I testified at the Colorado Senate Finance Committee on a package of new tax bills known as the “Dirty Dozen.” Here is an audio of that testimony:

I recently joined the Colorado Union of Taxpayers and signed their pledge. This pledge affirms my commitment to the principles of the Colorado Union of Taxpayers, and reads as follows:
I Rob McNealy, candidate U.S. House of Representatives – CD6 hereby pledge to the Citizens of Colorado:
Signed: Rob McNealy, December 13th 2009
Don’t you wish your state had such a great organization?
I have been asked recently why I am running for Colorado’s 6th Congressional District as a Libertarian, instead of as a Republican. Many have said that I would make a great GOP contender in a primary against the incumbent-that I am a great alternative to the typical big government career politician in office now. With the latter points, I do agree.
We hear every time the Republicans or Democrats lose the White House, that they need to “rebuild” the party, or that they “need to take the party back.” If the parties were doing the right thing to begin with, there would be no need to rebuild them. Over the last 100 plus years, regardless of the rhetoric, the parties have never been rebuilt into something that resembles a government that the Founding Fathers would feel comfortable with. Each election cycle, regardless of which party is in the White House, brings our Republic further and further away from the Constitution, and closer to some sort of statist or fascist government.
I am running for Congress as Libertarian because liberty and freedom are precious commodities, and we are losing them very quickly.
I am running for Congress as Libertarian because I feel that it’s the political party that best represents and will further the cause of liberty and freedom, and is most closely aligned with my personal political beliefs.
I am running for Congress as a Libertarian because I no longer believe the solutions to saving our country lie anywhere within the two party system.
I understand the challenges I face running as a third party. There are false stereotypes, the myth of the “wasted vote” and simply having to break old habits of pulling the lever (or pushing the button) for anyone with an R or D after their name, regardless of their ethics or principles. I understand the challenges, and I will meet them head on. I have to. Our families, children and country deserve people to step up. The future depends on it.
I am running for Congress as a Libertarian.
I had an early morning interview with CBS 4 News the other day. We talked over Skype about my campaign for CD6 and how social media is changing politics.
Our historic campaign launch event was last night, and a great time was had by all. We had over 50 people attend, which is unprecedented for a third party launch event. We were also the first campaign launch to be done via Twitter. These are only a few of the many firsts that will be coming from the Vote McNealy campaign. The Peoples Press Collective summed it up well.
