Political Bio: Born in Phoenix, I will have lived in Arizona for 48 years by election time. I became interested in libertarian philosophy in the late 70's, getting an introduction to it from a Flagstaff physician, Dr. Murray Feldstein.
I left the Republican Party sometime in the early 90's disillusioned by their behavior and specifically the lack of criticism for the socialist legislation being offered by John McCain (www.McCainvHancock.org).
I discovered the Arizona Libertarian Party (www.AZLP.org) a couple of years later. And was very involved until the corrupt Arizona Appellate Court black robes handed control of the AZLP over to the State. Is there anything more antithetical to libertarianism than that? The black robes are above the people’s right to freely associate.
After that, I left the Party, but continued my activism as part of the Western Libertarian Alliance (www.WesternLibertarian.org) I am running this year as an "L-factor" candidate (www.theLfactor.org) with the mission of holding Trent Franks accountable for the shameless spending spree he has been on in the past two years in CONgress, and his unabashed support of the PATRIOT Act, the War in Iraq and the vainglory Presidency (www.Badnarik.org).
My Philosophy: Freedom good! Government bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. I will not initiate force, or fraud against any individual. I will resist those who do with all means at my disposal. I will approach all individuals with the idea of interacting with them through mutually agreed upon conditions. What other political or personal philosophy do you need? And wouldn’t the world be a more peaceful place if everyone learned to mind their own business?
