Penny Pincher,
My strong 2A position is really part of an overall package. I'm the only candidate for Auditor whose top priority is government transparency and accountability to the people. Other candidates use the word "transparency", but no one else has defined transparency or put forth any specific proposals for transparency. I'm sick and tired of the word "transparency" being used and abused.
While it is possible to focus on several areas as high priorities, one can only have a single true "top priority" (else, by definition it is not the top priority). My primary opponent says transparency is important, but her top priority is bringing better auditing standards and practices to the Auditor's office. My top priority is educating, enlightening and empowering the citizenry to make possible tens of thousands of citizen-auditors. While the two of us might agree on some things as general priorities, our TOP priorities are worth the distinction.
So what do you want: More experts focusing on best practices and relying on peer review...or do you want to take our government back from the experts and subject it to citizen review?
When it comes to government auditing, I will gladly pit my army of citizen-auditors up against any group of professional auditors any day.
We've suffered for far too many years of government experts telling the people not to worry their pretty little heads about what government does. Too many years of being told that government is too complicated for ordinary people to understand how it works.
That, my friends, is the essence of what is wrong with our political system in Massachusetts and across the nation. We've removed the citizen participation and oversight.
My sole focus is to give the people unfettered access to all the details they need to assess their own government.
My pro Second Amendment view goes hand-in-hand with my focus on empowering the citizenry. The two points of view show you how I define a proper relationship between the people and their government.
Thanks for asking. Keep those questions and comments coming -- but please consider the overall package you're getting in every candidate you're considering supporting.
