Why vote BTP?

The Boston Tea Party’s nominee for U.S. Vice President Tom Knapp writes in his blog why he is running and why you should vote for him.

My purpose as a vice-presidential candidate is to help find more shoulders for the next ticket to ride on. It’s to help define the battle lines, to persuade as many of you as possible to the right side of those lines, and to arm you with a weapon: Your vote — your check mark next to the names of candidates who stand for freedom, who stand with the productive class versus the political class, who are on your side, not just on a checklist of policy issues (although that’s important, too) but on the fundamental question of who is entitled to run your life.

Voting for the Boston Tea Party’s ticket this November constitutes a powerful moral statement that only you can make, and only for yourself. It is an announcement that you — not the state, not the state’s agents, not the state’s cronies, not the parasitic “power elites,” but you alone — own your mind, your body and the product of your labor, and that you intend to exercise and defend that ownership.

Knapp is running alongside presidential nominee Charles Jay. They will be on the ballot in a handful of states, but they are a write-in option in Indiana. They provide a true libertarian option that you will find in no other campaign this November.
