Marrou led the charge as our presidential candidate in '92, with libertarian legal activist and doctor Nancy Lord running for the vice-presidency. The Marrou-Lord campaign actively pushed for a greater libertarian TV presence. They received 291,627 votes, and Libertarians regained ballot status in all 50 states (plus DC) for the first time since 1980. On a more symbolic note, Marrou defeated incumbent President George Bush, 11 votes to 9, in Dixville Notch, the small New Hampshire town whose voters always vote first in the nation in presidential primaries.

Writings

Independence Day Address in Kansas City, MO, 4 Jul 1992
After quoting the "self-evident truths" paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, lists how the signers suffered, and contrasts them with government actions since 1913 that betrayed those ideals
Two hundred and sixteen years ago today, our forefathers issued the Declaration of Independence, separating America forever from Britain. The words of that document still read true and clear ... The 56 men who signed the Declaration suffered greatly for their courageous act ... Liberty is too precious to abandon. We must not forget the messages on our Liberty Bell and our Statue of Liberty. Don't settle for the lesser of two evils—that's still evil. It's time to vote for what we believe in, for what is right and proper. Liberty: if it's worth fighting for and dying for, it's certainly worth voting for!
