John Berthoud: So long, my friend
It is with great sorrow that I report that my friend John Berthoud, President of the National Taxpayers Union, has passed away.
John was a tireless champion for liberty and for the protection of taxpayers from our ravenous government. But beyond that, he was a genuinely nice guy, generous with his time and his spirit, always ready for a good laugh, and simply one of the good guys.
You can find a page at facebook.com from his friends and admirers:
God Bless You, John Berthoud
