My name is Alex Furman. I am a hardworking American man, I love my wife, I love the principles of liberty this great nation was founded on, and this is why I hate what our government has become. We've sacrificed our freedom and greatness to feed and make numerous the worst and least among us. We've given our children up to be raised at schools in a system that despises us. Our governments have turned poor against rich, race against race, child against parent, man against woman, and countryman against countryman. It's time to take our country back. And that starts with taking our freedoms back.
We are letting the government drive us off a financial and cultural cliff, and I am a man asking for your help to wrench that steering wheel back.
- Whatever a government can do, free people can do better.
- Separate Economy and State. Liberate the Democratic Plantation
- End The Fed. It's time to take our money back.
I am particularly passionate about welfare reform as it is possibly the most far reaching and catastrophic set of policies ever foisted on the American People. Welfare destroys individuals, which destroy families, which destroy civilizations. Welfare pays for today's mediocrity at the expense off tomorrows greatness.
Anatomy of the State by Murray Rothbard
The Non-Aggression principle and the doctrine of property rights, and western tradition of justice.
To create and/or conserve the maximum amount of personal liberty possible.
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
Laid by James
I think it very important that they do not.
The size and scope of the government and the moral degeneracy and bankruptcy required for a people to tolerate said government.
Anything on War, Economics, Monetary Policy, Race, or Welfare
I believe that 0.00 Years is the correct term length for every government official.
All terms and labor contracts should be precisely what the tax rate should be: 0.00
Ron Paul and Thomas Massie
