Candidate Statement

Sample Voter Ballot

Pamela J. Brown

State Assembly, district #40 Libertarian Party

As your Assembly member, I will work with other fiscal conservatives to cut taxes and improve state services.  I will vote NO on any legislation that increases spending, taxes or borrowing.  Our government takes too much money.  Most state programs exceed what government is intended to do: provide police and fire protection, road services, and courts.  Foreign workers living in California should NOT receive welfare services, free health care or subsidized tuition.  People entering America should be here to work - not receive public assistance.  Welfare services are the responsibility of the national government from which a visiting worker originates - not California taxpayers.  I support strengthened Prop 13 legislation, border protections, immediate deportation of illegal immigrant criminals, 2nd Amendment rights, school choice, and health and energy reforms.  Outsourcing and privatizing public-sector services are critical to an affordable budget.  Public labor unions enjoy protection from competitive pressures and use your taxes to increase their salaries through lobbying.  Such cartels should be challenged and eliminated, so that our college grads may exercise entrepreneurship in the public sector and California citizens enjoy lower tax burdens.  Civil servants work for us, we don’t work for them.   89% of the economy thrives without compulsory unions.  So can our state government.  Citizens receive improved educational and other services through competition - a process that brings out the best in us, as numerous studies show.  If you value individual freedom and limited government, I would appreciate your support. www.CAWantsFreedom.com
