Browne appeared on the Matt Drudge Show on the Fox network on July 31, and had a wide-ranging discussion about government regulation, Social Security, the need for a third party, electronic privacy, and other issues.

It takes too much of our money, it's too intrusive. I want a government that's out of my wallet and out of my bedroom, and Harry Browne represents that change. Browne's photograph appeared with Ralph Nader, billionaire Donald Trump, and Senator Bob Smith, among others. The August issue of School Reform News, where his opinions on education reform were listed along with the major Democratic and Republican candidates such as George W.
