Hi
all. It is with great disappointment and much thought that I write to
tell you I have decided not to run for U.S. Congress in 2014. I spent a
lot of time this past weekend discussing it with my wife Traci and my close
friends and advisors. After thinking
deeply about the nature of running for political office and being a member of
Congress I have decided that running for political office at this point in my
life may not be the best use of my time for the cause of freedom.
Although the appeal of reaching more people with the case for freedom entices
me, there are lots of things about the entire project that discourage me.
Politics is a dirty business, and it involves telling people what they want to
hear. I am more likely to tell people what
they don’t want to hear. Modifying or watering down my position is not
something I am willing to do.
Although
I remain an activist for freedom, I am just not a political guy. I don’t
like the “dirt” and gamesmanship of politics. I also don’t like asking
people to donate money to my campaign. There are many other factors as
well. In the end, this just isn’t the right time in my life to endeavor
into the political realm. I remain open to the possibility there may come
a time I decide to wade into those political waters once again, but it isn’t
now. I apologize to those who have already begun to assist with my
campaign. I appreciate all the efforts of those who have offered to
assist me. Anyone who has donated to my campaign will receive a refund for
the money you contributed. For those who
have volunteered, I wanted to get this out as quickly as possible to you to
thank you for all you have done so far.
Also, I wanted to make this announcement early so you would not commit
more of your time and resources.
I hope
we can nonetheless continue the fight for freedom through other non-political
avenues. I will continue to fight for freedom in my law practice, with my
radio show, in future articles, in speeches, and in many other ways. I
invite you to use whatever talents you have to also promote freedom in whatever
peaceful ways fit best with your skills and desires. Slowly, people are
realizing freedom works better than enslavement and coercive government.
As I have said many times, there is no centralized plan for freedom.
Let’s keep up the fight.
Peace.
