Dear reader, I wish to share with you that great animating spirit of liberty that is emerging now from within. I am, here today, announcing my participation in the "arena" as I put forward my candidacy for Libertarian Member of Parliament for the Kootenay-Columbia riding of British Columbia. With your leave, It is my intention to champion the cause of liberty, of freedom, and real civility (by adherence to the Non Aggression Principle) in our great nation. This adventure is embarked upon with great anticipation and curiosity about what might be discovered of our potential as a people that value strength and freedom as we transition away from the ever pervasive threat of violence initiated against us by our government and each other. For the record, I wish to state, and make public, a few of my personal values, that you might better know me... I do not, in anyway, shape or form, support the initiation of the use of force against you... By anyone, or any institution, including and perhaps especially, government. I hold that where there is adherence to "right action", that is to say, virtue, then there will be victory. Also, people, are more important than "things". It is with these principles as my centre, that I wish to engage with you in a discussion about the prospects of liberty and freedom. By reason and evidence, it is my hope to convince you of the merits of liberty, of the benefit that freedom, and the Non Aggression Principle may impart to you, your children, and future generations. This spirit of liberty is arising in individuals across the globe. We are in one of the most exciting, and perilous times humanity has ever faced, and I would not want to be anywhere else. This is the Renaissance 2.0, and we have the greatest capability that our species has ever known to engage with each other peaceably for the exchange of ideas, and to chart a course to a future where a new and ever expanding frontier of our potential may be explored. Let us push back against weight of our horrific history and push the boundaries of what is possible in the expression of morality, and the experience of dignity for all individuals, everywhere.
Your friend in liberty,
- Leighton Wilson
