(1) keeping the peace among citizens by prosecuting, arresting and punishing murderers, rapists, burglars, trespassers, and others who initiate force against peaceful, law-abiding citizens;
(2) provide a system which enables people to resolve disputes among one another
(3) to protect the nation from invasion or attack.

Free Trade and Open Immigration -
Individuals have a right to engage in mutually beneficial transactions with anyone in the world.  People have the right to buy and sell goods and services with people from all over the world. People also have the right to hire anyone from anywhere in the world.  Free trade and open immigration is the only moral thing to do.   The INS, Border Patrol and US Customs should be abolished.

Health care - 
I believe in the separation of health care and state.

Taxation -
It is morally wrong to initiate force against another human being. No tax can ever be morally justified. The American government was wrong to enact the 16th Amendment, permitting the imposition of the national income tax. It should be repealed, along with the Internal Revenue Service, along with all of the programs the income tax funds. The privatized services which the American people believe are important can be paid for privately and voluntarily.

Foreign Intervention and Foreign Wars -
The government should protect the nation from attack or invasion, however,  this does not mean interfering with the affairs or wars of other nations.  It is time to bring all troops home and dismantle the military-industrial complex down to a level necessary to protect the nation from attack. No war should ever be waged without a congressional declaration of war.

National Defense-
I support the maintenance of a sufficient military to defend the United States against aggression. The United States should both abandon its attempts to act as policeman for the world and avoid entangling alliances. I oppose any form of compulsory national service.

War on Drugs- 
Quite simply, the war on drugs is a total failure.  It is time to look at different alternatives.
Individuals have the moral right to engage in what others might consider to be self-destructive behavior. This is the essence of human freedom.  The war on drugs has destroyed families, caused violent crime, encouraged government corruption, and trampled upon our Constitution. The war on drugs is destroying the very fabric of our society. It should be ended through the total legalization of all drugs.

Abortion-
Individuals own their own bodies and have a Constitutional right to privacy (since those rights not taken away by the Constitution are retained by the people).  Government should not, in any manner be involved in abortion, neither promoting and paying for it nor forbidding it. However, I deplore abortion and think that it is immoral and believe that there are much better alternatives such as adoption.     

Education -
There is no better example of socialistic central planning than public (government) schooling. The entire education system depends on compulsory-attendance laws for customers, and funding is coerced through taxation. The results are predictable: students hate to learn and, even worse, are indoctrinated with the government's officially approved version of the proper role of government in a society. The only solution is a total separation of school and state - a repeal of compulsory-attendance laws and school taxes. Let the consumers decide the specific educational vehicle for each of their children and let entrepreneurs furnish those vehicles.

Foreign Aid - 
Foreign aid should be ended immediately.   Foreign aid is nothing short of welfare and bribery for foreign officials and governments.

Environment-
I support a clean and healthy environment and sensible use of our natural resources. Private landowners and conservation groups have a vested interest in maintaining natural resources. Pollution and misuse of resources cause damage to our ecosystem. Governments, unlike private businesses, are unaccountable for such damage done to our environment and have a terrible track record when it comes to environmental protection.

Internal Security -
The defense of the country requires that we have adequate intelligence to detect and to counter threats to domestic security. This requirement must not take priority over maintaining the civil liberties of our citizens.  The Bill of Rights provides no exceptions for a time of war.

Social Security / Other Welfare Programs -
It is morally wrong for the state to take money from one person and give it to another. A person has the right to accumulate unlimited amounts of wealth and decide for himself what to do with that wealth.  This right to choose is the essence of human freedom. Social Security is not a contract but rather a tax-and-welfare scheme, just like any other. Social Security, along with all other welfare programs, should be repealed immediately. Let each person decide for himself how to plan for his future. Let the truly needy be helped through the willing hearts of individuals, through voluntary action, through families, neighborhoods, church groups, civic groups, charitable organizations, and the like. We must recapture the American spirit of voluntary giving.

Self-Determination-
Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of individual liberty, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to agree to such new governance as to them shall seem most likely to protect their liberty.

Gun Rights - I fully support the 2nd Amendment with no exceptions.
