There are 3 days and 19 minutes until the polls close in NY State on Election Day. I’m glad it will come to an conclusion but I do think there should be a more honest discussion of the size and role of the government in our lives. 

One thing you never hear from the presidential candidates, is how they plan to shrink government. We have too many laws and a government that is too complex for anyone’s good. We need a government that does a few things well and a lot less things. Our next president should make repealing, not creating laws his top priority. While Jill Stein hasn’t made repealing laws a top priority, I think she will bring Americans together and listen to all our concerns.
