-time parent. In my eyes, there is not a more inspirational figure to be found in the liberty movement. -CR

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio because he not only talks the talk, but he walks the walk. By writing his many liberty oriented books, Stefan has widened the discussion about liberty and narrowed the logically possible Statist solutions to social organization to as near zero as possible. But, more than this, by giving his books away for free, and by dedicating much of his time and energy in a similar manner, he encourages people to voluntarily pay for his products and services, which is commendable by contemporary standards where things such as water are mined from publicly owned resource deposits, bottled, and sold back to the public for more than the price of gasoline. Stefan could have easily put his goods and services up for sale, but he chose the virtuous path; he could have pursued his private interests in being a software entrepreneur, but he chose instead, knowingly or not, to progress the Liberty Movement in what has come to be the inevitable post-Ron Paul world. His many analyses and predictions are intrinsically valuable, as they serve as models of how to apply the first principles of the ethics of non-aggression, and they are extrinsically valuable as they help many people in their daily decision making processes. Stefan deserves this award for his tireless efforts, and we need to both reward him for his past deeds and encourage him to continue in his pursuit of happiness, life, and liberty for all. -Rich

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award - thank you! The reasons are as follows: 1) Education - Provides general definitions and discussion of philosophical principles. 2) Current events-Provides an alternative, liberty-minded perspective on current events. 3) Inspiration - Provides inspiration by practicing the principles preached (i.e. tolerance, understanding, handwork, ethics, honesty, etc.). I very much appreciate Freedomain's Podcasts and YouTube videos and have learned a lot from Freedomain over the years. -RL

I choose Stefan Molyneux because he concentrates on the root causes of the problem we are facing. He talks about how you can live freedom today with yourself and people around you –Anonymous

I nominate Stefan Molyneux , of Freedomain Radio for his hard work and devotion to waking up the sheeple , and trying to help in many ways that others do not stay ensnared in their toxic ways . –Philip

Stefan Molyneux has been the most inspiration, insightful, and helpful Libertarian out there. He has been extremely prolific in his podcasts and has universalized and integrated the NAP in every aspect of his life. His has made Libertarianism a more personal subject, something I have always leaned towards –Anonymous

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio. His approach to spreading the ideas of liberty and sound libertarian principles is truly unique, and he offers insights in areas few other libertarians spend time on, such as parenting, psychology and fundamental philosophy. He is a prolific writer, an energetic and passionate speaker, and an inspirational lecturer. More than any other person, he has been the most influential in helping me put down the candle and pick up a searchlight in my effort to find truth, happiness, and freedom. -DB

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award. His work to integrate personal and political freedom into a unified theory has broken new ground and moved the discussion forward in a way that no one else has managed to do in recent memory –Anonymous

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award - thanks! He is truly one of the greatest philosophers of our time. Everything he does and stands for is the very essence of liberty. He has changed the lives of thousands; I included, and will continue to inspire his audience for generations to come. –MA

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award - thanks! Stefan, through his podcasts, books and Internet call-in shows, has inspired me to make attaining personal liberty the central focus of my life. His message is clear and consistent, and greatly needed today. -MB

With the largest podcast directly about human liberty from all forms of violence and oppression I don't know that anyone would better fit the title than Stefan. With an upcoming documentary coming out and a million views per day, no one is making bigger ripples into the world on behalf of liberty and philosophical peaceful living and parenting.-PG

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio. Personally, I belief that Stefan presents a coherent message of the morality of true liberty pass any form of government. He gives voice to those of us who ran out of excuses to keep supporting democracy through "limited government". He gave me the final push into anarchism/agorism/voluntarism or whatever you want to call it. He has become a huge influence on me, and in turn has helped me express ideas of individual liberty within my own community. -JG

I nominate Stefan because he brings liberty to every last aspect of life versus just in politics. –JH

I would like to nominate Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award - thanks! His work has changed my life. –Anonymous

Because he brings logic and reason to a massi -ave audience and he does it purely on donations. He lives free in an unfree world! –Anonymous

I'd like to nominate: Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio. He has helped me understand the principle of non- aggression more deeply. –BW

I choose Stefan Molyneux! He is so deserving of this award, he has spread not only the message of liberty, free- markets, capitalism and voluntarism but has done a lot of work in the field of peaceful parenting which is really where the most change will occur! He's changed my life and countless others.

