Ballotpedia biographical submission form

The candidate completed Ballotpedia's biographical information submission form:

What is your political philosophy?

I am a Libertarian I would strive to provide effective government but creating competitive and a desire to serve within the government. To down size government by providing nonprofit organizations were possible to take over the role of government. Example PERA is failing because all government pension funds fail when they run out of other peoples money. Like Europe spin the off PERA into a nonprofit and open the fund to all of the citizens if they wish to join.

Is there anything you would like to add?

If you believe that government can solve our trouble I am not your candidate. If you are willing to look at alternative solutions that have a track record of success you should be looking a Libertarian candidate. If you believe that the ever growing government is not taking away the peoples liberty I am not your candidate. If you believe that government should be first limited than made smaller vote Libertarian. If you are OK with the our growing debt with first cities and States declaring bankruptcy than finally the Federal government being forced to declare bankruptcy: I am not your candidate. If you wish to bring fiscal responsibility to government vote for a Libertarian.[2]
