Media coverage of the passing of Marylin Chambers

Many mainstream media sources have ignored the passing of Marilyn Chambers, but it's great to see that those who have recognized her this week have had so many positive things to say about her film work as well as her political involvement. Here are some examples from a few publications that have reported on her passing this week.

After profiling her film career, Reason Magazine "Hit & Run" said this of her libertarian activism:

In 2004 she ran for vice president on the Personal Choice ticket, a spinoff of sorts from the Libertarian Party. She was later involved in the Boston Tea Party, another Libertarian offshoot, and in some states she served last year as the BTP's vice-presidential candidate.

The Canadian Western Standard has published two pieces covering her death. The first called her "a champion of free speech, among other libertarian values."

The second, posted last night, quoted the Boston Tea Party chair:

To Marilyn Chambers, liberty was about a lot more than politics. She did everything with a revolutionary, libertarian attitude. (I am sure the fans of her films would emphasize that word 'everything.')

She exemplifies a complete libertarian, and she will be missed by many in our party and the international libertarian movement.