I choose Stefan, -CG

 

Ron Paul – 2nd Place

I nominate Ron Paul, because he is a true patriot. – Mandy Blankenship

I nominate Ron Paul. Dr. Paul is my hero, he woke me up, he inspired me, he literally made me into a liberty warrior. And I didn't even know I wanted to be one. I thought I was fine, that life was going along just marvelously, thank you. I didn't even know I was asleep!!! I don't remember the moment I really woke up... But one day bingo: eyes wide open. I love hearing Dr. Paul speak because I know exactly what he's going to say. No surprise, no flip- flops, always consistent, constitutional, sane. And here's the other thing: he woke you up and millions like us. What if he'd just woken up one of us??? Lonely. And he did it over 30 years, literally one mind at a time. Brilliant strategy and the only one that works. If I must live in a time of tyranny, I'm glad I know it; I'm thrilled to be alive in the time of Ron Paul and especially thrilled to be a liberty warrior with some wickedly cool people. – Sally O’Boyle

In my opinion Ron Paul has been the single most important figure in the liberty uprising that has come about within the last few years. He has inspired me along with many friends/acquaintances so for that I am thankful.

- Anonymous

I believe the award this year has to go to Ron Paul as he wraps up an amazing career of steadfast support and defense of the ideas of Liberty. When faced with statist ridicule, I constantly find inspiration in the strength

and vigilance this man has showed over his long career. He is a bastion of our ideal, and no matter what one thinks about the individual elements of his particular philosophy, he never swayed from it. I believe that years from now there will be statues erected in his honor, and that he will be considered among the greatest of our nations intellectual standard bearers. - Andrew Stover, Star Toilet Paper LLC

Ron Paul, presidential candidate: Ron Paul has caught the minds of young people across the country with his presidential campaign. He managed to do this with topics that, to many people, are thought to be dry and pedantic - - sound currency, the gold standard, and a Federal Reserve audit! Furthermore, he did it with little help from the mainstream media. If journalists would have done their job, Paul would be inaugurated President next month. Young people are the future and he did more to awaken them than any other public figure in my lifetime.

– Celeste Jain

The king of all my inspiration and many of us in the liberty movement is Dr. Ron Paul. He has never failed to continue his efforts to show us the value of individualism, property, and liberty. He asks all the tough questions and NEVER backs down. He has been honored in many circles but he is always worthy of such an honor.

– Kristy Holmes Foote

Ron Paul for obvious reasons. I don't think I really need to elaborate much more on the honorable congressman. He's my hero and will be someone who will continue to inspire myself and other generations for years to come.

-Anonymous

Ron Paul - for laying it down on national television over and over again, inspiring me to read thousands of pages of literature and hundreds of hours of audio/video related to liberty – Anonymous

Ron Paul, for all the reasons. Please note his farewell address. – Anonymous

Ron Paul seems to me to be the most constitutionally consistent candidate for president of the United States in my lifetime. I believe his contribution to the public debate regarding such issues as non-interventionist foreign policy, responsible monetary policy in the Austrian economic tradition, opposition to the war on drugs, and cutting back on both the size and scope of government, etc. to be of the utmost value. I was honored and privileged to volunteer as a grassroots supporter during his run for office in 2012, and Ron Paul is the political candidate I would like to nominate for Libertycandidates.com Liberty Inspiration Award for 2012. - Adam G. House

Ron Paul for being a tireless candidate and successfully appealing to the “young" vote. – Anonymous

Ron Paul - for spreading the message of liberty and sticking to his principles always. – Jo Vaccarino

I 1st learned of Ron Paul upon seeing Aaron Russo's MUST SEE film, "America: From Freedom to Fascism", in late July 2007.Wow I was so impressed with his knowledge and awareness expressed in this film, and his unshakable convictions standing against the agenda to take away our Civil Liberties via the elite's desire to track & trace us all with RFID chips! A month later, I attended my 1st Ron Paul meetup group meeting, where I met fellow concerned individuals who were on fire with the desire to share what they have learned about how this world really works under the current tyrannical power complex, which is eroding our Freedom more with each passing day. We participated in Ron Paul sign waves, moneybombs, End the Fed Rallies, Audit the Fed petition drives, anti-vaccine education campaigns and much more. Ron Paul brought a diverse group of us together with a common bond: a desire to uphold & restore the Liberties expressed in our Constitution; because as Ron Paul says, Freedom is Popular! Hearing him speak in person for the 1st time, and seeing 12,000+ of us brought together in Washington DC at the r3VOLution March in July 2008, was deeply moving & meaningful for me. This man has sacrificed a perfectly good life as a medical doctor, to endure walking against the tide of corruption and criminal activity in Congress; always standing up for what is right, and maintaining an approachable, common sense and humble demeanor in countless high-profile interviews and speeches. Always a gentleman, he never stooped to name calling and the like while calling out politicians who are doing a disservice to our Nation and world.

