George Phillies for President 2008
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
In Memoriam: Aaron Russo
Libertarians across the United States mourn the passing of producer and longtime Libertarian party activist Aaron Russo. Mr. Russo succumbed early Friday morning after a long battle with cancer. He was 64.
Producer of several documentaries, recordings and Academy Award nominated films including "The Rose" starring Bette Midler, Mr. Aaron is also credited with bringing Led Zeppelin to the United States in 1968.
"Mr. Russo was an enthusiastic supporter of liberty and a great Libertarian," said Libertarian Presidential candidate George Phillies. " It was my great privilege to work with his 2004 Presidential campaign as his national volunteer mobilizer. His wonderful energy and enthusiasm inspired and encouraged so many loyal Libertarians, fine people who worked vigorously for his nomination."
After the 2004 nominating convention, Russo put his considerable talents as a producer to work to promote awareness of the Libertarian party and Michael Badnarik. The television commercials he produced brought the Badnarik 2004 campaign to millions of Americans from Maine to Hawaii.
"Aaron Russo was a wonderful defender of freedom," continued Dr. Phillies. "He worked tirelessly to bring the Libertarian party's message of peace, freedom and prosperity to Americans. He will be missed."
