An Open Letter To Presidential Candiates

Dear Presidential Candidate:

  My name is Howard Galt and I am the editor of a blog titled "A Conscious Conservative" (www.conservativeconscious.blogspot.com).  We have been in existence since 2010 and have thousands of readers.  My readers and I would like to cut through all of the noise of a typical election year and get your view on the most significant issues of this or any election.  I plan to post your response in its entirety in an unedited format.  Thank you in advance for your response.

Please answer the following questions:

It has been more than ten years since the Kelo v. City of New London decision gave government broad capabilities to take property from its citizens through eminent domain.  What is your plan to assure that private property rights are protected and people can feel secure in the ownership of their homes and businesses?

Since the decade of the 1950s, the Income Tax has become increasingly complex and invasive in the lives of Americans.  What are your plans for the future of the Income Tax?

It has been documented that almost one-half of all Americans do not vote.  One reason for this is a belief that their vote doesn't count.  What are your plans to increase choice for voters and limit election fraud and corruption?

The dollar has been the world's reserve currency for almost three quarters of a century.  The people of the United States get tremendous economic benefit from the dollar being a trusted mode of exchange.  How do you plan to make sure that the dollar remains a solid currency?

Thank you,

Howard Galt
Editor
A Conscious Conservative

I plan to send this letter to each presidential campaign and will post the response in its entirety.

Don't Throw Your Vote Away on Trump or Clinton

     As in the last two presidential elections, election 2016 does not offer a Conscious Conservative alternative.  Both Trump and Clinton are big government devotees who show little evidence respecting civil or property rights.  Unlike 2008 or 2012, there will be many other choices in much of the United States.  According to the latest report from the Coalition for Free and Open Elections (COFOE), there are at least three candidates who will be on enough ballots to win the election.

GARY JOHNSON

Gary Johnson is the candidate for the Libertarian Party.  He is expected to be on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.  Johnson is probably the most Conscious Conservative candidate of the bunch.



JILL STEIN

Jill Stein is the Green Party candidate.  She is expected to be on the ballot in 43 to 45 states and the District of Columbia. Stein is not a Conscious Conservative choice, but others may find her a good alternative to Trump or Clinton.






DARRELL CASTLE

Darrell Castle is the Constitution Party candidate.  He is expected to be on the ballot in 23-25 states.  That makes Castle a long shot.  He could win, but would have to win in every state in which he is on the ballot.  Castle may also be a choice for some Conscious Conservatives.


We need to show the Republicans and Democrats that the choices they are giving American voters are unacceptable.  Research these three alternatives and vote for whichever one best suits your conscience.