Ron Paul educated me about how printing valueless currency is destroying our economy, and how the endless empire building of the Military Industrial Complex has GOT to stop. I was privileged to hear him speak in person three more times. The 2nd time was in Ithaca NY in April 2012 when he was on his Campaign tour. I attended a smaller luncheon/gathering where Ron Paul spoke and then graciously signed our books afterwards. As I stood in line, watching him be totally present with each and every one of us, I knew that he was genuinely interested in meeting with the People and spreading his Message. He was in the midst of a grueling tour: Rhode Island the night before, an amazing speech later that night at a packed, huge arena @ Cornell University, to be followed the next day with more of the same in Pittsburgh. At an age where many would be completely content to enjoy a retirement and free time to pursue personal interests, Ron Paul was making time for us and for our Future. I saw a man dedicated to giving, with boundless energy, who patiently and passionately shared his ideas over and over in CNN interviews, alternative media show appearances, endless speaking engagements, and even unforgettable appearances on Jay Leno, where the host was clearly glowing with respect and affection for this man. Ron Paul ran for President for you & me; not for fame or Glory or being in the limelight. He exemplifies selfless service, graciousness and love with eloquence, sharp intellect and the endearing, folksy humor and kindness of a country Doctor from days of yore -- always with love. His Message has caught on and he is a friend of Liberty, supporting

Homeschooling, Health Freedom, the Family Unit, our Bill of Rights, Justice for All, Sound Money and an end to these endless, illegal wars. I wish him all the very best in 2013 when he opens a new chapter to his activism, now that he's retired from Congress. His brilliant, candid and stirring Farewell to Congress Speech will go down in History as one of the Greats. I am grateful to Ron Paul for all he has done for us, and I'm excited to see what he has planned for 2013. THANK YOU, Ron Paul! This is just a brief overview of why I love and admire him so much. There is so much more to say, but I'll end here. – Liz Abbott http://www.reverbnation.com/lizabbottmusic

I would like to nominate Ron Paul. He has changed my life (along with millions of others) and likely my future in just the past year or so. -Matthew G. Howerton, YAL Chapter Leader

Dr. Ron Paul, Father of Liberty movement. He inspired millions of people around the world to fight for liberty.

-Michal Krajicek, Czech Republic

Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX): Congressman Paul has, for over 30 years, educated, inspired, and activated Liberty-loving citizens and candidates alike. Through his two most recent Presidential campaigns (2008, 2012) Dr. Paul (and his delegates) withstood the most vitriolic and hateful personal attacks from the media and his own party leadership, to bring the message of Liberty to the masses. Dr. Paul has always lead by example, putting his Oath of Office, the Constitution and Liberty before party loyalty or personal gain, as is demonstrated by both his political rhetoric and his congressional voting record. I cannot think of another who has inspired more to the cause of Liberty, young or old, Democrat or Republican, black or white, male or female, American or foreign. Dr. Paul is my #1 choice for the Liberty Inspiration Award. -CJ Schuman, Belleville, MI

Ron Paul. He tirelessly works to spread the message of peace and liberty. He is an excellent ambassador of the general idea and has done much to share the wealth of knowledge he possesses. -Rob "Burly" Cain

Ron Paul – he has done more, for longer, and more effectively, for liberty in this country than anyone in living memory. - Philip Boncer, P Boncer Consulting

Ron Paul for being the deity who ran for President and spent all of that time on TV and speaking to thousands. This seems too obvious. –Jeff Till

Ron Paul: I could go with a million different reasons for nominating Ron Paul but only one is truly needed: Paul has become the public face for the Liberty Movement. Every successful endeavor needs a figurehead. In football, the quarterback and the head coach become the face of a franchise. In a band the lead singer becomes the face of the group. In the Liberty Movement, Paul has become the face. He’ll be the first to admit that he has taken his inspiration and beliefs from others. He’ll be the first to admit that others have been more knowledgeable and their work and studies more vital to understanding liberty and its benefits. However, when it is all said and done, if Liberty is to win out it will ultimately be because Ron Paul put a face to the movement that has touched millions and will continue to inspire many more. Our nation is heading in the wrong direction but it will ultimately come to a crossroads that will necessitate a dramatic change. When the day of reckoning comes, and when the choice becomes authoritarianism vs. libertarianism instead of the choice between the right and the left, Paul will be that public face for those of us arguing the case for Liberty. People are waking up, and in Paul they have a steady and publicly recognized figure to hitch their wagons to. If liberty wins out, Paul will go down as a Thomas Jefferson- like figure of our current times simply by sticking to the principles of liberty and giving our movement a necessary face. -Anonymous

Ron Paul - opened my eyes to the political and economic system; broke my apathy to politics.

– Joey Sullivan, Austin TX

Ron Paul – for bringing the liberty message to more young people than anyone else in the U.S.

