Government that governs least governs best

A Sabrin-Booker U.S. Senate race will give voters in New Jersey--and around the country--an opportunity to hear two distinct visions for America: My views are that a government that governs least governs best, that you should keep more of your hard earned money, that your privacy must not be trampled by the federal government, that federal government spending must be reduced and that healthcare is too important to be managed by government bureaucrats, that the Federal Reserve should no longer manipulate interest rates and debase our money, and that we should not--I repeat, must not--be the world's policeman. This is in contrast to Cory Booker, who supports
  1. a bigger welfare state
  2. the federal government's gross violations of our civil liberties
  3. the health care nightmare known as ObamaCare
  4. the Federal Reserve's Wall Street bailouts and crony capitalism and
  5. a foreign policy based on nation building (the permanent security state/ permanent war).

1997: Reached millions of people via debate & matching funds

I was the New Jersey Libertarian Party candidate for governor in 1997. The primary goal of the campaign was to raise $210,000 by the September 2 deadline to qualify for matching funds and get a spot in three televised debates.

If we had not raised the minimum amount to qualify for the matching funds, I would not have been in the three debates, and we would have received much less than 1% of the vote. And the libertarian message would have been silenced in this campaign, for all intents and purposes. Because of the exposure I received during the 1997 campaign, I have become the unofficial spokesperson for libertarianism in the State of New Jersey.

Keep in mind, the New Jersey election commission (ELEC) denied our original application, because of a slight technical issue regarding an interpretation of the rules. We then had a hearing with an administrative law judge who ruled in our favor. We played by the rules, and in just six weeks, we reached millions of New Jerseyans.
