One sentence:
I am running for Congress to help restore "Liberty
Under God."
30-seconds:
I am running for Congress to help restore "Liberty
Under God."
As the Libertarian candidate I believe I most closely
represent the fundamental values of the Constitution:
• Liberty, but not
license;
• Freedom AND personal
responsibility.
Too many Americans -- and most Congressmen -- have
forgotten the values for which our Founding Fathers risked their lives and which
made America great. Unconstitutional government destroys our liberties and
encourages irresponsibility; it stifles productivity and breeds dependence. I
would like to abolish bureaucracy and ever-increasing taxes and help guarantee
"the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity."

I am running for Congress because I
cannot be an attorney.
I see this as a symptom of the disease that is fast
becoming an epidemic.
I cannot be a lawyer because I believe in "Liberty
Under God."
The
same court which declared the Pledge of Allegiance to be
"unconstitutional" told me I could not have a license to practice
law because I believe America must return to the values of our Founding Fathers
and become a nation of "Liberty Under God."
By "Liberty"
I mean "binding the government down by the chains of the Constitution"
(Jefferson) and protecting our God-given rights; I mean using persuasion
rather than government force if my neighbor smokes too much or engages in a
tasteless lifestyle.
As the Libertarian candidate I believe I most closely

Too many Americans -- and most Congressmen -- have
forgotten the values that the Founding Fathers risked their lives for and which
made America great. Unconstitutional government destroys our liberties and
encourages irresponsibility; it stifles creativity and productivity and breeds
slavish dependence.
When the Framers of the
Constitution spoke of America as being a nation "Under
God" they meant a nation that obeys moral absolutes such as found
in the Ten Commandments: "the Laws of
Nature and of Nature's God." These are the values that keep our streets
safe, make high SAT scores possible, fuel a vibrant economy, and will make America
once again the most admired nation on earth.
I believe any government that will not be "under
God" is a government that thinks it is god.
My allegiance to God is greater than my allegiance to
the government, and courts across this nation have ruled that
"extremists" with this "attitude" cannot be lawyers, teachers,
or even American citizens.
America is no longer a "city upon a hill," a
beacon of liberty and morality to the world.
The only way to restore America's greatness is not by
more laws and government intervention, but by getting government out of the way of
Americans who believe in "Liberty Under God."
