LIBERTARIAN PARTY CANDIDATE STATEMENTS
| LYNNETTE SHAW | 8A School Street Plaza | (415) 456-4313 |
| Lieutenant Governor | Fairfax, CA 94930 | www.voteshaw.info |
For years, the sick and terminally ill have been arrested, jailed, and imprisoned for taking the medication of their choice. Even doctors, who have written recommendations for alternative medical herbs, have suffered the same fate. As Lieutenant Governor, I will stop this travesty. As a caregiver for over 13 years, I will work to stop this practice to incarcerate the ill and the dying. Medical cannabis was approved by the voters in 1996, and I promise to stop the federal government from overstepping their powers to interfere in medical choice. I will work to stop the waste of millions of taxpayers’ dollars on programs that only help politicians gain more control over our lives. I will seek complete access to medicinal herbs which has relieved the suffering of thousands. Further, if elected I will promote the use of industrial hemp to help farmers and communities survive in tough economic times. I will seek environmental reforms to authorize new energy sources, especially those derived from the oil of hemp seeds. But most of all, I want to ensure that citizens and their rights are not abused by heartless bureaucrats, unjust laws, and heavy-handed state legislators. It has always been my opinion that government should be a referee and not a player in society. We need leadership that will foster the right of citizens and their freedom to be left alone. But I cannot do this alone. I will need your vote if you want me to make sweeping changes in Sacramento. |
