List of Liberty-minded Candidates for US Congress

Shouldn't Robert Broadus be added to the list? He's a candidate for a Senate Seat in Maryland.
http://www.justiceandliberty.us/

He supports voluntary healthcare
Wants to end the IRS, Department of Energy, Department of Education, Homeland Security, FEMA, Department of Health and Human Services
Wants to audit the Fed
Says only the Congress has the Constitutional authority to declare War
 
Dan Eichenbaum dropped out of the NC-11 race. Ron Paul-ers have yet to unilaterally back a single candidate, however, I, and many others are backing Mark Meadows.

What Party is he running in?

How does he compare to Bongino, who is already on the list for that Senate seat? It looks like Bongino has been endorsed by Mike Lee.
 
In another thread, Josh Mandel was dropped from the list as he is pretty much a standard neo-conservative. We have him rated low, but I would propose just dropping him off the list. No need to list and rate every candidate.

I took him out at one time and then put him back in, but I can take him out again. I figured since he was a Senate candidate I would just leave him rated as low so people would know. But I can take him out again. I'll update the thread later today.

Looks like Dan Halloran is running in New York. What does everyone think of him?

Sorry, my vote is "no" on Halloran. He wants to escalate against Iran. He may be the lesser of evils in that District, but I don't believe he fits in with Ron Paul's platform or the RPF general consensus. Everyone is free to give input though.

"I am running for Congress because the president and the Democrats' policies have failed, and New Yorkers need a new voice," Halloran said. "Democrats in Washington, led by President Obama, have spent us into financial ruin. They have failed to grow our economy and have led us deep into a harrowing recession. And they have thumbed their nose at Israel, calling for a return to its 1967 borders and showing an unwillingness to stand up to our mutual enemy, Iran, who wishes to destroy us."

The Patriot Act is absurd. It is both unnecessary for government to a good job in counter-terrorism and it is a violation of the 4th amendment. If anything, it makes it harder for counter-terrorism to work. The hardest part about intelligence work is filtering out the noise. You have to be able to tell the irrelevant from the relevant. What does the Patriot Act do? It adds lots of noise. Between 2006 and 2009, of the approx. 1700 warrants issued under the Patriot Act, only 15 were related to terrorism. This is a policy that is used to expand the police state and makes non-violent people become criminals. It is a knee jerk policy that fails to understand both why we were attacked and why we failed to prevent it, and as a US congressman, I would fight tooth and nail to end it and similar acts.

The only time the US should go to war is if we are attacked or there is an impending attack. Preemptive war creates war, it does not stop it. You stop war through proper diplomacy. Especially when these preemptive wars are not fought against people that can actually attack us, but against poor nations that don't have enough resources to make gasoline and feed their people.

Hope I answered your question and I'd be get glad to answer more.

My turn....sorry ;)

Would you consider yourself a proponent of Austrian Economics?
Would you rally for an audit of the Fed or a complete abolition?
What are your views on immigration and the free market principle of open borders?
Would no government be preferable to the size of government we have today?
Who is, in your opinion, the greatest president?
Who is your favourite economist?
What is your favourite colour?
 
Upon further investigation, it looks like Jamie Radke should probably be removed from our list...confirmed Teo-con, and apparently not too popular any more.
 
Last time around we also did star ratings for electability (weighing both the candidates charisma as well as the dynamics of the race). I wish we had that again as well, as there are some races where we stand little to no chance and some where we stand a major chance.
 
Updated list with Primary Dates added, candidates that did not win are lined-out, green purity for candidates endorsed by Ron Paul.