-Steven R. Christopher | Risk Analyst, CenterPoint Energy

Ron Paul should also be considered for all of his teaching on the subjects of Constitutional Liberty and

Freedom. That the GOP has never given him his due recognition is reason enough to award him for his efforts for

Liberty. (His son, Rand is following in his footsteps, but I wouldn’t want publicity for winning this award to ruin his career … hoping he’ll run for President. The Left would begin their attack immediately if he were to win this award.) –Kathy VanKirk

Dr. Ron Paul - As an untiring, unflagging proponent of liberty and freedom, he brought the discussion of liberties (and our loss of them) to the national stage. More people (including myself) have joined the cause of liberty and defending the Constitution than ever before, because he refused to compromise his principles, or dilute his message. A better spokesman for liberty has not existed since Thomas Jefferson. He was ignored by the media, ridiculed by his opponents and his own party, and never once hesitated to speak his mind and spread his message. Even though he is leaving Congress this year, he has planted the seeds of liberty that will grow into a mighty movement that cannot be ignored or suppressed. –Bob Schuon

Allow me to quote you Thomas and say that when it comes to Libertarianism, here in Central Eastern Europe I am all alone and thus, I feel like "I'm chasing a Unicorn" Why? It has not been easy at all to take the Libertarian role, especially since I'm the only one in my field of studies. I have actually been called all kind of names. Therefore, in order to keep myself "sane" and motivated (that I'm not crazy) is to stick to Youtube, and to webpages like yours.

Anyways, my point is: the only two I can nominate from the distance is Ron Paul and yourself [Gigi Bowman], since there is somewhat easy access to your and his videos through the web. I thank the internet, for otherwise I'd be going crazy!! –Remberto Latorre

Ron Paul: He's battled long and hard to diminish the State, and shows no signs of giving up, or knuckling under to their demands. He lives the motto of vonMises: "Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito". I don't believe there's anyone alive who deserves this acknowledgement more, although there are many worthy contenders. –J. Peters Ron Paul. This was an easy choice for me. Dr. Paul has inspired me so much to be a better person, read more, speak and learn the truth of liberty and our government. Dr. Ron Paul is a true American hero, teacher, and patriot.

–David M. Farrell

Ron Paul, always and forever my President. -Jamie Huizenga

I nominate are Ron Paul, for obvious reasons. – Daniel Roldan

I nominate Dr. Ron Paul for obvious reasons. I think he is the father of the liberty movement and he has done more to make people in this country awaken to the constitution and the bill of rights as well as the Federal Reserve. Dr. Paul was a great inspiration to me personally as he did not endorse any candidate during this past election because as he said, there is no difference between the 2. He also advocates for our troops and to end these wars and bring them home. I have actually heard him get torn up over veterans coming up to him. How he wants so badly to bring them out of the hell that they are stuck in. I am proud of Dr. Paul and all that he stands for. –Monica Savant

Ron Paul - For using his position and notoriety to explain ideas related to liberty. -John George Morris, IDSA

I would like to nominate Ron Paul, Stefan Molyneux and Tom Woods for the Liberty Inspiration Award. All three of my nominees work tirelessly to advance the cause of liberty, to include philosophical, historical analysis and the creation of educational materials. All three nominees are somewhat different in their approaches and in their cause, but one cannot deny that the three have been responsible for some great intellectual debate, thought and reason. I respectfully ask that you consider these individuals for the award and give much needed exposure and support for these very intellectual individuals. -Ryan Porhola, Fairbanks, Alaska

Ron Paul I should not even have to explain. –Bill Sembach

Ron Paul, for obvious reasons, his 30+ years of standing up to congress, his consistent position in politics. And the fact that he made libertarianism and the Austrian school of economics "cool". –Ari

Ron and Lew have promoted liberty in the past year. -Walter Block, http://www.walterblock.com/

Ron Paul- Dr. Paul brought my attention to the liberty movement and exposed so much of what is wrong with partisan politics. Because of Ron Paul, nobody can reasonably claim ignorance about libertarian ideals.

-Anonymous

I realize it's somewhat cliché, but I believe that Ron Paul deserves to be recognized for his 30+ years of action. He's been actively fighting the Federal Reserve since the 1970's, has been a Presidential candidate 3 times and a member of Congress for over 20 years. Ron Paul's 2008 Presidential campaign was the vehicle through which many people came to the ideas of liberty. Ron Paul has also been outspoken against the aggressive US foreign policy and won the inaugural FPP Peace Prize in 2009. -Darryl W. Perry, http://radio.fpp.cc

Dr. Ron Paul. Watched him in the debates in 2008 and have supported him since. He has opened up this 53 year old woman’s eyes and ears to life, liberty and freedom. -Pamela LaBrake, Schenectady NY

