Issues & Political Concerns Liberty and Justice for Common Prosperity Health Care Access to health care is maximized by allowing providers to multiply choices to the patients and removing as many middlemen and bureaucrats between patient and provider as possible. Howard believes that every person is responsible to prevent illness and make choices about what medical treatments and immunizations best balance their health and lifestyle. Howard will fight against medical and pharmaceutical lobbies which act to restrict the choices available to people and will also seek ways to end favoritism and subsidies to insurance companies which add costly administration unnecessary in the personal doctor-patient relationship. Decriminalize Drug Use Drugs are very dangerous and cause way too many addictions that ruin countless lives. Caring individuals work hard to educate youth and intervene on behalf of drug addicts. Criminal penalties against the use and possession of drugs make the problem worse and should be abandoned. These penalties discourage individuals from seeking help and also create extremely high prices that provide a lucrative revenue source for criminal gangs and cartels. Police and courts have too much on their plate as it is. Howard's goal of drug decriminalization will allow the justice system to focus on violence and keep more people out of the criminal system. 2nd Amendment It's imperative that all people have equal rights to firearms. No infringement on that right can be tolerated in a free society without a conviction under due process of law.

As an unjust court opinion, it should be ignored and not raised to the status of law, as if our constitution allowed the courts to make law.

Education Education should be freed from political control to the maximum extent achievable so that everyone with the will to learn has access to the best education available.
