Rebecca Paddock is the Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate
representing the whole of Texas. Even before realizing she was a Libertarian,
she lived her life by libertarian
principles personally and in the workforce. After being disenchanted with the
“control-centric” policies put forth by both Democrats and Republicans, she
found herself politically homeless until a friend uttered two words that would
change her political trajectory. “You’re Libertarian.” She did her research,
and came to find she liked that the Libertarian platform is counter to what the
two big parties espouse, that it centers on the same ideas as the Constitution.
She was inspired to run for the Senate by John Cornyn’s
cloture vote for Obamacare. She decided it was time to put her money where he
mouth is and try to do something to right the infringements on liberty imposed
by Obamacare. Should she win, Rebecca intends to focus on “putting government
back in the box defined for it by the Constitution,” including remedying the
egregious attacks on both the second and fourth amendments. Additionally, she
pledges that every bill put before her will be measured against the
Constitution and turned down if it doesn’t make the grade, and every bill she
authors will reference how that bill falls under the purview of government as
set forth in the Constitution.
She notes that empowerment for everyone comes from the
original design of our government in that its power is in the hands of the
people and encourages everyone to become involved and informed in order to
upright our country and to remember that living by the Libertarian principle of
non-aggression is as simple as “don’t start fights; and don’t back down when a
bully starts one.” If we live by this, then we can see liberty grow for our
children and grandchildren.
