Do you need someone to tell you what to do, or are you ready to stand up for yourself?

This election cycle has been brutal.  The electorate has been bombarded with negativity, pandering, outright lies, and business as usual.  I just wanted to remind the voters of Ohio that this year, you do have an alternative to the two corporate parties.  

Libertarians have worked hard to get on the ballot in this state, and there is a full slate of extremely well qualified statewide candidates, as well as many honestly superior candidates in local races.

We do not have corporate backing, because we don’t promise any kick backs, favoritism in legislation, or bailouts.  We don’t get a lot of press, with a few surprising and appreciated exceptions, because the media says we have to get more attention before they will give us coverage; a real catch-22.  Against those odds we are the growing voice of reason in the political landscape.  So now is the time to cast a vote that will, contrary to popular logical fallacies, really count!

Cast a vote for Libertarians and you are casting a vote against war and foreign adventures that do not benefit our citizens, costing us billions of dollars and the priceless lives of our brave men and women.   Cast a vote for Libertarians and you are casting a vote to end the drug war, which cost billions of dollars, compromises our civil rights, destroys countless lives, creates an underclass of citizens, and turns whole communities into poverty stricken war zones; all for what?  Cast a vote for Libertarians and you are casting a vote for equal rights and protections under the law for everyone, no matter your race, creed, sexual orientation, or country of origin.  Cast a vote for Libertarians and you are casting a vote for innovation in the economy, education and health-care.  Federal solutions create federal problems when the inevitable unintended consequences come home to roost.  Freedom and accountability is the answer to all of these problems.

We are the only party who will freely admit that we do not know how to, nor do we want to, run your life or your business.  Do you need someone to tell you what to do, or are you ready to stand up for yourself?  Now is your chance, vote Libertarian on November 2nd!
