Freedom Pledge – I freely and voluntarily support the following principles:

Competent adults own themselves. They are entitled to be the sole rulers of their bodies, their property, their money and their time.

Government's proper role is to act as our agent in a non-coercive way to protect our rights to both define and peacefully pursue our happiness.

Competent adults ought to be free to engage in any voluntary and peaceful contracts they see fit with other competent adults. They also have a right not to trade if they so choose.

No adult has a right to live at the expense of another adult without either a contractual or fiduciary obligation.

The free market is the best way to raise standards of living and to create and deliver goods and services to those who want them at the most efficient price. I support free market capitalism.

Competent adults have a right to defend themselves against aggressors. I support the right of competent adults to peacefully own, keep and bear arms.

 I do not support the initiation of force against non-aggressors.

In a free society, competent adults ought to decide for themselves what substances to put into their own bodies. However, no person has a right to endanger another for any reason.

Free people ought to be free to worship in any manner they see fit or not to worship at all. The government should not interfere with religious belief or be involved in any way with religion.

The government should not be involved in sanctioning marriage. Competent adults have a right to marry one another regardless of their sexual orientation, race, or religious beliefs.

All victimless 'crimes' should be abolished. The justice system should deal with people who trespass against others by force or fraud and with people who recklessly subject others to risk of harm.

Free people are allowed to express any opinions they want. I support free speech and the free marketplace of ideas. People are free to accept or reject any ideas they choose. The government should not censor speech.

I am interested in helping advance the cause of freedom.