Ron Paul - About a year ago, it was suggested to me that I check out Ron Paul as a Republican candidate in the primaries. Prior to investigating this amazing man, my life was a dead cycle of Farmville and video games. The notion that there was much of anything out of place in the American society was not even a consideration. I was basically dead inside, content to live out my days in a blind sheep-like grazing. After watching the Republican Debates and then listening to some of Ron Paul's congressional speeches, almost overnight I was jolted awake and torn from the matrix in which I had been slowly drowning. To say that Ron Paul cured my apathy is an understatement. I wanted to shout it from the rooftops. I found sudden renewed energy and a desperate craving for more and more truth and information. Although some days were hard to bear as I muddled through the onslaught of truth that I had either been denying or was just downright oblivious to, and other days I felt like my brains were squeezing out of my ears, I have now come to a place where I understand the true value of all that Ron Paul has been talking about and promoting for most of his life. He is one of the last true statesmen and I will be forever grateful to him for opening my eyes to the reality of what freedom means and how much freedom has been lost to us.

–Lisa Padilla

Ron Paul, for obvious reasons – Anonymous

Ron Paul. Because he is Ron Paul –Debbie Sidle

Dr. Paul was the first living person to drive me towards my current ancap beliefs. He has held strong against all opposition. We would not have the movement we have without him. He is not naturally extroverted. He is not naturally someone to take charge of a movement, and I believe if someone else would have had his conviction, Dr. Paul would have stepped aside and let that person do it instead. His stand against those in the MSM even has many of his opponents in a place where they cannot help but give him respect, and some have at least been slightly changed and convinced of some aspects of the cause of liberty. His stand against the status quo of the nation when no other person was in the limelight, and his refusal to waver in his belief, has inspired me and countless others that I know. –Adam Goedker

 

Antonio Buehler – 3rd Place (tie)

I wish to nominate Antonio Buehler. My reasons are he not only responded to a deep inner need

to save a person in distress as a good soldier, citizen or even a well-rounded gentleman would, but he also took that event and made good with it. He has organized a group of "cop watchers" throughout Austin and is taking the steps to get people active for the betterment of this community as a whole. He obviously has demonstrated leadership ability with a healthy dose of restraint to inform,

protect and to permanently remedy the growing militarized police. - Maritha Gan, Paradise, TX

Antonio Buehler. Antonio also rose up to the challenge when he was faced with the unpleasant consequences of standing up for liberty. It is now a year since he called out Austin cops and started getting harassed himself. An additional reason that I am putting Antonio in the top three is that he has been advocating for liberty in a non- ideological way (at least, according to my definition of ideology). He has been educating people about liberty non- stop even though he got harassed himself. He could have very easily taken a backseat in the liberty movement, but he did not. –Jaimi Hendrix

I nominate Antonio Buehler, for his dedication and courage to fight police corruption in Austin, Texas through The Peaceful Streets Project. Personally, he has inspired me to become much more of a "hands on" activist than I've ever been. He's donated time and risked his personal freedom to expose police corruption. What more can you ask for? -Steve Cauley

I nominate Antonio Buehler. Wickedly cool seems a little tame when it comes to Antonio. Wow. He's visibly afraid and courageous at the same time. He saw a wrong and went to right it with no thought of the consequence. He stood his ground with an armed asshole that had an armed asshole partner alongside him. He did exactly the right thing and kept his cool. NOW he's turned that stinky piss water into an opportunity to take down tyranny. I love it. He's a true leader, not a one-night stand but someone we can count on. When the going gets tough, you know Antonio will be there. I can't say that with conviction about some of my fellow liberty warriors. – Sally O’Boyle

I would like to nominate Antonio Buehler of Peaceful Streets Project because he works tirelessly walking the streets every night trying to make sure that the police don't take advantage of good people. – Anonymous

Antonio Buehler. I'm sure you have also heard plenty about Antonio. His dedication to combatting police brutality is truly inspiring; this is precisely why I will continue to be a financial supporter of the Peaceful Streets Project.

