Lysander spooner - guy stood upto the government close to 200 years ago, called them out on practially all of the hypocracies and contradictions, made a competing mail delivery service

Aynn Rand - philosopher and writer, her works of fiction were especially entertaining to me, she infuses her philosophical views into a great story

Ron Paul Smiley - hes been standing up for liberty and at least smaller government since the 80s, always stands for liberty, even though he is religious his first cause is liberty

Peter Duesberg - stands up for the truth regardless of the consequences. A = A, doesn't matter how unprofitable or how many people disagree or how badly you are misrepresented. This man has possibly saved hundreds of lives from a medical fraud that has killed millions, but he is painted as a mass murderer akin to hitler... one day the world will know the truth, this man is a hero who refused to give in to force and fraud
