In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I strongly support small business and entrepreneurship. It should be easy to start a business without a bunch of licenses and permits.”
“We can't afford the massive cost of government at all levels. The federal deficit and national debt lead to inflation, so we must cut government spending.”
“I support personal freedom, economic freedom, digital privacy, and am anti-war and anti-foreign military intervention.”
“Frankly, you can't spoil something that's rotten and putrid to begin with,”
“The Libertarian approach, and my approach, is to attract people who believe in limited government, more freedom and less government, personal freedom, economic freedom, and a non-interventionist foreign policy,”
