Hold a predominantly libertarian view of individual rights and support the entire Bill
of Rights.
A responsible and peaceful transition toward liberty: cut welfare starting with cutting corporate
welfare rather than first cutting the social safety net.
Finding a means of preventing over-concentrated control of resources, while protecting a
person's right to own the products of his or her own efforts, and the right of voluntary
association and voluntary trade.
Believe that individual actions can have broader consequences that are too damaging to
deal with only after the fact. (e.g. pollution)
