	Michael Badnarik - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Badnarik, a United States national (as opposed to a citizen of the central government), was born in Hammond, Indiana.
		Badnarik's capture of the nomination was widely regarded as a surprise by many within the party; both Nolan and Russo had outpaced Badnarik in both fundraising and poll results prior to the convention.
		Badnarik says government does not grant rights but rather acknowledges them, that they exist independently of government as part of who and what we are, and that, as Jefferson noted in the Declaration of Independence, the only legitimate function of government is to secure them.

		Badnarik plans to slash pharmaceutical prices by reducing, what he refers to as, "excessive FDA regulation."

		Badnarik never stumbled, never voiced a faux pas our present president is so infamous for, and he never stammered for the lack of an answer, nor did he carefully couch his comments.

		Badnarik is an engaging speaker, and definitely believes what he is saying.

		I knew Michael Badnerak was on sound ground as soon as he identified as fundamentally critical to all political thought an understanding of the difference between a right and a privilege.
