A Georgia businesswoman and longtime Libertarian activist has agreed to challenge U.S. Rep. Bob Barr for his seat in Congress, creating a "two-pronged attack" intended to help unseat the four-term incumbent.
On July 23, Carole Ann Rand, the chair of the board of directors of the Advocates for Self-Government, announced that she will campaign against Barr to represent Georgia’s seventh district in the U.S. House. By focusing on the issue of medical marijuana, Rand will try to cause Barr — widely considered the most fanatical Drug Warrior in Congress — to lose in the Republican primary election on August 20, said LP Political Director Ron Crickenberger.

That’s why Rand’s signature issue will be medical marijuana, said Crickenberger. A staunch social conservative, Barr opposes decriminalizing marijuana even for patients who have a doctor’s prescription.
Furthermore, Barr pushed three amendments through Congress to prevent voters in Washington, DC from approving medical marijuana initiatives. He also has been a vocal cheerleader of federal raids on medical marijuana clinics in states where medical use of the drug has been legalized.
http://harrybrowne.org/2000/Crickenberger-Barr-Rand.htmLibertarians hope you don't look into Barr's record before he became their nominee, or what they have said about that record in the past. It should also be noted that the year the Libertarians put out this press release that they were going to try to make him lose his Congressional seat, was the same year he lost his Congressional seat. Ouch.
