[[Ken Kalcheim]], like [[Karl Bray]], is a leader in the tax strike movement; he is the editor and published off "Rip-Off Resistance" a monthly magazine containing material by tax fighters of both the far right and far left. [[Ken Kalcheim|Ken]] has announced for Congress in New York's 17th District, where he will be running against John Murphy, a Democrat with a [[Royce Rating]] of 6, a score equalled or surpassed in its atrociousness only by two other Congressmen's. [[Ken Kalcheim]] began his career in libertarianism as a conservative Republican, but is now associated with the extreme radical faction of the libertarian movement. He hopes to receive an official endorsement from the [[Free Libertarian Party]] of New York for his campaign. Contributions should be sent to Kacheim for Congress, 3459 East 65th street, Apt. C, New York 10021. | |||
