Asked how he can appeal to libertarian voters in Virginia, Hill said that “the biggest thing I would do is start restricting the government's intrusion not only into our individual lives but into our bedrooms and our personal lives. I truly do not believe that the federal government has the right to be where it is.”
There are just three things that the federal government does well, he said.
“It provides for the common defense. It settles disputes between the states, and it enters into foreign treaties and such.”
Libertarians, Republicans, conservatives, and “like-minded” Democrats will support his campaign, Hill asserted, because “my job is to roll that authority back.”
“My job,” he explained, “is to say, look, you're not allowed here. The Constitution doesn't even give you that opportunity to come here. When we start limiting the power and the strength of the federal government, the individual's liberty comes back.”
To demonstrate his commitment to winning the nomination – which, unless the Republican Party of Virginia changes its mind, will be decided in a convention in May 2014 – Hill said he and his wife have already “written a hundred thousand dollar check to the campaign” and urged other supporters to donate “one tenth” or “one percent” of that amount by visiting his web site.
