New York Author Endorses Libertarian for President



Businessman, publisher, and children's book author, Matthew S. Field, announced his endorsement of likely Libertarian Party nominee Bob Barr for the President of the United States.

In a statement, Field said about the former U.S. Congressman from Georgia, "Bob Barr offers an alternative to the other parties' presumptive candidates who seem to want only to remove parents' ability to make decisions for their own families in lieu of expanding federal programs and to trade dollars and lives to support a war in the Middle East rather than implement sound domestic energy and economic policies. A man of principle and character, Candidate Barr provides hope for a brighter future."

"In the children's books I have written, I have included discrete references to both personal responsibility and individual liberty," adds Field. "Just as I have tried to positively influence my young readers' expectations for themselves and for their communities," continues Field, "I believe Bob Barr will provide the leadership to affect such a transformation among all Americans."

The author of Father Like A Tree (2005) and The Three Pigs, Business School, and Wolfe Hash Stew (2007), Matthew S. Field will appear at the Warwick Children's Book Festival to benefit the Albert Wisner Library on Sunday, September 7, 2008.

If nominated at the Libertarian Party National Convention later this month, Bob Barr would become the tenth presidential candidate since the Libertarian Party's inception in 1971. The Libertarian Party is the third-largest political party in the United States.
