Dr. Ron Paul, in many ways the elder statesman of both the political Libertarian Party and the nonpolitical lovers of liberty (libertarian) movements, was reported to have had some kind of stroke while live online making a presentation. He has been an inspiration to many of us fighting for self-government and liberty for all.

He is 85, and The Price of Liberty and our families offer our prayers for his quick recovery and health.

It has been a bad enough year already.
