Gail Lightfoot on Foreign Policy

2000 Libertarian Challenger for Senate (CA)

 


Opposes linking Human Rights to trade with China

I would let individuals and business decide what products to buy without government interference. I would let consumers know who does mistreat their citizens or workers so the consumer could make informed decisions about products based on knowledge of the company's policies.

Opposes continuing Foreign Aid to Russia, Israel, & others

Taking our money by taxing us to give it to others is morally wrong. We must let individuals and the business community help other nations without using the hard earned money of our fellow Americans. Some may object to one program over another. Let individuals decide who is deserving of their help through the private sector.

Endorsed Liberty Candidate: US abroad unconstitutional & unaffordable.

Lightfoot is endorsed by Congressional endorsement list

A Liberty Candidate will Defend the Great American Principles of A Non-interventionist Foreign Policy and Sound Money, [such as the views of] Adam Kokesh, Congress 2010 candidate from New Mexico, on foreign Policy: `Taken as a whole, America’s current foreign policy is a grossly unconstitutional one that we cannot afford. It has put us in a situation where children born today are burdened with an impossible debt. It is premised on a twisted version of American exceptionalism which assumes we have the right to police the world without respect for the sovereignty of fellow nations. If we hope to be respected in the global community, we would be wise to heed the advice of Thomas Jefferson and seek, `peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations--entangling alliances with none.` `
