End warrantless wiretaps and FISA abuses
It is often the case that the worst government abuses come disguised as protection from danger and harm. If you feel in danger, it becomes easy for the government to have you trade your liberty for the illusion of security.
We have warrantless wiretaps, abuses of the FISA courts, and an overarching Patriot Act to name a few.
Even worse, we attempt to imprison those who expose the hard truths we need to hear. As President, I will fight to end these programs which eat away at your
constitutionally protected privacy and civil liberties and pardon those who have blown the whistle on abuse and illegal actions of our government.

Let innovators reduce carbon; not federal-chosen technology
Q: You don't support government addressing climate change?A: Government involvement stifles innovation. We need to let the marketplace innovate. It just requires us to buckle down and American innovation will develop the technologies that will power
us into the future not using carbon-based fuels. In the meantime, government doesn't really have a role.
Q: Can you name a market-driven innovation that reduced carbon emissions without a government incentive?
A: It's very hard to get that because of
the Big Government world we live in. Every major company is reaching out for every subsidy and giveaway they can. But we need to bring market competition back to it, [not] a scramble for who can get the next federal dollars. Elon Musk would've developed
the Tesla [electric car] with or without subsidies. Of course he'll take the free money, but that's your money going into Elon Musk's pocket. We don't need to give money to Green billionaires to develop new technology; they'll do that on their own.
