What's In This For You

In a phrase: I'll enable you to TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE.

Your life is yours by right of birth; all of it! Yet without our noticing what they have been doing, these 220 years or so, government people have taken roughly half of it away from our control and placed it under theirs. You need to take all of it back, and I'm here to show you how.

All other politicians want to keep control over us, and distract us from that totally central fact by talking about irrelevant trivia. I don't. I want you to have it back; to run your own life. All of it.

What's in this for you? - I'll slash all your taxes so you can take back almost all your money; I'll show you you can take your children back from the government indoctrinators, and I'll let you have back all those hundreds of innocent activities that government loves to prohibit or regulate.

What's in it for you, to vote for me for Governor? Feast your eyes on this:

1. MONEY

This is the key to a vast range of other freedoms, and when I'm done as your Governor, you will have 100% control over almost all the money you acquire honestly. You'll not have to pay any taxes to the State, very little to the Feds, and with some effort and good fortune, not even any Town property taxes!

Read here what that will mean for the future prosperity of your family, and how I will set about keeping this promise.

2. SCHOOLING

Today in New Hampshire as elsewhere, our children are indoctrinated for 12 years in a government institution. That is falsely called "education", and is provided "to each according to his need" and funded by money taken "from each according to his ability." That arrangement is pure Marxism.

Republican Marxists want to preserve the existing Town Marxist system, with each locality making up a little commune. Democratic Marxists now want to change it into a State Marxist system, with the whole of New Hampshire becoming one large commune, or Collective, for this purpose.

But I hope you're not a Marxist at all; I want you, individually, to decide how you will educate your OWN children with your OWN money. I want to see no communes whatever. So if you too are a non-Marxist, vote for me: I alone am offering you this THIRD CHOICE.

See how schooling would work when government is 100% out of education, and how you can help me expel them.

3. PARTICULAR CONCERNS

While all of us are concerned about taxes and schools (at one time or another), there is also a huge range of other areas of life which we need to take back - but any one of us may only be concerned about a few of them at any one time.

So here's a list of some of those areas for you to look through, to find those that particularly interest you at present - along with an account of how, as Governor, I'll help you take back your life there too. The only price is that you'll be tolerant of others doing the same.

4. JUSTICE

True justice is prerequisite for both peace and freedom; and government has miserably failed to deliver it, at ANY level. So ideally, I'd like to see all aspects of a justice system (detection, prosecution, trial, resolution) taken over by a free commercial market - which alone has proven capable of delivering quality service at minimal price.

In a single term as your Governor, that may exceed my ability. But what I can promise to do is to reform the worst aspect of the present monopoly: the government's routine, unconstitutional jury tampering. I will make quite certain that no jury is empanelled before all of its members know that they must judge the matter before them on the basis of reason and conscience alone, with full power, if they wish, to overturn the Law (for that one case) and ignore the Judge. See how that single step will slash the power of government in half, overnight.

Oh, and under "Justice" I'll do one other vitally important thing: as you'll see on other Pages, I'll make frequent, liberal use of the Governor's power of pardon. Just in case a jury is bullied into getting it wrong.
