The late director Aaron Russo ("The Rose", "Trading Places", "Teachers", "From Freedom to Fascism") is asked for his opinion about 9/11 at a book signing. In response, he says that 9/11 was a fraud, and he details his reasons for believing that. http://www.restoretherepublic.com/ http://defendindependence.org/ARM/AaronRussoBiography.HTML http://www.freedomtofascism.com/ In January 2004, Russo announced he was seeking the Libertarian Party's nomination to run for the President of the United States. Russo told LP News (February 2004) he was running because the United States is "heading to totalitarianism. I have a sincere belief [in] the Constitution and Bill of Rights as envisioned by Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Ben Franklin. Unfortunately, neither political party respects the vision of our Founding Fathers, and these documents have been relegated to the dustbin. I want to dust them off and restore them to their proper role in our lives." On January 14, 2007, Russo announced his full support for U.S. Congressman Ron Paul's 2008 presidential bid. Russo also joined the advisory board of Jews for Ron Paul 2008.
