BREAKING: Endorsement Alert

A republic, if you can keep it.

In the pursuit of safeguarding the principles upon which our great nation was founded, it is imperative that we, as libertarians, stand united against any threat to the very essence of our republic. As Benjamin Franklin wisely noted, "A republic, if you can keep it." A admonition to the average citizen to constantly fight for our experiment in self-government, to “keep our republic” from authoritarianism and would be tyrants.

In this critical moment, where the foundation of our democratic republic is tested, my endorsement of Nikki Haley for the Iowa Caucus becomes a pivotal choice for those who champion republic. .

Nikki Haley, with a track record that echoes the spirit of limited government and individual liberty, emerges as a compelling candidate for those who hold dear the principles of the Libertarian Party. As a former Libertarian Party of Iowa Chairman, I find solace in Haley's commitment to economic freedom and small “r” republican values. Her alignment with key ideals, such as reducing bureaucratic red tape and advocating for free-market solutions, resonates deeply with the libertarian ethos. While I do have disagreements with her foreign policy, it is imperative as libertarians that we keep the pressure on her to embody our founders’ vision of international trade and respect for our military by demanding military action only through Constitutional means. 

Furthermore, it is noteworthy that Americans for Prosperity, a leading libertarian organization (co-founded by former Libertarian VP nominee David Koch), has thrown its weight behind Nikki Haley. This endorsement underscores her dedication to policies that promote prosperity, individual empowerment, and a government that respects the boundaries set by our Constitution.

In this crucial juncture, it is essential to address the looming threat to our republic – Donald Trump. The events surrounding the January 6th riot and his relentless attempts to undermine the democratic process cannot be ignored. Libertarians, by nature, reject authoritarianism in all its forms. Haley's endorsement represents a pragmatic choice to thwart the potential erosion of our democratic republic.

Donald Trump's anti-democratic endeavors, evidenced by his interference in elections and support for authoritarian measures, stand in stark contrast to the principles that libertarians hold dear. It is our duty to rally behind a candidate who, in the face of such challenges, remains committed to the preservation of a republic built upon the pillars of individual freedom and limited government.

In Nikki Haley, we find a leader who defends the republic that Benjamin Franklin spoke of – a republic we must endeavor to keep. As we navigate the Iowa Caucus, let us unite in support of a candidate who not only champions republican values but also serves as a bulwark against the encroachment of authoritarianism, ensuring the longevity of our cherished republic. I invite all Iowa voters to join me in caucusing for Nikki Haley on January 4th, let us keep our republic.
