"If men of wisdom and knowledge, of moderation and temperance, of patience, fortitude and perseverance, of sobriety and true republican simplicity of manners, of zeal for the honour of the Supreme Being and the welfare of the commonwealth; if men possessed of these other excellent qualities are chosen to fill the seats of government, we may expect that our affairs will rest on a solid and permanent foundation." -- Samuel Adams, letter to Elbridge Gerry, November 27, 1780

Quote of the Day

"It behooves you, therefore, to think and act for yourself and your people. The great principles of right and wrong are legible to every reader; to pursue them requires not the aid of many counselors. The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest. Only aim to do your duty, and mankind will give you credit where you fail." -- Thomas Jefferson, A Summary View of the Rights of British America, 1775

This Weekend on Conceived In Liberty

While their names may not be known or remebered by most of us, their actions certainly have impacted our lives. This weekend on Conceived In Liberty.

Today's Guest: Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson

Today's Guest: Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson
Time: 4:00-5:00 pm Eastern
Listen Live via Accent Radio Network

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson is the most courageous, outspoken critic of the civil-rights establishment in America today. Often referred to as the “antidote to Jesse Jackson”, Rev. Peterson is the author of the “National Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson” event. Rev. Peterson is also the man behind the National Boycott of the NAACP, believing the organization to be nothing more than a tool of the largely “elite, socialist” Democratic Party.

Rev. Peterson is the Founder and President of the national nonprofit organization BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, whose purpose is “Rebuilding the Family By Rebuilding the Man”. He is also the author of the book, “SCAM: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America”. Rev. Peterson is also a TV host and highly sought-after speaker.

Jesse is frequently seen on major TV networks such as Fox, CNN, and MSNBC, consistently leaving his liberal counterpart in knots. His unflappable, can-do attitude and absolute commitment to truth are the perfect medicine for a value-challenged society.

An exceptionally charismatic speaker, Rev. Peterson is a hit among audiences nationwide. Among his popular titles: “Rebuilding the Family By Rebuilding the Man”, “From Rage To Responsibility”, “Stop Reparations Now!”, “We Shall Overcome Civil Rights Leaders”, “Abortion: Black Genocide”, and “Government’s War On the Family”.

Character is the most important word in Rev. Peterson’s vocabulary. Born on a plantation in Midway, Alabama, Rev. Peterson is this generation’s Booker T. Washington. Jesse practices what he preaches, operating the BOND Home For Boys, a character building after-school program, and many other programs and activities that benefit men and their families. His organization is a prototype for a bold new approach to solving our ever-increasing urban crisis.

Rev. Peterson is an advisory board member of Project 21, a national black conservative public policy organization.

"I doubt whether there are many Americans who think Congress has either the right or competency to choose where they live, what clothes they wear or what cars they drive. Yet many Americans stand ready to allow Congress to decide what doctors they go to and what treatments they receive. We forget that once we have government-sponsored health care, it can be used to justify almost any restraint on liberty." -- economist Walter E. Williams

In order to discover the line of our duty rightly, we should take our children in our hand, and fix our station a few years farther into life; that eminence will present a prospect, which a few present fears and prejudices conceal from our sight." -- Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776

Quote of the Day: "One time in the House of Representatives [a colleague] told me a story about a proposition that a teacher put to a boy. He said, 'Johnny, a cat fell in a well 100 feet deep. Suppose that cat climbed up 1 foot and then fell back 2 feet. How long would it take the cat to get out of the well?' Johnny worked assiduously with his slate and slate pencil for quite a while, and then when the teacher came down and said, 'How are you getting along?' Johnny said, 'Teacher, if you give me another slate and a couple of slate pencils, I am pretty sure that in the next 30 minutes I can land that cat in hell.' if some people get any cheer out of a $328 billion debt ceiling, I do not find much to cheer about concerning it." -- Senator Everett Dirksen, Congressional Record, June 16, 1965

Today's Guest: Sharon Harris

Today's Guest: Sharon Harris
Time: 3:00-4:00 pm Eastern
Listen Live via Accent Radio Network



Sharon Harris has been President of the Advocates for Self-Government since October of 1995. The Advocates for Self-Government is a nonprofit libertarian educational organization founded in 1985.

