I am running for N.C. Senate for many reasons. Here are a few... ...I want to put an end to corporate welfare. Equal protection for all, special privileges for none. ...I want to extend tax credits to home and private school parents. ...I want to end the threat of eminent domain abuse, once and for all! ...I want North Carolina to have the smallest state government, possible. Help me send a message to the power brokers in Raleigh! Help me put the State in it's proper place...under the control of the people, "We The People"!

Below is section one from his treatsie on Natural Law... The science of mine and thine --- the science of justice --- is the science of all human rights; of all a man's rights of person and property; of all his rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is the science which alone can tell any man what he can, and cannot, do; what he can, and cannot, have; what he can, and cannot, say, without infringing the rights of any other person. It is the science of peace; and the only science of peace; since it is the science which alone can tell us on what conditions mankind can live in peace, or ought to live in peace, with each other. These conditions are simply these: viz., first, that each man shall do, towards every other, all that justice requires him to do; as, for example, that he shall pay his debts, that he shall return borrowed or stolen property to its owner, and that he shall make reparation for any injury he may have done to the person or property of another. The second condition is, that each man shall abstain from doing so another, anything which justice forbids him to do; as, [*6] for example, that he shall abstain from committing theft, robbery, arson, murder, or any other crime against the person or property of another. So long as these conditions are fulfilled, men are at peace, and ought to remain at peace, with each other. But when either of these conditions is violated, men are at war. And they must necessarily remain at war until justice is re-established. Through all time, so far as history informs us, wherever mankind have attempted to live in peace with each other, both the natural instincts, and the collective wisdom of the human race, have acknowledged and prescribed, as an indispensable condition, obedience to this one only universal obligation: viz., that each should live honestly towards every other. The ancient maxim makes the sum of a man's legal duty to his fellow men to be simply this: "To live honestly, to hurt no one, to give to every one his due." This entire maxim is really expressed in the single words, to live honestly; since to live honestly is to hurt no one, and give to every one his due. RESTORE OUR REPUBLIC Breaking News and Political Commentary I am sovereign human being, endowed with certain unalienable natural rights by my Creator. I have the right and responsibility to govern myself. No other human being has the moral authority to govern me, unless I violate the rights of others. Any human law that violates my natural rights is null and void. The U.S and North Carolina Constitutions were intended to place limits on political government, not the individual. Since I am not a government employee, these Constitutions have no moral authority over me at all. I repeat, any human law that violates my natural rights is null and void. Our republic is dead, replaced with a socialist democracy. Our elected leaders are puppets of the Corporate Fascists. We have the best "democracy" money can buy. The State doles out "protection" and "privileges" to the highest bidder. THE STATE IS A VILE AND GODLESS LIE! This website is dedicated to exposing that lie. I will use any peaceful means to fight the state. I seek to return the power to it's rightful owners, we the people. I am a Leveller. No person stands above me. No person stands below me. We are equal in the eyes of Deity. It is time to level the state. Equal rights for all, special privileges for none! "I am sure there was no man born marked of God above another," he declared, "for none comes into the world with a saddle upon his back, neither any booted and spurred to ride him."  Richard Rumbold, Leveller The Cabarrus Critic A Libertarian Perspective On Social & Political Issues Relative To Cabarrus "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God" -  Ben Franklin  "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
