According to recent polls, most Americans want a deadline for Iraq.
Not Shays/Farrell.
Most American troops in Iraq want us to withdraw within a year. Not
Shays/Farrell.
I’m Libertarian Phil Maymin and I’d set a deadline of Independence
Day, 2007 so our troops come home on our terms. Shays/Farrell want someone
else to tell us what to do.
Most Americans think government is too big. Not Shays/Farrell.
Most Americans want to replace all federal income taxes,
inheritance taxes, gas taxes, and all others, with a retail sales tax. Not
Shays/Farrell.
I’m Libertarian Phil Maymin and I’d make April 15th just another
day. Not Shays/Farrell.
Shays/Farrell would regulate your wallet, your email, your phone,
even your toilet. But there is one place they can never go, one place you
can be perfectly free, and that is in the voting booth tomorrow. Your
freedom terrifies Shays/Farrell. It’s why they spend millions making you
think the other one is even worse. But we aren’t fooled. We know they’re the
same.
Let’s vote for real change this time.
I’m Libertarian Phil Maymin. I approve this message and that
message and actually everything I say.

candidate, Diane Farrell, 51, and the Republican Party candidate, incumbent

race for their failure to provide any Constitutional authorization for their
scheme to infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

Is Shays Leading?
Local Newspaper Releases Misleading Poll Results. October 2, 2006.

Excerpt: "Individuals can run any polls they like, but if they publish them
as news, they should be held to a standard of news, not free advertising for
the two reigning parties," said Maymin. "It is possible that Shays would
still have a lead on Farrell if the poll were done correctly, but it is also
possible that Shays would be in second place. Without running a proper poll,
there is no way to tell. It is unfortunate that this, the first poll
released for the race, was done in such a shoddy manner."

Hides Options From Seniors. August 24, 2006.
(Cached copy.)
Excerpt: “I am the only candidate who is completely against estate taxes so
that retired people could leave more of what they own to who they want, not
who the government wants,” said Maymin. “I am also the only candidate who
would move to abolish the FDA’s restrictions on what drugs and medical
treatment people can receive. It should be up to the individual in
consultation with his physicians to decide the best course of treatment for
his disease, not the government. Sick people may not have enough time to
wait until the government approves the treatment that they need. There is no
reason why Americans should have to fly to foreign countries to have
procedures or treatment that Washington bureaucrats haven’t gotten around to
approving yet.”
Excerpt: “If a non-partisan organization wishes to organize a debate, it
should abide by the laws of the State that were passed to determine the
eligibility of candidates,” said Maymin. “If they create additional
obstacles to those approved by the people and the legislature, they are
effectively inviting people at their whim, bending to the pressure from the
status quo establishment, and are no longer truly non-partisan.”
Excerpt: One example, said Maymin, in addition to the repeal of all estate
taxes and the abolition of the FDA’s ability to ban medical treatments,
might be to offer complete tax exemption for life to those seniors who
permanently opt out of all federal support from the government, including
Social Security and Medicare. “Whoever chooses to remain with the current
system is able to do so,” said Maymin. “But whoever wishes to run his own
life will be able to do so too.” Under that proposal, seniors would be able
to work without paying federal payroll or income tax. They would also be
exempt from the gas tax, dividend tax, and every other federal tax. “Seniors
would be able to work and receive every penny they earn,” said Maymin.

what medical treatment we can pursue? To what kinds of toilets and showers
we can use in our own homes?
