A Moral Case For Marijuana

patrick | February 18, 2010

A lot of talk has been going around about marijuana and whether it should be legal, illegal, or just heavily regulated. The only moral solution to the problem of marijuana I see is to legalize it. Smoking marijuana is a victimless crime that for some reason has become criminalized. As I see it, the government is making mountains out of molehills with this issue.

Is Medina Out?

amanda | February 11, 2010

Debra Medina has made fantastic strides in her run for governor of Texas, jumping from 4% in the Rasmussen poll in November to 12% in January.  Compared with her opponents, she seems to be the most liberty-oriented candidate in the race.  While Kay Bailey Hutchinson voted for the $700 billion bailout bill, Governor Rick Perry [...]

Go Green Or Die

patrick | January 13, 2010

In a great article entitled, No “footprint”, No Life, Keith Lockitch of the Ayn Rand Institute points out the futility of trying to live by the environmentalists’ rules.

Jimmy Lakey Runs for 7th Congressional

ari | December 23, 2009

I attended the Red Rocks Liberty On the Rocks December 7 meeting, where Adam Schrager discussed his inspiring book about Ralph Carr. Jimmy Lakey, a candidate for Colorado’s 7th Congressional district, also attended that meeting, so I pulled out my audio recorder and asked him some questions.

In business Lakey promotes Christian music. Lakey adopted a son from Africa and continues to participate in charity work there. His biographical notes take up Part I.

For Part II, Lakey said he is running to protect the future of his son as a new American citizen. He said he is not and does not want to be a career politician. He questioned the decision of Ryan Frazier — another Republican in the race — to extend same-sex benefits in Aurora in a time of fiscal downturn.

For Part III, Lakey contrasted his views with those of incumbent Ed Perlmutter. While Lakey stressed his fiscal conservatism, Lakey also discussed his “faith-based beliefs” and endorsed the “personhood” measure slated for the 2010 ballot (defining a fertilized egg as a person).

A Host of New Regulations Coming Our Way

amanda | December 10, 2009

Dear Friend of Freedom,
This week, the House of Representatives is expected to vote on Barney Frank’s financial regulatory reform bill, which is yet another thousand page-plus attempt to increase the powers of Congress and the Federal Reserve while destroying more of what little free market our country has left.
Composed of several bills, the final package [...]
