Original appearance: April 19, 2010, CNN, Anderson Cooper 360

In April 2010, I was interviewed by CNN’s Drew Griffin while serving as executive director of the Liberty Restoration Project. We met at Brave New Books in Austin, Texas.

The segment appeared on Anderson Cooper 360, and Kansas City’s The Pitch covered the appearance the following day. Its report also documented the Liberty Restoration Project’s local activism, including opposition to red-light cameras and airport body scanners.

This archive entry brings together the broadcast transcript and contemporary coverage, with a saved source clipping below.
