Letter: Candidate announces for senate

Posted by ChaddsFordLive on November 24, 2016

We live in a country that was founded by liberty lovers, with a document called the Constitution. We still are governed under this founding document but, ironically, we often toss liberty to the side in order to achieve some sort of political goals. Each time we do this we sacrifice our freedoms for some sense of security. Benjamin Franklin once said that when a person sacrifices liberty for security, they deserve neither. We allow the NSA to spy on us out of the name of security even though the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects us against such drastic overreaches of government. This, among many travesties such as the war on drugs, takes place on a daily basis.

Violations of the Fourth Amendment and all due process has been going on for decades, in the war on some drugs, in the name of national security and even in the attempt to override the Second Amendment.

Our national debt is about to exceed $20 trillion, which leaves our future generations enslaved. My little daughters, and the young sons and daughters of everyone are the ones who will have to pay that off.

There are so many things to be thankful for this holiday season, but there are many issues that need to be fought. That’s why I now am announcing my candidacy for United Stated Senate. I am running as a third party candidate, a Libertarian, challenging Pennsylvania’s 2018 seat that is currently held by Bob Casey. I will not sit back and concede, the children of the future deserve better.
