MEET WES BENEDICT
Wes Benedict is an engineer, small businessman, husband, father, and served as Executive Director of the Libertarian Party in Washington, D.C.
Most people realize the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq were mistakes, yet no one in Washington has the courage to end those tragedies. The President and Congress keep growing government spending regardless of which party has control. Wes Benedict will support legislation to end the wars and bring our troops home. He proposes cutting spending across the board by 25% to balance the budget. Instead of asking what new program or law is needed in response to every problem, Wes asks, "What laws are causing the problem?" What is a Libertarian? Libertarians believe you should be able to do whatever you want as long as you aren't infringing on the equal rights of others. Conflict in our society is caused by people trying to force their opinions onto others. Libertarians oppose using force to change people. It's okay to try to persuade others to change, but it's not okay to use government force. Live and let live. Libertarians serve in hundreds of local offices across the nation and hope to serve in Congress one day. "I want your vote. But, whether we win or lose this election, your vote for a Libertarian helps put pressure on Congress to end these foolish wars, balance the budget, and to legalize marijuana." - Wes Benedict Enough is Enough! Vote Libertarian!
