Why Scotty Boman?
About myself:
I don't know how to control your life.
I don't want to control your life.
And I know the Constitution does NOT grant Senators the Authority to control your life.
Why Libertarian?
The Libertarian Party is the ONLY political party that has consistently called for the relegalization of Drugs as a matter of principal.
1. Democrats & Republicans have been equally antagonistic to your right to control your own body chemistry.
· Presidents can pardon all federal prisoners.
· Governors can pardon all state prisoners.
This so-called "Land of the Free" has a larger portion of it's citizens in prison, than any other country on Earth. With a half million people being in jail for violating drug laws.
2. Nonetheless I applaud those who have chosen to be precinct delegates in one of the major parties. It doesn't hurt to have a vote on their party platforms.
3. But REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL PARTY we must make the right to control ones own bodies a hot-button issue. We must make it clear to the politicians that we will not vote for ANY candidate who supports the continuation of prohibition.
4. As a Federal candidate, I am here to tell you that politicians who have been enacting federal drug laws (that do not address border crossings, or trade across state lines) are themselves criminals.
· Your rights don't come from the Constitution, but many of those rights are protected by it.
The Constitution only permits the federal government to regulate trade between states, not trade within states. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS NO LEGAL AUTHORITY TO DENY LEGALIZATION OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA ON A STATE-BY-STATE BASIS.
5. What about our current Senators?
· This year Carl Levin is up for re-election. So I will address his voting record.
· He continues to support funding for the DEA.
· He voted for the Real ID act and continues to support funding for it. In case you haven't heard, next year every state is required to make their state's drivers license into a DeFacto national ID card that will store personal information about you and will contain RF technology that will make it possible for the government to track your every move. It will require a national data base that will serve as a one-stop shop for identity thieves. Possession of the Real ID will be required for most travel and to carry out most financial activity.
· He supports the Foreign Intelligence Survalance Act (FISA), and the "Anti-terrorism Wiretaps Amendment of 1995." Which make it easier for law enforcement authorities to use multipoint wiretaps. This removed restrictions that previously required judicial authorizations for every wiretap on a suspect, and creating a single multipoint wiretap authorization.
· He voted in favor of the "USA Patriot Act of 2001" that granted law enforcement more authority to search homes, tap phone lines, and track internet use of those SUSPECTED of terrorism for FOUR YEARS.
· He votes to continue support for the Iraq war while claiming to oppose it.
· Voted for a federal definition of marriage (as heterosexual only).
· Voted to create a Homeland Security Department and to keep detention and interrogation camps at Guantanamo.
So what will I do?
As your Senator, I will do everything in my power to:
· Support our troops and bring them home from Iraq.
· End the IRS, and replace it with more freedom.
· End the Federal Reserve "inflation tax" and return to honest money.
· Stop big government obstacles to health-care choices. This includes FDA harassment of supplement providers, and attempts to violate the jurisdiction of states that have chosen to legalize medical marijuana.
· Protect individual privacy and repeal the "Real ID Act." This national ID card is bound to become a one-stop store for identity thieves.
· Only spend money as authorized by the Constitution.
· Stop financial dependence on foreign nations and visa-versa.
· Never surrender United States sovereignty to supper-national bureaucracies. Limit involvement in, or withdrawing from the GATT, NAFTA, NAU, WTO, CAFTA, and ICC.
· Restore Habeas Corpus and repeal the so-called "Patriot Act."
· Begin plans to strategically close military bases abroad. Starting with nations that are able to manage their own defense (such as the NATO members in Europe).
· End the so-called "War on Drugs" and all other unconstitutional federal restrictions on Intrastate commerce.