– John Ramsey Co-Founder and Angel Investor, Liberty for All Super PAC

I'd like to nominate and thank Antonio Buehler. Antonio Buehler, I don't know where to begin with this guy ;-).He's a modern day hero, in my opinion. It takes some kind of bravery and courage to stand up to the police and be consistent/ persistent with you, especially after they begin to retaliate, like they have towards him. Antonio, I believe has effectively raised awareness about the Police State and the corrupt APD to say the very least. He was arrested multiple times over 2012, I believe 3 times, and each time was for filming the police, if I recall accurately. Antonio soon after his first big incident with the APD almost a year ago now started the Peaceful Streets Project - which is a Police Accountability Group as well as almost like a neighborhood watch sort of aspect to it. Antonio has had some out of the park interviews, speeches and I am very much looking forward to his continued success an Activist in Austin, TX. – Nathan Cox

Antonio because he's shown that you don't have to lay down for the man and except the unjust and corrupt "punishment" that they like to dish out to innocent civilians on a daily basis. He's a strong leader and has inspired so many people to stand up and fight back for our god given rights. We can fight the man in an intelligent and crafty way. Antonio is the man. – Anonymous

I would like to nominate Antonio Buehler for starting The Peaceful Streets Project and exposing the truths about how some cops do their jobs. He is what every person should represent in peace, truth, and honesty. He stands up for what he believes in and is not afraid to express his ideas and thoughts to help others. - Fabiola Guevara

Antonio Buehler has revolutionized the interface between citizens and the corrupt police department in Austin

TX. He has done this despite the enormous personal sacrifice that the state has heaped upon him, unsuccessfully, to make him back down. - Jim Carigan

First and foremost is Antonio Buehler of Austin, Texas. Antonio has helped further the cause of pushing-back against the growing police state not only through his individual activism and networking efforts

but also by founding the Peaceful Streets Project -- which has galvanized members of the Austin community to step- up and actively document law enforcement activity in their city. By bringing people together and formulating a plan of action, Antonio has helped foster a sense of direction among those who understand the vital importance of protecting civil liberties. Honoring the principles of liberty, he has demonstrated a remarkable degree of openness in bringing the Peaceful Streets Project together by reaching-out to far more people than simply those who agree with him philosophically and ideologically: the PSP has among its membership people of a broad spectrum of walks-of-life -- even at least one active communist of whom I know.

-Don Kissick Chair, Allen County Libertarian Party of Ohio

Antonio Buehler is my nominee, for standing up for a woman being abused by police only to have the police file false charges against him, then taking a bad situation and using it to create the Peaceful Streets project.

-Anonymous

I would like to nominate Antonio Buehler for this award. Antonio has taken a very negative experience and mixed it in a crucible with his character. He has taken charge in trying to restore liberty and educate people how to fight for their own liberty, with his Peaceful Streets Project. I didn’t know him prior to 2012, when I read about his experience and discovered we had a couple mutual friends. As a graduate of one of the most elite business schools in the world, Antonio has shunned the traditional path, exchanges riches (literally) for liberty. A very admirable decision and one that should be acknowledged. – Erik Chavez

He is a true hero- Russell Bentley

I would like to nominate Antonio Buehler because he walks the streets tirelessly trying to make sure good people are not taken advantage of by the police. He created The Peaceful Streets Project. - Anonymous

Antonio Buehler - Peaceful streets projects has been a massive force this year. Antonio never shies away from standing up for his rights – Derrick Broze

I'd like to nominate Antonio Buehler for his steadfast dedication to seeing justice done and even taking the initiative of starting the Peaceful Streets Project that will likely serve as a defense against police brutality in dozens of cities across the nation. -Matthew G. Howerton YAL Chapter Leader

I nominate Antonio Buehler for the Liberty Inspiration Award. As some of you may know, he was arrested on New

Year’s Day, 2012 for filming police assaulting a woman. He was falsely charged with assault on a police officer, which is a third degree felony and carries a two to ten year jail sentence. He was officially falsely accused by Officer Patrick Oborskey of spitting in his face. There are many witnesses and a few videos that prove to the contrary. Despite this, Antonio is still going up for trial on the original false charges made by Patrick Oborsky in just a few days. Since his arrest, Antonio has founded the Peaceful Streets Project, which is a non-profit organization to stop police abuse and make them accountable for their actions. In addition to this, Antonio is a teacher who works with children of all ages. He shows them and teaches them what the true meaning of liberty is. He is a true inspiration to us all because he has his priorities straight and does not live a hypocritical life like many people who have received Noble Peace Prizes. He is a beautiful person on the inside, where it counts.

– Mary Angela Cozzolino

Antonio Buehler was my gateway drug, he gave me a free taste of liberty and now I'm addicted. – Anonymous

Antonio Buehler for his creation of Peaceful Streets and tireless advocacy for freedom of photographic rights.

