Posted on June 26, 2014 (http://www.dcclothesline.com/2014/06/26/bill-rights/) by Dr. Eowyn (http://www.dcclothesline.com/author/dr-eowyn/)
The authorship of this brilliant essay has been attributed to Georgia State Representative Mitchell Kaye, but that is not true.
Rather, it was written in 1993 by Lewis Napper (http://web.archive.org/web/20030801200633/http://www.lp.org/lpnews/0010/campaign2000.html), who ran for a Senate seat from Mississippi in 2000 as a libertarian. As he recounts:

In the first days of the Clinton presidency, as taxes increased and the administration plotted a takeover of the nation’s health care system, Napper grew sick of watching as “our true rights were eroded, always in the name of giving everyone some new imaginary ‘right.’ “
One day in 1993, after hearing a Hillary Clinton speech on the radio, Napper had had enough.
He skipped his lunch break at a computer consulting job, and sat down at his keyboard to bang out a response.
In less than an hour, he had written the “Bill of No Rights,” which became “the e-mail heard ’round the world.”
Napper’s Bill of No Rights struck an instant chord with many Americans who’ve made the essay go viral.
