I was of the opinion that after Rand Paul was out of the primaries, Hieshyn Send a noteboard - 24/08/2017 11:17:49 PM

Ron (who I voted for in 2012) should have throwm his hat back into the ring. He is a familiar, consistant Libertarian face who has had a good deal of support from people on both ends of the political spectrum. I really thought that had he ran last year he could have pulled in a good percentage, definitely more than Gov. Johnson (who I voted for). The man has a certain level of charisma when he speaks that Johnson does not and he has been steadfast in his beliefs since he started appearing on the national circut, whereas Johnson seemed unsure about how to present himself and his beliefs during interviews.

Now is the time, if at any point in the last 160 years, to start bucking the trend of only voting for Party A or Party B. We as Americans need more options, there are more than two diametrically opposed ways to run a government.

Also we need to get the 100 million eligible voters who decided to stay home off their asses and get them to the polls. We have one civic duty above all others in this country and thats voting. It takes an hour. Even if you arent involved in politics at all, take 30 minutes to research thw candidates and their platforms and get out to the booth and vote. Voter apathy is the greatest threat to our continuing democracy.

The God King mourns...
