We Have To Pay Attention If We Want Good Government

We have a solemn duty to our fellow citizens and future generations to elect the least damaging candidate to the government of this great country. I know. It's sad to think we aren't electing an individual that really represents the majority of Americans. But our current election process does not allow much leeway in our choices.
One variable in the process are Libertarians.
 Libertarians tend to follow the constitution rather than a party.
Libertarians want people to be able to live peacefully together in civil society.
Cooperation is better than coercion.
Peaceful coexistence and voluntary cooperation require an institution to protect us from outside threats,
deter or punish criminals, and settle the disputes that will inevitably arise among neighbors—a government, in short.
Thus, to criticize a wide range of the activities undertaken by federal and state governments—
from Social Security to drug prohibition to out-of-control taxation—is not to be “anti-government.”
It is simply to insist that what we want is a limited government that attends toits necessary and proper functions.
In 2004, the CATO Institute reported that Libertarians made up as much as 11.4 million or 15% of voters in a national election. They don't normally fit into the conservative or liberal mold. They can be found in all parts of the country and all demographic groups. They are more likely than the average voter to be male, well educated, affluent, and living in the Mountain and Pacific West. They are more likely to own stock than other voters, making them a central part of the "investor class." I don't really fit this mold but I like the philosophy.

The reason I am bringing this up is that if more of us would take a little time to look at the issues and records of our politicians, we may get someone in office that is not another cookie cutter politician. Someone to sincerely look out for the best interest of of there constituents. Regain the perspective that the citizens working, paying taxes, contributing to our society, and making this country respectable, are their focus.
Voting and a little reading is the one way each of us can voice our opinion. Change the country for the better. Make the USA the American Dream for the world again.

Please make an educated vote. It is too important to vote for a pretty hair candidate that says nice things.

Remember in November.
