Bruce Bennington completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Bennington's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- If we want lasting prosperity, we will need sound money. No country that has had fiat (unbacked) currency, (as we do) has avoided financial collapse. Sound money is in precious metals, or metal-backed currency. Georgia can substantially protect itself from the corrupt Federal Reserve system.
- I want to restore state sovereignty by eliminating federal programs which end up taxing and regulating us. The states are not obligated to comply with so called federal directives. States sell their sovereignty for federal money, then the federal government moves in with its programs which tax and regulate you.
- I will advocate for freedom by reducing the size of government to include eliminating entire unconstitutional departments of government.
I want to expose that some people in public office are not only lying to us, but using their positions of public trust to scare us into compliance with their agenda of world government. This anti-freedom movement is being done globally by numerous sources, but also at the local level through UN programs like ICLEI. The UN was founded by a communist and a socialist. Their agenda is government control.
The biggest single thing that made this country once great was the ability of the people to keep the fruits of their labor. Not the Department of Labor. We need to get the government out of the way so the people can thrive.
People need to be free from bureaucratic shackles.
I want to restore freedom, which is more than being out of jail. If we think we are so free, try doing something and note how regulated every aspect of it is. You can't even go fishing without government permission. You may not even be able to chose what you grow on your own land. Control is a test of ownership. Government ownership of everything is Socialism. If they control our land, we are subject to them.