–Melvin T. Riser

Antonio Buehler- Antonio is a dedicated leader to his merry band of filmers. He and a small group of supporters single handedly started a grass roots group to address police brutality and hold police accountable. Of the people that around my area, I think these 2 guys [John Bush] are tireless and dedicated to their causes. –Monica Savant

A vote for Antonio Buehler. I did not know what liberty was until I met him. I just live my life challenging what it means to be free. Always have. Antonio's example helped me be an activist and reach out to other people to participate and talk about liberty with. I know he's inspired a lot of people not just me. –Anonymous

Antonio Buehler - Ignited a movement to take the streets back from APD like the city has never seen before at a time period never seen before. The timing couldn't have been greater following the massive beatings and violations against the Occupy movement at the hands of the police. His work has also ignited coalitions between the radical left and liberty community. Him and I have united on the front lines and taken lashings together from APD. Yet I am a former Communist Party national organizer and he is an investment banking graduate and liberty activist. The unity goes much deeper. That's just a real life example. - Joshua Pineda from the Peaceful Streets Project

Antonio Buehler: He started up the Peaceful Streets Project, which is a great activist organization centered around police accountability and outreach to citizens to help them know their rights –Seth

Antonio Buehler is the embodiment of how a free, sovereign, and peaceful human being should fight for freedom. After being subjected to bully tactics and an obvious smear campaign at the hands of the Austin Police Department to cover up their brutal mistreatment of citizens; Buehler rallied Austenite’s together to create The Peaceful Streets Project- which puts cameras in the hands of citizens to record the interactions between citizens and police. Buehler was named 'Activist of the Year' by the Austin Chronicle in 2012. Peace, Sovereignty, Accountability, Truth- Antonio Buehler embodies these principles- and so I nominate him for this award. -Ben Farmer

I would like to nominate Antonio Buehler of Austin, TX for the Liberty Inspiration Award. As I'm sure many in the liberty community are aware, Antonio was arrested on New Year's Eve of 2011 after videotaping and questioning police about their use of excessive force on a peaceable woman. Besides being the inspiration for a Facebook group with over 6500 members, Antonio founded the Peaceful Streets Project in spring of 2012, a grassroots, all-volunteer initiative to end institutional violence on the streets of Austin. Their mission statement: "Through community organizing, engaging in non-political and non-violent direct action tactics, and utilizing new technologies, the Peaceful Streets Project seeks to bring about a cultural shift where individuals understand their rights and hold law enforcement officials accountable, and communities protect and serve each other." PSP provides free training sessions regarding citizen's rights during police encounters, trains for and participates in "cop watch" actions, and held its first Police Accountability Summit in July 2012 which was attended by over 200 people. Peaceful Streets also raised enough money to provide 100 free cameras to community members who are willing to monitor police in their neighborhoods. Antonio is a great defender of liberty; he not only talks the talk, but he walks the walk with his Peaceful Streets Project, bringing awareness, accountability, and community action into the streets of Austin. Please consider him as a recipient. http://peacefulstreets.com/, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=eopoUl-wssw, https://www.facebook.com/Antonio.Buehler?fref=ts, https://www.facebook.com/groups/FreeAntonioBuehler/?fref=ts

Antonio Buehler - for his tireless efforts in police accountability here in Austin. –Cat Bleish

 

Tom Woods - 3rd Place (tie)

Thomas Woods has been my greatest, living, influence. He is very easy to listen to for hours at a time. He is able to keep your attention while discussing topics many would consider dry. – Anonymous

Tom Woods - for establishing libertyclassroom.com and recruiting the best in the field to teach the truth about history and economics. – Anonymous

Tom Woods for his defense of liberty through Liberty Classroom and his entertaining approach to making the case for liberty with his youtube posts. I felt he was far more effective building the case for Ron Paul without being part of the official campaign. – Anonymous

Tom Woods - for teaching liberty. – Jo Vaccarino

Thomas E. Woods Jr. - For being such a good face for the liberty movement (for example, has establishment credentials, has worked tirelessly and his books and articles have reached a wide audience, cheerful disposition, fair, good sense of humor, uncompromising, etc.). –John Davey

Tom Woods- Very inspirational and has pinpoint accuracy on historical events. He is exciting to listen to and promotes Liberty with an unwavering type of gusto. – Patrick T. McDermott

Thomas Woods Jr.'s writing and videos have given me daily inspiration and strength this past year. I see great similarities in his background and my own, and I am the same age. I didn't learn about the true meaning of liberty as soon as he did, but I didn't have Murray Rothbard as a teacher, either. I am glad, though, that I have Tom Woods Jr. as my teacher. -Jim Flood, Latham, NY

Tom Woods for launching LibertyClasssroom this year. – Jeff Till

Dr. Tom Woods - The person that first influenced me toward the cause of liberty, Dr. Woods educates and informs everyone in his presence, whether in person or online. I cannot even begin to describe how persuasive he is, in his writings, and his videos, as well as in person, save to say that he convinced a hardened, cynical New Yorker that things do not have to remain "business as usual", and that restoring our liberties can and will happen.

