Downsize DC's beloved co-founder, Harry Browne, has died at the age of 72.
If you are unfamiliar with Harry Browne and would like to learn some of why we think he is so important, linger here for a moment.
Here is the press notice on Harry's life and death:

Harry Browne, best-selling author and two-time Libertarian Party presidential nominee, died in his home in Franklin, Tennessee, Wednesday night, March 1, after a long illness. He is survived by his wife Pamela and his daughter Autumn.

Browne broke into national prominence in the early 1970s with three best-selling books. “How You Can Profit from the Coming Devaluation” was the first to make the best-seller lists. His next book, “How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World,” is widely regarded as a modern libertarian classic and has gone through many printings and editions. His third book, “You Can Profit from a Monetary Crisis,” reached #1 on the New York Times best-seller list. Browne was also the author of 11 other books, including “Why Government Doesn't Work” and “The Great Libertarian Offer.”

Browne twice ran for President as the nominee of the Libertarian Party in 1996 and 2000. He was a frequent guest on radio and TV, both as a political and financial commentator. Browne was a co-founder of DownsizeDC.org, Inc. and a strong advocate of that organization's “Read the Bills Act,” which would require Congress to read every word of every bill before voting on it.

Browne was born on June 17, 1933 in New York City. He died of Lou Gehrig's disease.

Such a long and productive life can only be summarized. To those who knew Harry Browne he was so much more than a list of notable achievements. He had a profound influence on the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. And if you come to find value in the work of Downsize DC, then he will have had an impact on you as well, and your life too will become a part of his legacy.

"PunJab! Bring me my checkbook!"

I signed up several weeks ago and they are VERY well organized and prompt. Each issue gives a good explanation page, then when you go to submit your email to congress there is a comment space. I usually copy some of the main points from the above explanation and paste in. Probably get email from them daily most of the time.

Looks really interesting.

Great quote!

downsizedc.org seems like a very good organization
