LETTER: A fresh choice over old two-party system

People are clamoring for a choice this election season. The media would have us believe that the highest office in the land may only be held by one of two long-standing political parties — parties that have given us ever-increasing levels of inefficiency, ineptitude, irresponsibility, imperialism and partisan inhospitality.

We have another choice.

Dr. Jo Jorgensen, the presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party, is on all 50 state ballots in 2020. She holds a PhD in industrial psychology from Clemson University and currently holds a position at her alma mater as senior lecturer. Prior to this, she started, grew and sold multiple multi-million-dollar businesses, without sending any of them into bankruptcy.

The old parties continue to grow the size and influence of government, despite their promises to reduce it.

The Libertarian Party consistently espouses and provides plans for a government that will stay within its constitutionally-dictated bounds: just large enough to do the work it should do, and small enough to stay out of our personal, day-to-day lives. Less government will always equal more freedom.

Please do your research on a viable alternative. When you get to the ballot box on Nov. 3, vote Dr. Jo Jorgensen for president.
