About
Dan "Frodo" Litwin
Dan
was born in California just in time to witness the peace movement of the
1960's. He believes that we should not throw out the 1960's baby
(peace) with the bathwater (whatever you did in the 60's you now
regret).
Veteran
Rock Guitarist
Dan has been playing
guitar since 1970. He grew up being influenced by the classic rock
guitarists, who all contributed to his own styles of guitar playing and
songwriting.
Libertarian
Activist
Dan has been a
Libertarian Activist since he first understood the concept that you
should be free to do "Anything that's peaceful". His
activism has included published writings,
public appearances, and a protest
or two.
Peacemaker
Dan wants you to join
him as a Peacemaker:
"Most of us on this
earth are searching for the same peace, safety & security. But
we can't find it by imposing political power over hundreds of millions
(or even billions) of other real people.
"The Peacemaker
goes the opposite way, curing the real disease of abused
political power once and for all, by eliminating entire portions of Big
Brother:
"More
choices. More take-home pay. Less forms and
requirements. More freedom. Safer cities. Higher
standards of living. A simpler and far more peaceful
life. The way it should and could be.
"Joining
the Libertarian Party is the best, simple way to be a
Peacemaker."
Hobbit
In
recent times, Dan has become known more and more often as
"Frodo", because friends think it's funny how often he
compares the abuse of political power to the Ring of Power from
Tolkein's Lord of the Rings.
Dan says Lord of the Rings is trying to teach us the danger of central
power. Someone - like a modern-day Frodo - must destroy the ring by
challenging the power of Washington - today's Mordor.
Dan has taken
up that challenge, which is another reason people continue to call
him "Frodo".
