By Kleinheider Posted on August 6, 2008 at 12:04 pmDrew Johnson of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research, Nashville’s premiere libertarian think tank, most famous for its Al Gore exposes, hot air balloon rides, fine art purchases in addition to their more scholarly endeavors, has hired a brand new Executive Vice President, Mr. Shaka Mitchell:
“Shaka is known in the free market community for his vigorous defense of individual liberty. We are excited that he is bringing that commitment to protecting and expanding freedom to Tennessee,” said Drew Johnson, President of TCPR. “His thoughtful and principled advocacy of individual rights is a welcome addition to TCPR where, on a daily basis, we fight to prevent government abuse of the public trust and citizens’ rights.”
