STATEMENT:
In 25 years as a trial court judge, almost every type of
human problem has found its way into my courtroom.
I have developed a sense about what works and
what does not, both with human actions on the one
hand, and with laws and government programs on
the other. Outside the courtroom, much of my public
life has been devoted to advocating common sense
reform of our nation’s drug laws and policies. As a
Judge, I saw first-hand every day the toll that modernday
Prohibition is taking not only on human lives, but
on the courts, law enforcement and taxpayers. I have
long supported the rational legalization and regulation
of marijuana, including its use for legitimate medicinal
treatment. Likewise, I am an outspoken advocate
of education reform, civil liberties, and protecting
Americans’ privacy.
When Governor Gary Johnson of New Mexico asked
me to be his running mate, I was honored and excited,
because I believe him to be the most qualified person
to be President that I know of. We are both financially
responsible as well as socially tolerant, which is
exactly what is needed to bring our great country back
to prosperity, equal opportunity and freedom.
