FREEDOM! the book / Re: For Further Reading

« on: June 11, 2016, 08:25:40 PM »

Though it would probably be boring to someone who doesn't particularly care for the topic this work discusses, Andrew Mellon's Taxation: The People's Business is a great transitional book. By this I mean if one is currently under the belief that taxes are an absolute necessity, he or she will not likely be easily convinced that taxation is theft. When I first read Mellon's book, I already recognized the evils of taxation, but the principles he discusses helped me bring at least two individuals closer to the "taxation is theft" conclusion. If we could summarize this book, I think it would be an excellent way to help nudge the fiscally conservative (at least) towards our desired conclusion.

Ohio / Re: Ohio State Organization

Hello Adam! My name is Kelly, and I'm not sure if I would qualify for such a position (I'm 16), but if age is not an issue, I would wholeheartedly love to fill the position for Greene County.

I came across an excerpt of FREEDOM! a few months ago while completing a project on the history of taxation. It was a quick and engrossing read, and the positive tone (particularly in the concluding section of chapter nine) inspired me even further to pursue political activism. I was thrilled to see so many volunteer opportunities for your campaign, and, if selected, I will promote the message of freedom with the same vigor I have in all my other pursuits.

Having lived in Greene County my whole (albeit rather short) life, I know of several locations at which the message of liberty can be communicated to large audiences. I admit my only experiences in advocacy are limited to political and social debates as well as my role in student government, but I feel I can effectively spread the word about your campaign, especially to younger voters. Also, I would be willing to help administrate social media accounts promoting your cause specifically in Ohio.

You can contact me via personal message on this site or by email at kellycarter217 (at) yahoo (dot) com. I look forward to the launch of your campaign!
