If you do, then you must stop supporting big government. Al Gore wants to make government much bigger. He's proposed a long list of a new programs. So have George W. Bush, Pat Buchanan and Ralph Nader, although the details vary considerably. If you really want a smaller government, this let's vote out the Democrat, Republican, Reform and Green party candidates. Who does that leave? Only one -- Harry Browne, the Libertarian candidate. He is the only one who wants to get the federal government out of every unconstitutional program where it's made such a mess -- health care, education, law enforcement, welfare, foreign aid, corporate welfare, highway boondoggles, farm subsides. Browne wants to make the federal government so small you won't pay any income tax. He wants to free you from the Social Security system by selling government assets to finance private retirement accounts for anyone now dependent on Social Security. That's so we can stop paying the 15 percent Social Security tax. He wants to end the insane war on drugs and treat drug abuse as a medical problem, not a criminal act. He wants to restore completely your unconditional right to keep and bear any weapon necessary to defend you and your family. Only the Libertarian Party consistently promotes less government, less regulation, lower taxes and less spending. By voting for Bush or Gore, you send the message that you like what they have been doing and that you want more of the same. By voting Libertarian, I send the message that I am mad as hell and I won't take it any more. Doug Hoiles, Acampo - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
