Michigan’s Justin Amash greatly inspired by Hayek

From Eric Dondero:

Republican Liberty Caucus member, and longtime Michigan libertarian Republican activist Justin Amash has held a stable lead in his race for US Congress - Western MI district. And he's not backing down from his libertarian background.

In 2008, Tom McClintock of California was the most explicitly libertarian-leaning Republican elected to Congress. For 2010, that honor may go to Amash.

From the NY Times, "Movement of the Moment Looks to Long-Ago Texts" Oct. 1:

Justin Amash, the 30-year-old Republican state legislator running for the House seat once held by Gerald Ford in Michigan, frequently posts links to essays by Hayek and Bastiat on his Facebook page, his chief vehicle for communicating with voters. “There is no single economist or philosopher I admire more than F. A. Hayek,” he wrote in May. “I have his portrait on the wall of my legislative office and the Justin Amash for Congress office.”
