When she didn’t see a candidate she could support for Montana’s lone Representative seat, she decided to do something about it. A former Democrat, Elinor Swanson is running for the position now as a Libertarian. Swanson has been campaigning throughout the state, even making a stop in Glasgow on Sept. 12, discussing her campaign stands on two basic philosophies: decrease the debt, and live and let live.
Her campaign website points out that every citizen in the country is $75,000 in debt due to federal borrowing. If elected, Swanson has pledged to reduce her salary by that exact amount as a donation to pay down the debt. Swanson strongly believes in the live and let live tenet, for both domestic and international policies. Recognizing the diversity of the country’s population and the improbability of agreement on a single set of cultural, religious and social values, she relies on the idea that people can live peacefully by respecting one another’s desire to live as they please, provided they do not harm any one. Underpinning the live and let live approach is her staunch opposition to international interventions that are not directly related to the U.S.’s national security, going so far as to say that she would not support military intervention, even in cases of genocide.

Sadly, they say she has a 1 in 100 chance.

Is surrender the answer to tyranny?
