2018 MD Senate race: on Government Reform


Arvin Vohra: Make voter registration easier for Libertarians

Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "Make voter registration easier"?

A: Agree. Today, in many states, Libertarian voters face blockades to registering Libertarian, or voting for Libertarian candidates. The two old parties do everything they can to keep us off the ballot entirely. That is completely immoral. I will do everything I can to stop that kind of voter suppression. Voting is not just for Democrats and Republicans. Libertarians have the right to vote our conscience.

Chelsea Manning: Government is not helping us; we need to help ourselves

We need someone willing to fight. We need to stop asking them to give us our rights. They won't support us. They won't compromise. We need to stop expecting that our systems will somehow fix themselves. We need to actually take the reins of power from them. We need to challenge them at every level. We need to fix this. We don't need them anymore. We can do better. You're damn right. We got this.

Sam Faddis: Stop passing the buck, take responsibility for our problems

Recently, he decided it was "time to stop recommending that somebody else do something about" America's problem at home and overseas, and step up to the plate himself. "We have to solve problems and get things done," which he said he has had a lifetime of experience doing.
