The two issues above are the only issues in which Barry, Gary, and Mike disagree. On the other Libertarian platform issues such as re-legalizing drugs, taxes being theft and so on we are all more or less in agreement.
- I won't take the goverment welfare money. Gary Fallon won't take it either. It is stolen tax money and Mike and Gary won't touch it.
But some Libertarians think Barry Hess is the only Libertarian who will take the $1 million government welfare check from the Arizona Clean Elections law.
Barry Hess says he is not taking the stolen money but is qualifing for it to access to all of the forums and the statewide debates.
At this point I have consented ONLY to qualify for the Clean Elections. .... My reasons are essentially two-fold: 1) To bring credibility (in terms of electability) to the Libertarian Party for Political purposes. And 2) Because the Clean Elections Act affects and regulates even those who don't participate in limiting contribution limits and MOST importantly, access to all of the forums and the statewide debates.
- I'm PRO-CHOICE. I think it's the womans right to decide if she wants an abortion. PERIOD!
Both Barry Hess and Gary Fallon are PRO-LIFE.
Here is Gary's position:
"Gary thinks that unborn children are people and that abortion is wrong because it's killing a person. Abortions should be illegal because they violate the non-aggression principle."Here is Barry's position:
I KNOW that government should have no say in abortion, but personally, I remain opposed.
