- Congressional Candidate Rick Friend to Speak at Macomb
Speaking at the July 12 meeting of the Libertarians of
Macomb County will be Richard Friend Libertarian candidate
for US Congress, District 10. Richard Friend was born in
the Port Huron, Michigan. He was adopted and raised in
Dearborn, Michigan, resided in the State of Michigan all of
his life, and has been a resident of Port Huron for over the
past ten years.
Richard Friend served a term of duty with the United
States Air Force and honorably discharged in 1963. It was in
1967 that he completed his basic education and obtained his
GED. In general, Richard advises that he obtained his
education through life in general and considers himself to
have attained a graduate degree in the school of "Hard
Knocks".
It was in 1996 that Richard was watching Harry Browne
run his campaign for the presidency when he realized that
the Libertarian Party was the only party that could
accomplish the same things he was interested in. Up until
then, Richard had been patiently waiting on the Republican
Party to achieve liberty but that time has passed. They have
failed to uphold the basis of the Constitution and failed to
grant the American public it's freedoms.
In 1997, Richard attempted to run for the City Council
in Port Huron but was unsuccessful due to not getting the
required signatures. Now, Richard is seeking the office of a
United States Congressman in order to restore the liberties
once held by the American public and to bring the government
back under the reigns of the Constitution. The current
system of government is made up of those who want to tell
you what to do, where to send your children to school, what
you can and can not do with your property, etc. Richard
Friend and the Libertarian Party, are the only candidates
that want to give you, the American public, back the
responsibility for your own life and allow you to make your
own choices for yourself and your family. The politicians
currently in place are so removed from the wishes of the
American people that it is time to get someone in who
understands and is one of the American public. Richard
Friend is R. Friend, Libertarian, for United States
Congress.
LMC meetings are held at Mile's World Restaurant 17689
Masonic (near Groesbeck), Fraser, MI 48026. Dinner will be
available for $12.95 with a selection of five entrée items.
Drinks are separate. Please join us 6:00 PM for dinner and
7:00 PM for business and an informative speaker.
