| Collapse all
- Federal Financial Stability – • Reduce taxes • Eliminate wasteful foreign budget spending • Reduce agency budgets and personnel • Eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse • Grow and promote U.S. businesses • Reduce suppressive regulatory hurdles for businesses
- Defense and Veterans Care – • Strong National Defense for our protection and emergencies • Border policy and protections improvements • Eliminate Red Flag and domestic spying laws • Reduce and end foreign conflict and costly overseas contingency operations and contracts • Expand community healthcare programs for veterans, and better integrate records, billing, and coding for community healthcare
- Full Medical Freedom – • Define and resolve personal sovereignty, or self-ownership • Regain individual medical and personal decisions • Demand independent review of the vaccine approval and research data • Further protect privacy of patients • End federal cannabis prohibition and expunge all federal cannabis records
- Remain vocal and resist increases in overall federal taxation and budgeting. Demand all federal agencies audit and prepare to reduce costs immediately.
- Better border policies and security improvements
- Support readiness for the U.S. to maintain the strongest and best trained all-volunteer military force for OUR National Defense
We hold that all individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose.
Governments throughout history have regularly operated on the opposite principle, that the State has the right to dispose of the lives of individuals and the fruits of their labor. Even within the United States, all political parties other than our own grant to government the right to regulate the lives of individuals and seize the fruits of their labor without their consent.
We, on the contrary, deny the right of any government to do these things, and hold that where governments exist, they must not violate the rights of any individual: namely, (1) the right to life — accordingly we support the prohibition of the initiation of physical force against others; (2) the right to liberty of speech and action — accordingly we oppose all attempts by government to abridge the freedom of speech and press, as well as government censorship in any form; and (3) the right to property — accordingly we oppose all government interference with private property, such as confiscation, nationalization, and eminent domain, and support the prohibition of robbery, trespass, fraud, and misrepresentation.
I worked there for the duration of my Summer break in 1997.
That being said, I believe my personal knowledge and experiences in politics and government have made me better suited to serve.

Afghan citizens were left unarmed and defenseless after U.S. and Coalition Forces took all the semiautomatic and small arms weapons from the citizens. We must protect our right to access firearms, with no compromise. We learned how quickly a government can fail and enemies can conquer a territory by simply looking at what the U.S. and Coalition Forces did in Afghanistan. After a hasty and sloppy withdraw, the Taliban simply took back over with no time to spare.[2] |

William is a veteran of the U.S. Army and the Indiana Army National Guard from 2005-2015. William served honorably and with distinction, Afghanistan 2009-2010 and Kuwait 2012-2013. Henry earned the Bronze Star Medal for meritorious service in Afghanistan. Henry administrated over The American Legion, Department of Indiana. Henry helped organize and lead alliances in statewide veteran advocacy. Henry helped expose corruption, fraud waste, and abuse at the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs. Henry Ran as the Libertarian Party of Indiana Lieutenant Governor Candidate in the 2020 General Elections.
Henry worked hands-on in a central laboratory for the emergency vaccine trial process. Henry gained personal knowledge and experience of FDA approval process during the peak of viral testing and vaccine data analytics.- Financial Stability – • Reduce agency budgets, reduce fraud, waste, and abuse • Grow and promote U.S. businesses • Reduce regulatory hurdles and foreign trade dependence
- Defense and Veterans Care – • Strong National Defense for our protection and emergencies • Reduce and eventually end foreign conflict and costly overseas contingency operations and contracts • Expand community healthcare programs for veterans, and better integrate records, billing, and coding for community healthcare
- Full Medical Freedom – • Define and resolve personal sovereignty • Regain individual medical and personal decisions • Demand independent review of the vaccine approval and research data • End federal cannabis prohibition
1. Remain vocal and resist increases in overall federal taxation and budgeting. Demand all federal agencies audit and prepare to reduce costs immediately.
2. Introduce legislation calling for reductions to regulatory roadblocks and taxes for all levels of business growth here on U.S. soil. This will encourage competition and increase U.S. manufacturing and production to grow our economy, reducing our need and dependence on foreign products. Without sacrificing our environment, we can increase our internal wealth, see better product quality, and increase the overall dollar value.
3. I will work directly with national financial organizations to immediately and independently assess all government programs and agencies. An independent detailed review of financial data would help identify potential waste and help reduce the scope of government spending in the agencies evaluated. This includes reductions in personnel, property, physical assets, and facilities across all federal departments and agencies.
