Name one thing you would most like to do before you die:

Visit every single legal brothel in Nevada. I've been to the Old Mustang Ranch, Sagebrush Ranch, Monas Ranch, and Dovetail Ranch.

Priority Issues:

A) Issue 1: Reform Education for grades K - 12
Will vote for a Pure School Voucher System for grades K - 12: Would involve phasing out gradually our Public School System and let private for-profit schools teach youngsters; parents would use School Voucher towards ANY private school of their choosing. You may view details of my Education Reform plan by reading the http://www.geocities.com/fperez_2008/school_voucher_eng.html hyperlink.
B) Issue 2: Eliminate all Victimless Crime Laws amongst consenting adults
Will vote to Decriminalize or Legalize all activities between consenting adults classified as Victimless Crimes that are currently illegal. Police should concentrate on catching REAL criminals, not individuals (a) pursuing their right to happiness and (b) that are not violating the rights of other individuals. This would free up our jails to punish real criminals such as rapists, murderers, robbers, child molesters, etc. As an example, I have proposed details, which you may read in the http://www.geocities.com/fperez_2008/prostitution_eng.html hyperlink, on how to decriminalize or legalize the sex worker professions (i.e., prostitution) amongst consenting adults.
C) Issue 3: Protection and Preservation of Private Property Rights
(a) Will vote to prohibit any Florida state, county, or local government entity
to use Eminent Domain in seizing private property - no exceptions.
(b) Will vote to Remove State-Level Zoning Law Requirements: Basically repeal all Florida State Statutes pertaining to zoning. Pass state-preemption law requiring county & local governments to move towards a no-zoning plan. (Note: Houston is a major city that has NO ZONING.) You may view details of my proposed plan by going to the http://www.geocities.com/fperez_2008/property_eng.html hyperlink.

Publications:

Wrote article entitled "The Case for a Deregulated Free-Market Telecommunications Industry" that got published in the December 1994 edition of the "IEEE Communications" magazine.

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I wish to use my run for Florida State House District 33 to help spread Libertarian political philosophy.
