Libertarian Party

The Libertarian Party highly values liberty, and idealizes a world where every individual makes his or her own choices for themselves. They have elected Gary Johnson as president and William Weld as vice president. The national debt, war on drugs, and civil liberties are three main issues to the candidate. Gary Johnson strongly believes that excessive spending by the government is one of the greatest threats to national security, legalizing marijuana would create a safer society and an industry that can aid the American economy, and the average American’s civil liberties are being threatened by an overly intrusive government.

I definitely agree with her stance on improving energy usage and making alternative energy sources commonplace, these are important changes that could aid the environment. I do think the concept of education reform like she proposed is a good idea, but I don’t know enough about other potential systems to say whether or not it’s a priority to me. I agree with her on the abolishment of various unethical programs, and I think this is an issue that other politicians need to prioritize as part of making the United States a more humane place to
