Recent and Upcoming Declaration of Independents Events and Appearances!

Yesterday, Matt Welch and I talked for an hour on Philadelphia's WHYY about the themes and issues in our new book, The Declaration of Independents: How Libertarian Politics Can Fix What's Wrong With America.

Listen to the show here.

Tonight, I'll be on John Stossel's Fox Business show at 10pm ET, talking about dirty political campaigns through the years. As a bonus, Reason's Damon Root will also appear, talking about FDR and the many myths surrounding America's only four-times-elected president. Go here for more.

Tomorrow night, I'll be on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, which airs at 11pm ET. Other guests include political consultant Donna Brazile, actor John Turturro, and Mayor John Fetterman of Braddock, Pennsylvania (alas, Ben Affleck dropped out).
