Wendy Long isn't campaigning, I was in syracuse for the state fair, she wasn't. I was at Binghamton for Spiedie Fest, She wasnt. etc.

She lost by the largest margin in NY history in 2012 against Gillibrand and her campaign has raised less money than it did then and has had less support.

While I'm not a cash rich candidate, I have been very efficient with the funds we have received to be traveling the state meeting actual people, having an actual social media strategy, and putting out original policy ideas in line with my values.

Wendy has done none of this, and for those who are #nevertrump Wendy has pretty much just been an echo chamber for Trump resting her hopes on Trump instead of running her own campaign.

Aleppo is a city in Syria about the size of San Diego. Although re: how do you fix the Aleppo situation. There is no easy answers because if you take out Assad it can result in a powerful Isis but if you restore Assads power then people will hate the US for propping dictator. Like most regimes that need to be changed, it needs to done from within without US intervention.

When the US intervenes such as it has in Guatemala, Iran, Iraq, etc. the result it only more instability.

As libertarian I have completely different view on foreign policy and the drug war than the democrats and republicans. FP/DW are the issues in my opinion take the most lives everyday and Libertarians are the biggest party speaking out against regime change and the drug war which Chuck Schumer has supported and funded.

As a elected rep I also want to change what people expect from their elected representatives by using social media to be very accessible to my constituents with weekly livestream about my votes and more.

Chuck Schumer only seems to care about what will keep him in the headlines.

I want people to buy, sell and grow it. I just don't want to legalize it for the purpose to tax and regulate it. I want to legalize because people have a right to buy, sell, and grow what they want.
