Just recently Trent Lott, Republican Senator from Mississippi, retired. He has been replaced by Roger Wicker, the Congressman from the 1st district in Mississippi. This means that the 1st Congressional seat of Mississippi is now open. Thus, a chance to try and get a Liberty-minded candidate running and elected.

I will try and contact candidates running for this office and see where they stand. Any ideas for "litmus test" type questions? I can think of several right away.
1--will you pledge never to vote for a tax increase?
2--will you pledge never to vote for an unbalanced budget, except perhaps in time of Congressionally declared war?
3--will you pledge never to vote for any bill which would restrict individual gun ownership?
4--will you pledge never to vote for any bill which restricts the freedom of individuals to engage in political speech on the internet, on radio, in newspapers, or on television?
5--will you pledge to use the US Constitution as your sole guide in deciding what legislation you will vote yes for, and vote no for a bill which has any language you deem to contradict the Constitution?
