Rick Tompkins

If Rick Tompkins isn't a household name, at least he's stumping from house to house. Tompkins sells himself as the Libertarians' Libertarian, breaking down competitors' platforms with a truckload of U.S. history knowledge and his own brand of self-proclaimed common sense. To get the word out, he's planning a Chatauqua-like campaign, Winnebago and all. That probably won't compete with some other candidates' private jets, but maybe a slogan like "The Fuel-Efficient Candidate" has its own appeal.

Straightforward and not very flashy, this site is a lot like Tompkins himself. A few speeches are here, as well as campaign info. A link to his stands on the issues is, um, under construction.
