From the Preamble of the Libertarian Party Platform:
“As Libertarians, we seek a world of liberty: a world in which all individuals are sovereign over their own lives and are not forced to sacrifice their values for the benefit of others. We believe that respect for individual rights is the essential precondition for a free and prosperous world, that force and fraud must be banished from human relationships, and that only through freedom can peace and prosperity be realized. Consequently, we defend each person’s right to engage in any activity that is peaceful and honest, and welcome the diversity that freedom brings. The world we seek to build is one where individuals are free to follow their own dreams in their own ways, without interference from government or any authoritarian power.” To end the duopoly, we must stop weighing our choices between "the lesser of two evils." That is not a choice at all. Check out the Libertarian Party of Washoe County Register to vote, or make changes |
Money and politics are poor bedfellows. I stand on my principles that money should be removed from politics — therefore, I am not taking any campaign donations, nor will I litter the landscape with billboards/signs, or invade your privacy by knocking on your door or calling or texting without your consent.
However, I am always happy to have a conversation with any resident to hear about your values, dreams, concerns, or needs. Please get in touch!
