I would like your vote for State Assembly because I want to increase the liberty of all the honest, law abiding citizens of the 35th District.

I want to end the war on drugs that is keeping our jails overcrowded with people who have done harm to no one else but themselves, and necessitates turning real criminals out into the streets. We must stop harassing people who are using marijuana as prescribed by their doctors to relieve the symptoms of various illnesses.

I want to ease the tax burden that takes so much of what we earn and gives it to politicians and bureaucrats. Right now, I'm spearheading the Windfall Energy Tax Initiative here in the City of Ventura to get a proposition on the ballot in November to reduce the electricity tax that is levied on the citizens of the City of Ventura to pre-energy crisis levels.

If I'm elected, I will vote for liberty, and for the ability of everyone in the 35th District to keep and use what they earn, every time, and on every issue. I also want educate and inform those who have forgotten the principles that the country was founded on; that of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
