MEET WES BENEDICT
Wes Benedict is an engineer, small businessman, father, husband, and served as Executive Director of the Libertarian Party in Washington, D.C., fighting for our freedoms.
Republicans and Democrats in Congress keep growing the budget regardless of which party has control. Most people now realize the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq were mistakes, yet no one in Washington has the courage to end those tragedies. Wes Benedict is a Libertarian who understands that freedom leads to peace and prosperity, while government involved makes most things worse. Instead of asking what new program or law is needed in response to every problem, Wes asks what existing policies are causing the problem, and what new problems will your new laws create? Wes Benedict will support legislation to end the wars and bring our troops home. He'll vote to cut spending across the board by 40%, including cuts to Social Security, Medicare, the military, and other categories. What is a a Libertarian? Libertarians are tolerant and accepting, and 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 ideas onto others. Libertarians oppose using force to change people. Persuasion is the peaceful path for change. It's easier to analyze problems and come up with solutions that help everyone if your heart is in the right place. Wes encourages you to be kind to everyone, especially those who are different or are experiencing hard times, including Muslims, illegal immigrants, transgendered, homeless drug addicts, and all God's children. |
