Why Vote for Us
You might say that Doug and I are unlikely to win this election, so why should you vote for us?
We’re running on ideas — cut spending and taxes, reduce unnecessary regulation, bring our Guard home, allow Marylanders the right to self-defense. We are not promising to do anything that we won’t have the legal power to do, if we’re elected. And everyone knows it.
Before I was a candidate, I was a voter, just like you. I had switched my registration from independent to Democrat so that I could vote in that party’s primary election. In this virtually one-party state, the Democratic primary is treated by politicians and voters alike as the only election that really matters.
I gave up that privilege in 1992 when I registered Libertarian because I had come to see that it didn’t make a lot of difference whether a Democrat or a Republican was elected. If the candidate that one party wanted me to fear got elected, the world didn’t come to an end. If the candidate who was supposed to be better got elected, he or she didn’t act that much differently once in office than the “horrible” candidate I was being asked to vote against.
So, if you agree with 80-90 per cent of our positions, vote for us. Your vote belongs to you and no one else. Doug and I have decided to stop running on fear and start running on hope. What about you?
If we don’t start voting for what we want, then we’re never going to get it.
