Roger Helmer MEP elected new TFA Chairman
Wednesday, 25th April 2007 At a meeting of The Freedom Association (TFA) Council on 23rd April, Roger Helmer, Conservative MEP for the East Midlands, was unanimously elected the new TFA Honorary Chairman. Roger said "It is a huge honour to become the Honorary Chairman of an organisation with such campaigning pedigree thatstands for Jeffersonian principles, such as individual liberty, personal responsibility, the free market, strong national defence, low taxation and the small state. It was to support precisely these principals that I got involved in politics, and I look forward greatly to working with The Freedom Association to further promote these ideals." He succeeds Christopher Gill, Maastricht rebel and former MP for Ludlow, who on retiring as Chairman accepted the role of TFA President. The Freedom Association is Britain's only multi-issue, nonpartisan pressure group, and its issues include opposing the EU through the Better Off Out campaign, opposing ID cards and defending free speech against political correctness.
