Dear Friends and Acquaintences,

2005 has been an extremely hectic year. From January through June my time was dedicated to attending LP state conventions across the nation, and teaching my Constitution class anytime I could find people who would sit still for it.

In July my focus shifted to organizing a highly dedicated campaign staff for my current congressional campaign. Much of the groundwork for 2006 is in place, and by January we will have six full-time staff members working out of our Austin office. Just this afternoon we were discussing a plan to establish as many as six satellite offices across the district, so that volunteers and constituents would have nearby access to campaign materials. This is more exciting than watching my first live shuttle launch!

Although our office will be slowing down for the holidays, we still have rent and bills to pay before we head home to visit our families. Unfortunately, "Peace on Earth" is one of the things Santa never seems to deliver, so that is one gift we will have to earn for ourselves. I am hoping that you are filled with the spirit of the holidays, and that you are willing to contribute to the cause of Liberty - via my congressional campaign, of course. Even a small contribution will help us keep the fires burning - and the office open - until next month.

Please visit http://www.Badnarik.org and click on the donate button in the upper right hand corner. Your generosity is greatly, and sincerely appreciated. You can help even more by forwarding this message to your personal list of patriots freedom lovers.

And now, using the miracle of modern technology, I'd like to take a moment to personally wish you and your family the very best this holiday season. http://veepers.bluemountain.com/slip/NpD2fbPO2HgIJ_0t9QHodG

From my family, and the dedicated staff at Badnarik for Congress, have a very Happy Holiday, and an extremely prosperous New Year!

Michael Badnarik soon to be the first declared Libertarian in Congress

All of Michael Badnarik's positions should be viewed within the framework of a strict interpretation of the plain meaning of the US_Constitution. The principles of liberty, which include personal responsibility for one's own actions and a rejection of collectivist ideologies as both immoral (that is, involuntary collectivism always results in coercion and force) and suboptimal (that is, they produce much worse economic and personal satisfaction results) is his primary guiding force.

* Abortion: Badnarik personally opposes abortion, but believes that decisions regarding abortion rights should be made at the state and not the federal level. He recognizes that there is significant controversy surrounding when life begins, and argues that therefore the state should not legislate against abortion, since a fetus is not unarguably a human life.

* Broadcast regulation: Badnarik opposes government regulation of "offensive" content. "I find it very offensive when the government tells me what I can and cannot watch. [...] Individual people should decide what is or is not obscene and they will make that decision by watching or not watching reality TV."

* Campaign finance reform: Badnarik supports eliminating public matching funds and contribution limits for political campaigns.

* Civil rights: Badnarik supports all of the Bill of Rights unequivocally, a position which he claims contrasts with most political candidates. Badnarik says government does not grant rights but rather acknowledges them, that they exist independently of government as part of who and what we are, and that, as Jefferson noted in the Declaration of Independence, the only legitimate function of government is to secure them.

* Economic stimulus: Badnarik would stimulate the economy by eliminating the federal income tax in concert with drastically cutting government spending, effectively increasing personal income for most Americans. He also advocates the elimination of the Federal Reserve and the restoration of a commodity-based currency.

* Education: Badnarik supports the elimination of the federal Department of Education, claiming that it is both unconstitutional and ineffective. Badnarik has called for the privatization of education, which he believes would result in both more effective and affordable alternatives due to free-market competition.

* Energy: Badnarik opposes government regulation of the energy industry, instead arguing that the free market is more effective in controlling prices and maintaining stability. "All you need to know about economics is the law of supply and demand. When the supply of something goes down, the price of it will go up. And as the price of gasoline goes up, the consumerist at the pump is going to provide the incentive for finding alternative sources."

* Free trade: Badnarik would withdraw the United States from NAFTA and GATT. "NAFTA and GATT have about as much to do with free trade as the Patriot Act has to do with liberty," he has said. "We need to get the government out of regulating trade, so that American workers can do what they do best and that is to create wealth."

* Gay marriage and Civil Unions: Badnarik believes that marriage, as a contract between two individuals, should not be a concern of government, and supports the right of individuals to associate in whatever ways they see fit.

* Gun control: Badnarik opposes restrictions on gun ownership as restrictions on an individual's right to self-defense. Badnarik is an enthusiastic gun owner, and believes strongly in the Right to keep and bear arms.

* Health care: Badnarik opposes government involvement in health care and drug regulation, as he contends that the current drug approval process raises costs for consumers.

* Illegal drugs: Badnarik supports the decriminalization of marijuana and other illegal drugs, citing the restrictions on personal freedoms as a result of the War on Drugs. See also: Drug legalization.

* Immigration: Badnarik supports amnesty for certain illegal immigrants who already reside in the United States. Badnarik believes peaceful immigrants should be allowed to enter the country without restrictions or quotas, subject only to ensure they are not terrorists or criminals. Badnarik does not believe that the existence of a social 'safety net' is a good excuse for excluding immigrants.

* International relations: As president, Badnarik would avoid "entangling alliances" and would initiate "a rapid recall of our troops from around the world. Other countries will be less likely to attack us when we are trading goods that are necessary for their survival." He supports the reduction and eventual elimination of government-funded foreign aid programs.

* Iraq War: Badnarik supports a rapid withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq, while providing for repair to infrastructure damaged by U.S. action.

* Military draft: Badnarik opposes any reinstatement of a military draft.

Another Libertarian A-hole.

He has some strong points. But this point here is pure evil.

it's not pure evil, stone. government should have absolutely no say so in regard to whom one chooses to associate or marry, whether heterosexual, homosexual, or anything inbetween. that's a private contract between those individuals. got that?

A mariage is a contract between a man a woman and God. If they want to sign some kind of contract for a will or stuff like that, then I have no problem with that. Just don't mock God and call it a marriage. If you have kids, would you want them to see two men french kissing at the mall. If I owned a mall and two men were kissing I would have them thrown out and brought up on charges.

you missed the point. as usual. the point that badnarik is making, as am i, is that it's not the government's business. badnarik was not saying that he agrees with homosexual marriages.
