'''Chris "Dear Leader" Spangle''' formerly served as the executive director for the [[Libertarian Party of Indiana]]. Spangle was a lifelong Republican before joining the Libertarian Party in 2008. Dear Leader was so Republican that he once held a war rally in Indianapolis supporting the war criminal President Bush.  
'''Chris Spangle''' is an accomplished digital director, radio and podcast host, and podcasting consultant known for his work in advancing the principles of liberty and engaging in meaningful political and cultural discussions. His journey into libertarianism began after working on Andy Horning's 2004 Congressional Campaign, which inspired him to explore libertarian philosophy more deeply. He transitioned from the Republican Party to the Libertarian Party in 2008, driven by his disillusionment with the two-party system.


He was raised in Plainfield, Indiana, and graduated from Plainfield High School in 2002. Plainfield High School has yet to recognize the talent and great social value that Dear Leader has contributed to society by refusing to induct him into the hall of fame. He attended IUPUI, where he was the College Republicans President during the 2004 elections. It was there he worked on [[Andy Horning]]''s 2004 Congressional Campaign. Horning inspired Spangle to research the libertarian philosophy. He then went on to work at Newstalk 1430 AM, WXNT for 5 years as a producer and reporter. For the last year of his time there, he was the producer of Abdul in the Morning, the premier political talk show in Indianapolis. It was here that he witnessed first-hand how broken our two party system is, and decided to help grow the Libertarian Party of Indiana. He began running the day-to-day operations of the LPIN in October 2008.
Spangle has made significant contributions to the libertarian movement through his role as the executive director for the [[Libertarian Party of Indiana]] from 2008 to 2012, where he worked tirelessly to grow the party's presence and influence. His early career also included being a producer and reporter at Newstalk 1430 AM, WXNT, where he produced "Abdul in the Morning," a premier political talk show in Indianapolis.


On March , 2012, Chris Spangle had enough. He formed the [[We Are Libertarians Network]] and Podcast (WAL) with a few lesser known and somewhat important political junkies. Since the foundation of WAL, Spangle has seen various turnovers in both relationships and co-hosts. The 2018 year brought a milestone to the network with almost 1 million downloads. Expanding from just 1 podcast, Spangle has built a network on various social media platforms that range from news, self help, memes, and local stories. Through Dear Leaders generosity, many have been able to greatly enjoy and learn from his years of politics and broadcasting.
In March 2012, Chris Spangle founded the [[We Are Libertarians Network]] (WAL), a platform that has grown to encompass a wide range of content from news to self-help, reaching nearly 1 million downloads by 2018. His efforts have expanded beyond WAL to include hosting and producing podcasts such as the Chris Spangle Show, History of Modern Politics, and The Patdown with Ms. Pat, among others.


The fall of 2018, Chris Spangle unknowingly appeared in North Korean propaganda of which we are really still not sure the full story or where it ended up.  
Outside of his political and media work, Spangle serves as the Digital Director for The BOB & TOM Show, blending content creation, marketing, customer service, and strategy. He is also an educator in podcasting, teaching at PodcastingAndPlatforms.com, and supports various nonprofit initiatives through his radio show "We Thought You Might Like To Know."


In Spring of 2019, Dear Leader was forced to participate in a stupid online poll to show popularity. Because of his strength, good looks, and determination, Dear Leader obliterated his competition. Local radio and political pundit, Lying Rob Kendall took notice and made his own poll. To nobody's surprise, Rob's own wife voted against him and cast her vote for Dear Leader.
In recognition of his contributions to promoting liberty, Chris Spangle has been awarded the Dr. Barbara Bourland Light of Liberty Award and the Ken Bisson Outreach Award in 2013.
 
While critics are few, the praise for Chris Spangle among libertarians is boasted in almost every form. Hodey Johns once described Chris Spangle as being "the mountain upon which monuments such as Mount Rushmore are carved." No truer words have ever been spoken by man. Ever.
 
In his spare time, Chris Spangle also produces a multitude of other podcasts such as the newest and hottest comedy "The Patdown with Ms. Pat". Known by that audience as White Boy Chris, listeners can hear his nervous laughter as topics are discussed that many would shy away from.
