Welcome to Ask a Libertarian 2012 with Reason's Nick Gillespie and Matt

http://www.amazon.com/The-Declaration-Independents-Libertarian-Politics/dp/1610391004

On June 12, 2012 Gillespie and Welch used short, rapid-fire videos to
answer dozens of reader questions submitted via email, Twitter, Facebook,
and Reason.com.

In this episode, they answer the question:
"Is it possible for a libertarian to support things like a safety net, vouchers for the especially needy, and environmental protection?"

Produced by Meredith Bragg, Jim Epstein, Josh Swain, and Tracy Oppenheimer
with help from Katie Hooks.