Sharon was one of the three finalists for the National LP’s “Thomas Paine Award for Outstanding Libertarian Communicator” – selected by members of the party and presented at the 2000 National Convention.

She also has the honor of being one of the most successful Libertarian Party candidates ever -- receiving over 300,000 votes in her race for Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture in 1994.

Prior to being chosen as President of the Advocates, Sharon was owner and manager of a successful book indexing business for 17 years. She also has worked as a free-lance writer, a magazine-article-writing instructor, managing editor of the Journal of the Medical Association of Georgia, and as a team-building trainer for businesses and organizations.

Sharon has been active in the libertarian movement since the early 70s. In 1972, she was a co-founder of the Libertarian Party of Georgia (LPGA) and cast one of a handful of Georgia write-in votes for 1972 Libertarian Party presidential candidate John Hospers. She served the LPGA in many capacities, including being a member of the Executive Committee, editor of the Georgia Libertarian, meetings chair, convention coordinator, Cobb County LP co-founder and chair, and delegate to national conventions.

In 1988, she was Campaign Manager for the LPGA’s three Public Service Commission candidates -- an historic campaign that won state-wide ballot status for the party. In 1990, she served as an aide and consultant for the party’s gubernatorial campaign.

In 1994, she was the party’s candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture, receiving 23% statewide and 34% in 3 metro-Atlanta counties -- a total of over 300,000 votes in a two-way race against Georgia’s most entrenched incumbent. This was the most votes ever received by a Libertarian candidate in Georgia, and the most votes received by any third-party candidate in the state in this century. The campaign’s results was among the best ever for any state-wide LP candidate nationwide.

Also in 1994, she was one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the state of Georgia which challenged the Constitutionality of Georgia's law which required candidates for office to take a drug test. The case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, where Georgia libertarian attorney Walker Chandler won the case, thus overthrowing the law.

Sharon is the author of "The Invisible Hand Is a Gentle Hand," an article which demonstrates the beauty of a truly libertarian society, and author of "They Pry Them from Our Cold, Dead Fingers."

As Advocates President, she is publisher of The Libertarian Communicator magazine and of the world’s largest libertarian email newsletter, The Liberator Online, with over 65,000 readers in 100+ countries.

The Advocates for Self-Government is also creator, publisher and distributor of the world-famous, eye-opening World's Smallest Political Quiz; creator of Operation Politically Homeless (OPH) booths; sponsor of Lights of Liberty awards for libertarian activism, and much more.

An award-winning speaker, Sharon has presented libertarian ideas on radio talk shows, on TV, to college political science classes, before service clubs, and to Libertarian and Republican gatherings. She has also been interviewed by the editorial boards of several major newspapers.

Topics Sharon has spoken on include: powerful communications skills for libertarians; reasons for optimism about the liberty movement; the future of liberty; what one person can do to further the cause of liberty; what a truly libertarian society would be like; Myers-Briggs Personality Types.

Libertarian groups Sharon has addressed include: state LP conventions in New York, California, Texas, Michigan, Massachusetts, Florida, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Jersey, Washington State, Georgia, Alabama, Montana, Connecticut; West Virginia, Ohio, Tennessee, The Libertarian Party of Canada’s national convention; The Libertarian Party USA’s national conventions; Success ‘97 & 99’ in Georgia, North Carolina, Maine and Minneapolis; International Society of Individual Liberty 2000 convention in Ontario Canada.

Sharon has a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism and a Master’s Degree in Counseling and Educational Psychology. She earned Certification by the Association for Psychological Type for teaching, administering and interpreting the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the world’s most widely used personality inventory.

She lives with her husband, writer and editor James W. Harris, in Rydal, Georgia. She has one grown daughter and three perfect grandchildren.

Quote of the Day: "The coming debate is not just about the freedom to make one's own medical decisions. It is about life and death. If we .insist on a dynamic and competitive market, health care will be better, cheaper, safer, and more secure. If we go in the direction of new government programs, mandates, and price controls, we will see higher costs, more medical errors, more uncoordinated care, and more lives lost because people with government "insurance" nevertheless couldn't find a doctor who would treat them." -- Michael F.
