Libertarians for Ron Paul

Zimmer for Senate in New Jersey

Dr Murray Sabrin held high the banner of liberty in his campaign for Senate in New Jersey’s Republican primary. A long-time advocate of Free Market economics, Dr Sabrin was endorsed by Congressman Ron Paul and supported by the Republican Liberty Caucus and many Libertarian Party members. Dr Sabrin was defeated in the primary by former Congressman Dick Zimmer, also a long-time friend of the Libertarian Movement.

In 1972, Dick Zimmer worked with New Jersey Libertarians in a dump Nixon campaign. As a state legislator and Congressman, Mr Zimmer associated with the Republican Liberty Caucus and other libertarian organizations.

 As a member of Congress, Dick Zimmer fought for less government: 

“While others talk about fiscal responsibility and cutting spending, Zimmer has an unmatched record of fighting on behalf of New Jersey taxpayers. Zimmer was instrumental in persuading the House to phase out the obsolete wool and mohair subsidy, saving taxpayers more than $500 million over five years. He worked hard to protect taxpayer money from being spent on wasteful government programs and pork barrel projects. Zimmer supported $700 billion in specific spending cuts, which would have balanced the budget.”

• The National Taxpayers Union three times named Zimmer the most fiscally conservative member of the entire Congress based on the net savings of legislation he sponsored.
• Citizens Against Government Waste designated Zimmer a “Taxpayer Hero” every year he served in Congress except the two years he was named a “Taxpayer Superhero”.
• The anti-deficit Concord Coalition honored Dick as a deficit hawk and placed him on its “House Honor Roll,” rating him in the top 10 percent of Congress.
• Zimmer never failed to receive the Golden Bulldog Award from the Watchdogs of the Treasury for his votes in Congress.

The Courier-Post notes “On Iraq, Zimmer wisely breaks with McCain and says the United States should look to withdraw combat troops quickly.”

Dick Zimmer is a candidate that libertarians and limited government conservatives should consider in November. More info @ http://www.zimmerforsenate.com/
