Letters: Vote Libertarian for president

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have declared each other to be “unfit to be president.” They’re both correct. Both are woefully dishonest and determined to continue the federal government’s malicious war on individual freedoms. Common-sense Americans would be crazy to vote for either of these surreptitious characters to lead the executive branch of government.

The logical choice to restore personal liberty is Libertarian. A team of successful, two-term, former Republican governors — Gary Johnson and William Weld — will be on the Libertarian line of the ballot in all 50 states. They have more executive experience in government and a better commitment to constitutional principles than any other candidates.

By voting Libertarian, we have nothing to lose. The party won’t have a majority in Congress, and Libertarians have too much respect for the Constitution to legislate by executive order. For the first time, we’d actually have an executive branch that would work with Congress from a position of strength because it would not be beholden to either party or lobbyists.

A President Gary Johnson would work for us, from the White House, to right the ship of state by eliminating the corrupt IRS in favor of a fair, honest tax system and by reforming other despotic federal agencies that are destroying liberty.

The Libertarian platform is on their website. You won’t hear about it on TV, but it will be on the November ballot.
