"Bob Costello" is a free market political activist.

Costello previously served as the president of the Sam Adams Alliance. In the 1970s he was active in the Libertarian Party (United States)/Libertarian Party. In the late 1970s Costello was Executive Director of the Libertarian Party of California. In 1979 he helped organize the LPRadicals/"Radical Caucus" of the LP with Justin Raimondo and Eric Garris. During the 1990s Costello was active in the term limit movement and volunteered on the Steve Forbes for president campaign. In 1994 Costello founded Americans for Limited Terms which he was president of from 1994 to 1996. On efforts to put term limits on members of the U.S. Congress Costello worked closely with Paul Jacob and Howard Rich of U.S. Term Limits. By early 1995 twenty-three states had limited the terms of their congressional delegations, but five judges on the U.S. Supreme Court in May 1995 ruled in U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton reversing the decisions of voters. Fifteen states now have term limits on their legislatures.

Costello holds (or has held) director or leadership positions with the following organizations: U.S. Term Limits, Americans for Limited Terms, Acton Institute, SocialSecurityChoice.org, Evanston Police Pension Fund and Americans for Limited Government.
