What is a Libertarian? Someone who believes you are in control of your life, and wants you to live free from government coercion. We believe you are sovereign over yourself, and want to help you keep it that way.

Tonight, President Trump has demonstrated why unchecked executive power is the deadliest weapon in Washington. Earlier this evening he ordered B-2 bombers to strike Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan nuclear sites. This is an unprovoked and unconstitutional act of war carried out without the declaration that Article I, Section 8 reserves to Congress.

Moments later, Trump jumped on to his Truth Social platform to crow about the “full payload of BOMBS” and then typed, “NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!” The absurdity would be comedic if it weren’t measured in human lives. You don’t smash a shop window and then lecture the owner about civility; you don’t drop 30-thousand-pound bunker-busters on a country and scold them for not immediately singing Kumbaya.

Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky nailed it: “This is not Constitutional.”

Congress, not the Oval Office, decides when America goes to war. We call on every member of Indiana’s delegation, Republican and Democrat alike, to back Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna’s War Powers resolution introduced on June 17th, cut off funding for these unauthorized hostilities, and haul our forces home before this escalates into another generation-long quagmire.

Every bomb dropped tonight and in the coming days, weeks, months, and potentially years makes Hoosier troops, U.S. civilians, and millions of innocents across the Middle East less safe. It inflames sectarian fires, invites retaliation against our embassies, and piles yet more debt onto our children’s shoulders.

The Libertarian Party of Indiana condemns the initiation of force, whether it’s a street-corner mugging or an unconstitutional presidential airstrike. We demand an immediate halt to hostilities, a full congressional debate on a declaration of war, and a foreign policy grounded in peace, honest diplomacy, and free trade. Anything less betrays the very liberty this republic was built to protect.

Well, in case you haven't heard. I went and did a thing. I really wasn't going to run again for a while. I wanted to take a break. My state chair, Evan McMahon, had other plans. I was asked to run one more time. My country and my party needs me. So, once more into the fray my friends!

Working hard to get elected so that I can leave you alone.
