Thomas Massie, forum member & elected official, is running a winnable race; let's help!

[Austin]

Thomas Massie is an active member of the forums. He has donated to Ron and Rand, and worked hard to get Rand elected in 2010. He was also elected to a County Judge Executive in 2010. In the first nine months of his administration, he eliminated enough wasteful government spending to pay his first three years salary as Judge Executive.

He is now running for Congress in an open primary. The district is heavily Republican, meaning a victory in the primary all but ensures victory in November.

Massie is great on fiscal policy. And like Ron, he understands the importance of protecting the Constitution and our civil liberties:

Thomas is opposed to ObamaCare, the Patriot Act, any new firearms restrictions, the intrusive actions of the Transportation Security Administration, indefinite detention of American citizens without trial, internet censorship, and all other infringements on our liberties by the federal government.

He just launched his new website, so let's celebrate by donating!

Great!

We need more candidates on the local level. Lots more. That's how real, permanent changes in favor of liberty will be enacted. BUMP for freedom, and I'll be back on in a bit to toss in a donation.

Wish I could, however I can't because he's a local official.

Huh?

[Austin]

Any other takers? Surely we can do more than $45...

[MRoCkEd]

Absolutely. Count me in soon.

Is there some kind of conflict of interest with your job or something?

[trey4sports]

is he a non-interventionist? Just curious.

[Brett85]

People probably won't think this is important, but what's his position on the abortion issue?

[JacobG18]

We should tweet Judge Nap about his run.

[Sweman]

He doesn't support Ron Paul for the GOP nomination.

1.) There is no way to mail a check to him, for those who prefer to do so.
2.) There is no way to contact the campaign via phone, email or form on website.

Fix pls thx.

Interesting candidate, however his plan to balance the budget is too modest especially considering how much the deficit is.

The plan is supported by the libertarian block in Congress.

Looks like he was nervous about being pigeonholed into being a Ron Paul supporter when he needs coalitions to win the election. I'm sure Thomas will come here and clarify that.

So he says debt is our biggest national security risk, but supports the empire that is largely responsible for it? OK...

[Jeremy]

Ouch. There are plenty of better candidates to support IMO.

Lol, not at all.

[YankeesJunkie]

The plan is supported by the libertarian block in Congress.

Cutting 1% of federal spending per year is definitely better than 0, but considering how much could and needs to be cut right away 1% just does not seem aggressive enough when there 70 billion to cut from the Dept. of Education and foreign aid which is 4% of the federal budget right there.

[GeorgiaAvenger]

I confess I am moving away from Ron's foreign policy just as Thomas appears to. But I am not moving towards somebody else's foreign policy either.

But even if Massie is just playing politics, good for him.

He said cut foreign aid in the video. The guy is an active member here, I think he knows what real cuts are.

Um when did he say that? O_O Did you even watch the interview? He said end foreign aid: stop building other countries while we can't rebuild our own.

I have talked to him numerous times before, but his answer concerning Ron Paul is troubling. I hope he clarifies his positions (that will ultimately decide my donation).

[Sweman]

And still he doesn't endorse Ron Paul for president?

[MRoCkEd]

All he said was he doesn't agree with all of them. Neither does Rand. I'm sure he is very similar; he echoed Ron's view of Afghanistan in a recent interview.
