For Immediate Release Wednesday, October 19, 2016
Scores of Libertarians running for federal, state, and local office have pledged to contain and reduce government in several areas. More American jobs, far greater access to health care, and lower taxes are among the many benefits that will result.
Specifically, Libertarian candidates have pledged to sponsor and work diligently to pass legislation that will:
- impose term limits on elected federal and state politicians;
- end state mandates on local jurisdictions;
- nullify and void state and federal regulations that were decreed by unelected bureaucrats, rather than voted on by elected representatives;
- expand health freedom at both the state and federal level to make it vastly more affordable, safe, and effective;
- end state government licensing ; and
- vote against expansions of government — at any level: federal , state , or local .
‘A lot of Democratic and Republican politicians talk a good game when it comes to getting government down to size,’ said Nicholas Sarwark, Chair of the Libertarian National Committee. ‘But almost never do they make bold, specific pledges like these, because they’re fueled by special interests who aim to expand government. So their campaign promises are either vague and vacuous, or they threaten more government.’
