Reject the patriot act in Wisconsin.

If polls in Wisconsin are even close to being accurate, Sen. Kerry is set to win another overwhelming victory over the rest of the Democratic field, and making it that much more likely that he will represent the Democrats in the fall.

That’s bad news for Democratic voters who opposed the War in Iraq and oppose the USA Patriot Act, since Kerry, like Bush, supported both. So did Kerry’s principle challenger for the nomination, Sen. Edwards.

But those voters shouldn’t stay home in November, because they will have the opportunity to vote for a candidate who opposed the War in Iraq and favors the complete repeal of the USA Patriot Act – Libertarian Gary Nolan.

As President, I would turn the responsibility for governing Iraq over to the Iraqi people as rapidly as possible and bring our troops home. And, I would direct the Justice Department (minus John Ashcroft) to immediately stop exercising the extra-Constitutional powers contained in the USA Patriot Act and ask Congress to repeal it.

In fact, Wisconsin voters who opposed and War in Iraq and oppose the USA Patriot Act have a better way to express their views in today’s primary than by voting for one of the Democrats who won’t be on the ballot in November. They can cast their vote in the Libertarian primary for Gary Nolan – and help ensure that they have a someone to vote for in November who shares their views.

Yeah, we'd all love it, but it just won't happen. It's the corruption of a multiparty system.

James,

I know he will not get elected, but if he gets a good percentage of the vote it will cause real change in the two major parties. They will see Libertarians as a threat and adopt some of our policies. As it is now with Bush or Kerry it will make no difference who wins we will still deal with the same problems.

Maybe, but in the short run I think it takes votes away from Democrats which hurts us.

Democrats talk about supporting the war in Iraq, but that doesn't mean we would have actually gone if a Democrat had been in office. Clinton said he was for it too, but he didn't have a compelling and legal reason to go and didn't fabricate one.

I think this makes all the difference in the world. Overall, Democrats are a tad safer when it comes to human rights domesticaly and abroad.

I tried to take the view that it's the canidate, not the party, that matters. But in the end we end up in worse shape under Republicans :-(
