The more centralized and monopolistic decision making becomes not only the less informed it will be but the less consideration of humanity it will contain. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/3J8Y5jnUIe

Foreign Intervention often times audaciously tries to impose the interests and ideals of outsiders ignoring the motivations, divisions and economics of other nations often creating more instability not less. Non-Intervention is about humility and respect for the world. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/hFCL092FBE

Artificial costs (Taxes,Tariffs, Regulations, Inflation) Create real struggle. Real struggle creates resentment, hostility and division as people scapegoat those who “appear” to get relief at their expense. Reduce costs, reduce struggle, reduce division. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/29IWr83fWa

Prohibition creates crime and enhances harm of what it prohibits while pushing any social challenges into the shadow where it can’t be measured or dealt with. Add in the economic/social effects of mass incarceration you got to ask yourself, why? #amliberty pic.twitter.com/Jaccp8oDtF

Thanksgiving is a day to reflect on what we have instead of lamenting what we don’t have. I’m thankful for family and friends, for those who’ve joined me on my journey at many levels and the freedom to empower myself and those around me. #amliberty

So much more determines the quality of your character and the impression I will have of you than how you approve/disapprove of any individual person.

If you choose your friends/enemies based on their like/dislike of someone else, you’re doing it wrong. #amliberty

The way your ideas are framed and presented have implications that go beyond policy. It also frames how people think about the challenges around them and whether they have any ability to surmount them. Give people truth but also hope. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/sBDxcNTpAl

But... Without government who would tax away my income and regulate business to the point everything is super expensive forcing me to have no other option but to turn to government for welfare? Who would send my kids to war and force addicts to deal with crime lords? #amliberty

Despite our disagreements, differences and divisions we all have something to offer. I’m just fighting for world that allows us ALL to be free enough to offer it, benefit from it and build upon on it. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/RQDrHWMDuj

”Populist is a word people use to describe many of the candidates running for office in recent times. While it’s clear the message of a Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders can be quite different, they are both clearly populist messengers.”#amliberty https://t.co/v0USel3rpR

People ask for centralization out of a desire for certainty and security. The result often is having your autonomy and opportunities taken from you permanently or sold back to you at a steep price. I reject licensing, prohibition, and micromanagement of society. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/I3lT26QOS7

Institutions like governments, enterprises, religions and societies have a life cycle like we do. When they are young they can adapt, change and thrive but when they get older become stale, top-heavy and static. Libertarianism allows this cycle to play out. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/SCZenJNF4Z

Lower taxes = more investment, consumption and savings for tough times. Less regulations = more entrepreneurs, the quicker we discover the best version of something. Free Trade, Travel and People = infinitely multiplies the benefit of lower taxes and regulations. #amliberty

Reasonable people build coalitions and can turn the conversation into practical action but the unreasonable tend to decide what’s the conversation. I’m unreasonably for the rights of all individuals. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/Cc1sSSPOgd

Ideals should be utopian, they exist to give us direction and purpose. The problem is when we don’t realize progress will take time, effort and allies or lose sight that even the slightest forward movement is fruitful. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/9kbUsOYu2c

People who want abridge the rights and autonomy of another often do so out of fear. As long as we operate in fear of each other we’ll never have as much liberty as we could. This is why I promote tolerance, forgiveness and patience, it paves the way for liberalism. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/nYvcgzuxN6

I’m not anti-right or anti-left, I’m pro-individualism. We can coexist with endless differences as long as we don’t attempt to compel uniformity on each other. We can debate, discuss and disagree peacefully together. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/kT8PmO1J42

How you treat others breeds reciprocity. I aim to breed reciprocity of kindness, Tolerance and forgiveness. Create a better world by being a better person and example. This reciprocity breeds a world of unrivaled liberalism. #AmLiberty #WorldKindnessDay pic.twitter.com/rMHitwAdmr

Veterans Day is a day for reflecting on what we have and what we’ve lost. For those who have their lives, cherish it and value it and never stop living it. For those who have lost someone, love the ones you have with intensity. Nothing honors the lost like living life. #amliberty

Tolerance doesn’t mean agreement, and it doesn’t mean not voicing criticism. It’s saying that disagreement isn’t the test on whether we can interact and coexist. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/oZE6PnFoJ5

Sometimes being Libertarian and trying to help others see the power they can unleash in themselves can be frustrating. Despite that, it’s the right message for the right reasons, so I’ll always push forward. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/SL00hRgvgD

As long as politics is about fighting over the reigns of power over each other it will be dominated by polarization and fear. When it becomes about making the case to each other to voluntarily collaborate we’ll have achieved libertarianism filled with hope. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/iVruD8ySnS

Remember compound returns. The gains now may seem small and meaning less but it builds upon itself and eventually becomes large and meaningful if you just keep growing. Never stop growing no matter how steep the hill may seem. #amliberty #advice pic.twitter.com/u2jxlzQV8m

Leadership isn’t telling people to do things better, it isn’t highlighting the failure of others and proclaiming yourself more wise. Leadership is not waiting for others and executing your vision and letting your example inspire others. #amliberty #advice

I just want people to be free to exchange, to organize, to love and to do anything else they damn well please with their life, body and property. #amliberty #libertarian

The status quo sells you fear in hopes you’ll give up the reigns over your life. Libertarians preach there is hope in your hands and in your actions, aiming to inspire you to take those reigns back. Take back your power and empower others. Be #Libertarian. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/3LldSsj7Y9

Taxes reduce your income. The cost of living increases from regulations, licensing and government loan programs also reduce your income. This means the need to work longer hours keeping you from your passions, family and community. Vote Libertarian. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/gLElzuIJoo

A Libertarian wants you to make more choices in your life not because you’ll always make the right ones, but because when you don’t you will learn and make better choices. If everyone makes better choices, we all grow together. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/32Qpk0cvM2

Being a strong team doesn’t mean you always agree on the path forward. You discuss, you debate and you may even get angry. What makes a good team is everyone respects each enough to come back the next day to work towards a shared mission. #amliberty #advice pic.twitter.com/ZtNYeI1mpx

I’m a Libertarian because I want to promote a HELLO Culture (Hope, Empowerment, Liberty, Love and Opportunity). Say GOODBYE to those other parties and join me in building that HELLO culture. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/jxF7YvmcgO

Voting defensively to prevent worse only allows you to end up with “less bad”. “Less bad” still gets worse and worse overtime. Only by voting offensively for better, good and best can we break from stagnation to growth, from volatility to stability, from fear to hope. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/45irR9I9M8

I rather talk and exalt what is libertarian than bring attention to the things that aren’t. Empowering yourself with enterprise, solving problems by voluntarily cooperating, enabling travel, trade, accumulating property and defending that property is libertarian. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/mR79tF6HTS

I’m not here to provoke, offend and disgust you with my opinions. I aim to endear, enamor and captivate you with the hope for the world of peace, voluntarism and opportunity that liberty brings in its wake. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/y9axrT6LSb

How can the world change if the people in that world can’t change it in their every action. Libertarianism is the only path that truly presents change because it’s the only path willing to give people the freedom to create the changes they want. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/DUaA8H0Tq4

True change requires a long term effort to break down status quo inertia. Voting Libertarian does exactly that. Voting Libertarian elects libertarians, topples ballot access barriers and sends a signal on the desire for autonomy. Every vote counts towards disruption. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/ZTVhccMEJ1
