Just got this email:

Your prayers are needed at this time for Michael Badnarik.

Jessica,

I just received word that the President of the 2009 Continental Congress and 2004 Presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party, Michael Badnarik had a Heart Attack this morning and in an unconscious state. His condition is serious.

His Mother, Elaine, reported to me that Michael was in Madison, Wisconsin attending a hearing regarding a raw milk case. After the hearing he got in a car to go to lunch with friends, He then slumped over. His friends attempted CPR and contacted the paramedics. They attempted to revive him 3 times with no success. Upon the 4th attempt his heart was revived yet with erratic behavior.

He was taken by helicopter to Gunderson Lutheran Hospital CCU in Lacrosse, WI. Please do no call or visit the hospital, only family is allowed.

He has been fitted with a temporary pacemaker and a balloon pump to ease stress on his heart.

I have no further details at this time. Please watch your email box for an update.

Michael is a true asset and leader in our movement who works tirelessly and selflessly for freedom. Please pray for Michael at this time.

In Freedom,

Gary Franchi
National Director
Restore the Republic

Yeah, that guy is an inspiration. Would suck to lose him at this point in the game.

I hope he recovers. America needs him.

My thoughts and prayers.

This would be a huge loss.

Noo!! It is a good sign that he was stable enough to implant a pacemaker, but we need the stepfather of the constitution around for a few more decades.

I can't even begin to tell you how sad this is. Along with the Judge, Michael was one of my most significant influences prior to the Ron Paul '08 campaign on matters of limited government and the Constitution. I remember watching his Constitution class back in 2006 and it completely shifted my paradigm regarding ideas of liberty. He is the one who originally made it "click" for me in my head and truly "lights the fires of liberty, one person at a time". And he received my vote in 2004 too.

The irony is that just yesterday I was speaking with some people about bringing Mike back to TN to do another class. Mike was in Oak Ridge, TN earlier this year and I was fortunate enough to meet him. I took his Constitution class even though I had watched it for free online. It was his largest ever to date with 120+ people. He is a very intense individual and right now that is what this country needs.

I hope he recovers.

Everyone should watch his Constitution class. It's brilliant:
