Probably the Drug War.

Well, the polls that included me show my votes are fairly equally spread between a) those who would otherwise vote R, b) those who would otherwise vote D, and c) those who would stay home b/c the D & R choices are so bad. So you don't need to be too concerned about "helping" your least favorite by voting for me. The chances your vote proves the difference b/t your least favorite and your next least favorite are very low, whereas every vote for me will be a wake-up call that government needs to focus on FREEDOM, the rule of law, and protection of our rights. The whole point of elections is we have to punish bad government. When both major parties are serving the interests of monied backers, we have to vote against them. If we don't have the will to do so, we deserve the continued depradations.

Well, it's only been two years since my first run. The only issue that comes to mind is the value of the GOP here in Virginia. I ran for State Senate in 2011 as a Republican, but I'm now a Libertarian, and the reason is that for people who believe in freedom, the Va GOP (in its current form, at least) isn't worth a warm bucket of spit.

That's certainly preferable to the current Drug War. I think legalizing marijuana is the right thing to do and within reach in Virginia.

I would like to see illegal immigrants who came here to earn an honest living be brought within the law, be given equal protection of the law, be given a status that enables them to remain here, and be given the opportunity to contribute to the culture and economy of Virginia. I would also like to see legal immigration greatly expanded, so that more people are able to come to the US and Virginia, and fewer people have to resort to entering illegally. And I would welcome both high-skilled and low-skilled immigrants.
