Thomas Jefferson

Personal Hero and Why:

Barry Goldwater, who ran for president in 1964. My platform is based on this quote: I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed in their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is ?needed? before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible.

Priority Issues:

Stop all war
Bring back the Constitution.

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I'm standing for election to the General Assembly because I believe in the people of North Carolina. I believe in their spirit, their ingenuity and their compassion. Our state is a place where individuals succeed through voluntary social cooperation solving humanity's most critical challenges through free market innovation with dignity, respect, and understanding.

The Libertarian Party is particularly proud of the many ways in which neighbors help neighbors, families encourage families, and how people are strengthened when coming together with mutual respect and understanding. While celebrating our tradition of sacrifice for freedom and liberty we welcome diversity and change, respecting the dignity of all individuals.

Government far too often stifles innovation through regulation, subverts compassion through bureaucracy, and suppresses achievement through economic manipulation. This limits the potential to work together voluntarily, to achieve shared successes, and to live for our individual fulfillment.

Libertarians believe that state, county and local governments should never be allowed to stand as obstacles to the people of North Carolina, obstacles to who we are, who we can be, and what we can achieve.

I'm asking for your vote, for me and for all Libertarian candidates in Wake County, as well as for Sean Haugh for U.S. Senate, Lon Cecil for Governor, and J.J. Summerell for Lt. Governor.
