Martin attended the first Georgia Libertarian Party convention in 1972 during his first year at the University of Georgia Law School. He has voted the straight Libertarian Party ticket, when available, since then. In 1998, Martin founded the Fellowship of Reason, a Georgia a nonprofit organization, a reason-based moral community. Members of the Fellowship of Reason study ethics and engage in continuing adult education in the classics, including philosophy, history, literature, and culture. Having retired after forty years from the practice of law in December 2015, Martin turns his attention to applying the results of his legal, ethical, philosophical, historical, literate, and cultural studies. The first result is Martin’s second book, Fabian Libertarianism: 100 Years to Freedom.
During Martin’s classical studies, he read and taught Plutarch’s Lives of Famous Greeks and Romans, including the Life of Fabius Maximus. Consul Fabius Maximus successfully lead the defense of the Roman Republic contra the invading Carthaginian general Hannibal by avoiding direct battle and by employing delaying tactics. Recognizing that the British Socialist think tank, the Fabian Society, bears the name of the famous Fabius Maximus, Martin took a look at the history of the Fabian Society and realized that since their founding in the late nineteenth century, the Socialists have achieved all their goals! Martin is determined to turn the Fabian tactics against the victorious Socialists. Martin realizes that the recovery of American Freedom will take as long as it took to lose it, over the 130 years, thus the subtitle of Martin’s book: 100 Years to Freedom.
Martin Cowen is pleased that the principles of Libertarianism are known to every American citizen with an interest in politics. He is disappointed that the Libertarian Party has elected few Libertarian candidates to public office. Martin intends to devote the next twenty years of his life working as a volunteer for the Libertarian Party with the goal of helping the Libertarian Party elect a new generation of young Libertarian candidates to public office.vizualizați mai puține
