Marshall Fritz

Marshall Fritz (March 10, 1943 – November 4, 2008) was an American libertarian activist. A native of Inglewood, California, Fritz was chairman, founder, and former president of the Alliance for the Separation of School and State. Prior to founding that organization, he founded the Advocates for Self-Government, a non-profit, non-partisan libertarian advocacy and education center. He employed "The World's Smallest Political Quiz" as a lead in to ask for signatures on the pledge. Throughout the 1990s and until his illness prevented his pursuits, Fritz organized an annual "Sep Con" as a forum to encourage families to remove their children from government funded schools. 
Fritz died at his home in Fresno, California, on November 4, 2008, from pancreatic cancer.
