Liberty Maven

Ron Paul supporter Will Buchanan started walking on April 14th and hasn’t stopped yet. He took his first steps at Cannon Beach, Oregon and plans to finish his trek on the seacoast of New Hampshire. What other than a passion for liberty could possess a man? Buchanan’s aim is to raise awareness for the Free State Project and Ron Paul’s message of freedom.

In late 2007, we wrote about the Ron Paul Rider, Michael Maresco, riding his bike across the United States with the main goal of promoting Ron Paul’s freedom message and presidential campaign. Now we have Will Buchanan, the Ron Paul Walker, taking one step at a time toward liberty.

I’m continually amazed at the actions freedom loving people undertake to spread an idea, but what a wonderful idea it is. After rolling over in their graves at the recent destruction of liberty by our government, our Founders would point to these magnificent individual efforts and smile knowing that their version of America may be relegated to the shadows, but still exists. There is hope.

Buchanan, recently passed through Erie, PA and attracted some media coverage from the local FOX affiliate (Video Report Here).

It’s a long way from Cannon Beach, Oregon to New Hampshire – especially when you do it on foot.

With about 2700 miles under his belt, Will Buchanan is getting close.

He’s making his way to New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project – a group of 20,000 libertarians who are moving there to try and create a libertarian state:

“Basically they feel government’s gotten too big and too intrusive. So they want to congregate in one area to try to make more of a difference and doing something on a local level rather than being spread out all over the country.”
