Writes Mark Messer:

I can’t begin to detail my sincere thanks for your work and for the services provided by the Mises Institute. Your work and the work of countless other freedom-loving libertarians has helped to awaken me to the real issues going on. My exposure to you came through Ron Paul’s run for president. I initially disagreed with Ron Paul on many issues and frankly didn’t understand him on others. I came around to being one of those infamous Paulites due to the innate honesty that Dr. Paul expressed. He never ducked a question but rather answered it even if that answer flew in the face of established “right-wing” opinion. Though I initially disagreed with him, his honesty led me to research the basis for his views. I devoured any news sources on him and this led me to LewRockwell.com and the Mises Institute. Your website and the Mises Institute have been invaluable to continued transformation from an enthusiastic neo-con into an anti-state, anti-war, pro-liberty libertarian. I cannot watch the morning/evening/local news without analyzing all of the misstatements and outright lies that are peddled to the masses. This has made watching the news an outright excruciating experience as I am now an ‘aware’ observer of these fascist puppets. However, despite my discomfort with the media, I couldn’t be happier. I have cast aside the chains that had bound my mind and am now free to embrace the truth.

Thank you for helping to set me free.

BTW, I am still plowing through your book The Left, the Right, and the State. It is truly remarkable!

PS – Murray Rothbard is fast becoming one of my favorite authors.
