What is Libertarian Reform?

I have been both a disillusioned Democrat and a disillusioned Republican. I have come to the conclusion that there is not a dime's worth of difference between them -- the powers that be in each party seek to expand the size and scope of government, to the detriment of the people.

I have given up on the two-party system, and have dedicated myself to building a viable alternative in Arizona. To this end I have served as Chairman of the Reform Party of Arizona, and I now am running as a Libertarian.

I therefore call upon Independents, Libertarians, Reformers, members of the Constitution Party, disenfranchised Democrats and Republicans, and others of good will to help me build a principled alternative to the Democratic and Republican parties, which have been aptly described as two wings of the same bird of prey.

How Can an Libertarian Get Elected?

This will be a three-way race this year, which promises lots of excitement. I expect to face either Republican incumbent Carolyn Allen or challenger Robert Ditchey, and Democratic newcomer Stuart Turnansky. To win in this three-way race, I need to more than double the vote I earned in 2002.

I can do it! -- Last time I was shut out of most publicity venues because I was dismissed as a "write-in candidate." But I still got over 15% of the vote! Since this year I am not a write-in candidate, the sky is the limit. Double last election's votes and add 4% and I could be in!

What Can a Libertarian Do If Elected?

Some folks assume that if I am not part of the entrenched two-party system that I will be unable to accomplish anything even if elected. My first answer to that is simply that I will have one vote out of 30 in the State Senate. That is far greater leverage than your vote in the general election -- which does indeed count!

My second answer is that, since I am not beholden to the Democratic or Republican establishment, I can act as an honest broker representing the people of Arizona against politics as ususal, and leverage my swing vote to good advantage.
