Timeline

1953

Eric Garris (born December 24, 1953) is an activist in the libertarian movement in the United States, reaching back to the Vietnam War.

1960

While living in Venice, California in the 1960s, Garris became active in the Peace and Freedom Party, serving as National Committeeman and Vice-chairman before forming a libertarian faction within the party in 1973.

1972

Eric Garris first ran for public office in 1972 when he ran as a Peace and Freedom Party candidate for the California State Assembly in district 61.

He received 3,488 votes for 3.8% of the vote.

1973

"In 1973 I joined the Libertarian Party. I served as a National Committee member, California State Director, and candidate and campaign manager numerous times. I am still a life member of the LP, but I am no longer registered LP. I still consider myself to be a libertarian with strongly held beliefs and, as Webmaster of Antiwar.com and LewRockwell.com, consider myself an activist in the libertarian movement. I still read much of the LP's literature, have many friends and associates in the LP, often even vote Libertarian. I also subscribe to the LP's internal email discussion list."

When Murray Rothbard and his supporters began to feel that the Libertarian Party, through outfits such as the Cato Institute, was becoming too cozy with the Republican Party and its policies, they founded the "Libertarian Radical Caucus" which was led primarily by Garris and his most consistent collaborator Justin Raimondo.

1974

Garris ran for office a second time in 1974.

1975

In 1975, he left the Peace and Freedom Party to become active in the Libertarian Party, eventually co-founding the Libertarian Radical Caucus with Justin Raimondo.

1978

As a pro-gay rights libertarian, Garris was active in opposing and defeating the 1978 Briggs Initiative, which was authored by state senator John V. Briggs, (R-Fullerton).

A Universal Free Libertarian Church minister, Garris was scheduled to debate Senator Briggs at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) on October 26, 1978.

Hours before the debate, which was sponsored by Society for Libertarian Life, Briggs failed to appear and substituted Prof. George Kent.

Brigg's aide, Don Sizemore, later stated that the senator had received several death threats just before the debate.

Garris was one of the four plaintiffs who filed a breach of contract against Briggs, litigated by Newport Beach attorney David Bergland.

1980

In the 1980s, Garris and Raimondo left the Libertarian Party to engage the Republican Party.

Running as a Peace and Freedom Party candidate in the 22 State Senate district, Garris received 4,316 votes for 2.3% In 1980, Garris ran as a libertarian for the 5th district California State Senate seat.

In a two-way race, Garris received 21,162 votes for 14.6% of the vote.

1983

After the Libertarian Party's major schism of 1983, they began an entryist strategy into the Republican Party, and during the 1990s they became strong backers of Pat Buchanan.

As a red diaper baby, Garris marched in civil rights demonstrations at age 8, was expelled from high school for instigating a riot at age 16, and became a Vietnam War draft resister by the time he was an adult.

He considered himself a leftist for most of his early years, but that political position changed by the time he turned 20.

In 1995, he founded Antiwar.com in response to the Clinton administration's intervention in Bosnia's civil war.

Founded on Randolph Bourne's idea that "War is the Health of the State," Antiwar.com aggregates foreign policy news links from a variety of perspectives to inform the American people and the world about the overseas plans of the American government and serve as a research tool for "'citizen experts.'"