– Bob Schuon

I would like to nominate Thomas E. Woods Jr. He is perhaps my favorite figure in the liberty movement, and I respect and appreciate his detailed and easy-to-understand explanations of concepts dealing with government, history, economics, and other topics he discusses. Also, he is awesomely funny. –Joe, NJ

I nominate Thomas E. Woods Jr. as my choice for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award. Woods has had a tremendous effect on me as a Libertarian, and follower of the Austrian School of Economics. The reason I nominate him is for his incredible dedication to his students, as well as his ability to cover both basic lessons of Liberty as well the more complex lessons of economics and socio-economics for those ambitious enough to learn them. He is an American hero, and deserves recognition as such. –Chris

Thomas E. Woods Jr.: His work has been instrumental in winning me away from statism. The Church and the Market was the first Tom Woods book I read. He is tirelessly fighting for liberty through writing, videos, speeches, and radio interviews, and even takes the time to make personal replies to his fans. Liberty Classroom, his latest massive project, is an inexpensive way to learn more about the liberty movement. –J. Peters

Tom Woods - Tom has been a blessing to the liberty movement. Through his videos, books and now Liberty Classroom, he has inspired Liberty better than anyone else I can think of. –Bob Heed

I'd like to nominate Tom Woods for his tireless, awesome work for the cause of liberty. He's definitely the coolest dude for liberty! -Troy Middlecamp

I put Tom Woods in almost a teacher category. My favorite quote from him is, "The best way to evade the propaganda is to learn American history the right way, the first time." Tom Woods inspires me to learn real history and what things really mean and how it affects our lives. –David M. Farrell

I would like to nominate Tom Woods for the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Award. His writing and videos are the clearest and most concise out there. He has opened the eyes of more status quo republicans/democrats I know than all other pro-liberty writers combined. -Bryan Manolakos

Tom Woods for his work with Liberty Classroom, his work defending Ron Paul, and his usual fantastic videos, speeches and articles. –Anonymous

I nominate Tom Woods for the breadth of his work, but the one that has touched me the most is Liberty Classroom. Liberty Classroom is an affordable education on critical topics that are useful for a range of age groups. They're great material for homeschooling or people who just want to get some real insight on history

–Brook Warren

I would like to nominate Ron Paul, Stefan Molyneux and Tom Woods for the Liberty Inspiration Award. All three of my nominees work tirelessly to advance the cause of liberty, to include philosophical, historical analysis and the creation of educational materials. All three nominees are somewhat different in their approaches and in their cause, but one cannot deny that the three have been responsible for some great intellectual debate, thought and reason. I respectfully ask that you consider these individuals for the award and give much needed exposure and support for these very intellectual individuals. -Ryan Porhola, Fairbanks, Alaska

Tom Woods: The commentary that Tom Woods provides about current events in the liberty movement is great. He is also a historian and teacher at his website Liberty Classroom. Liberty Classroom is a great tool for unlearning the indoctrination of government schools while learning the truth behind many different subjects like history and economics. –Seth

Tom Woods: Tom, through his LibertyClassroom, his public speaking on Libertarian topics and his books has been an unstinting supporter of all things related to liberty. –Berl Kaufman

Tom Woods is a walking encyclopedia. Only Judge Napolitano seems to rival his knowledge of history & his ability to teach using the context of liberty. –Anonymous

I would like to nominate Tom Woods. Tom is humble, gracious, and infectiously sincere. He has a gift for making any topic he discusses a delight, and understandable by anyone–from the Federal Reserve and sound money, to nullification and secession, or to history. He has also started an ambitious Liberty Classroom in an effort to improve the accessibility and quality of liberty oriented knowledge. He is truly working hard to advance the cause!

-Daniel Brooks

Tom Woods. Probably the most brilliant mind among us also one of the kindest, most patient and friendly in the liberty movement. Always ready to teach and explain with probably more fans than anyone besides Ron Paul. He always takes the time to help and explain. He holds no airs and is always humble. He is always positive and an inspiration to all. –Gigi Bowman, LibertyCandidates.com

Julie Borowski, Tatiana Moroz, Tom Woods. All 3 have their own unique ways of reaching people through the internet and promoting liberty, whether with rational but fun videos, beautiful liberty-promoting music, or academic and intellectually stimulating videos and other work. –Tom Boone

Congratulations Stef! I have to be honest I thought Ron Paul would probably come out on top because of exposure and fame but you did it! Very well deserved and a fitting award for you and this operation.

Congrats!  Wow.  But you told us all "not to vote"!  :-)

In my nomination I said "I would include Molyneux since he has taught me more this year than anybody, but it's from listening to stuff from 2006"

I'm only on podcast 350 in 2006.  I won't be able to nominate you for the year until I catch up to the current timeframe.  Glad I didn't cost you the award.
