From Republican to Libertarian

Former Republican Congressman Bob Barr in an interview with Reason Magazine about why he left the Republican party to join the Libertarian Party:

"And I chose to join the Libertarian Party because at this time in our nation’s history, it’s fundamentally essential to join a party, work with a party, that’s 100 percent committed to protecting liberty. In order to have any chance of saving the Constitution and our civil liberties, we need a party dedicated to that cause."
