Hi All,
Lloyd is a great communicator, and certainly could be a great candidate.
However, his site currently has direct violations of the LP position, and
the divergence is not yet clarified. I imagine that a discussion with his
campaign could probably clear that up. Here's one that I consider
problematic:
" The federal government should allow each state to allocate all of the
money that will be spent on education, enabling the states to identify and
grow the most effective educational institutions, whatever they may be."
This certainly isn't the LP view.

Craig Bowden's is commendable for identifying the candidate
upfront as a Libertarian (although I could find no links to the
state or national LP) and setting forth strongly libertarian
positions on a number of issues. Some of the issue statements could
be improved with additional detail (e.g. the "Privacy and Security"
topic focuses mostly on the "USA Patriot Act" and doesn't mention
NSA surveillance or the 4th Amendment) and editing, but I didn't
notice anything of concern from a libertarian standpoint.
Lloyd Princeton's site addresses only three areas of public
policy – crime, education, and employment, and the wording is not as
unambiguously libertarian. Most of the content on these topics looks
good from a libertarian standpoint, but a few points of concern:
• The site lists as his "1st Principle" that, "When people need
support, government should provide assistance, not dependency"
• On employment: "Provide one-time grants to launch apprenticeship
programs at public institutions for training and employment."
• On crime: "Data systems that allow law enforcement agencies to
communicate more effectively with district attorneys must be
improved..."
• While advocating for less prosecution of victimless crimes, he
states that "...mandatory sentences for violent crimes may need to
be increased."
Also, other than at the end of a blog post not readily
visible on the site in which he announces his candidacy, I could
find no mention of his being a Libertarian or links to LP or other
libertarian websites.
Love & Liberty,
