Babka was the press secretary for Libertarian Party presidential candidate Harry Browne in 2000.[2] He also worked as a paid consultant for Libertarian Bill Redpath in his run for Virginia Governor in 2001.
Babka was named the President of RealCampaignReform.org, a project to oppose the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform, which ultimately passed as the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002. Immediately, Babka went to work with his attorneys to organize a group of plaintiffs to challenge the law. Congressman Ron Paul was the lead plaintiff, making their case, Paul v. FEC.[3] RealCampaignReform.org was joined by Gun Owners of America, Citizens United, Massachusetts candidates Carla Howell and Michael Cloud, and others.
Babka wrote a column published at WorldNetDaily called, "The Deliciously Absurd Plan of the NRA," and was invited on to National Public Radio to talk about it.[4]
Babka is the co-creator of a “post-statist” educational initiative called the Zero Aggression Project, demonstrating how politics violates the Zero Aggression Principle. In this role, he co-authored the Political Conscience Test.
As of June 2021, Babka is Executive Editor of the Advocates for Self-Government. He is the President of DownsizeDC.org, Inc., a group organized to pressure Congress in a libertarian direction. This includes the creation of Read the Bills Act,[5] One Subject at a Time Act,[6] and Write the Laws Act.[7]
