I find the moral bankruptcy of both major political parties to be such a totally endarkening experience that I absolutely refuse to be forced into a South Park choice come this Tuesday. Instead, I'm going to vote (yes, vote) for a party and candidate, Michael Badnarik, who I believe to be most in alignment with the principles upon which this country was founded.

From its website:

The Libertarian Party is committed to America's heritage of freedom:
> individual liberty and personal responsibility
> a free-market economy of abundance and prosperity
> a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace, and free trade.

From their Trade and the Economy part of their platform:

We believe that each person has the right to offer goods and services to others on the free market. Therefore we oppose all intervention by government into the area of economics. The only proper role of existing governments in the economic realm is to protect property rights, adjudicate disputes, and provide a legal framework in which voluntary trade is protected.

Efforts to forcibly redistribute wealth or forcibly manage trade are intolerable. Government manipulation of the economy . . .

To those of you who are as disgusted as I am over the choice being offered us by the major parties this Tuesday please take the time to explore the website in depth. And if, like me, you also believe that this indeed is a breath of fresh air then please forward the information to those of your friends and other contacts who you feel would at least consider this alternative.
