Expand all | Collapse all

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a Marine Vietnam veteran dedicated to the American ideal of individual liberty.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

We must reign in our banking system and return to stable money based on silver and gold.
We must end all our foreign wars and develop a non-interventionist foreign policy.
We must end Corporate monopoly practices in medical care and drug manufacture, and have a free market for medical care.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Monetary policy, foreign policy, and medical care.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

My Father, William Murphy 1904-1979. Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland in a working class family. He apprenticed as an iron-molder for the Harland and Wolff shipyard. His brothers trained as a pattern-maker, machinist, tool-and-die maker, and engineer. In 1928, he and one brother arrived in Detroit, Michigan. The plan was to bring the whole family there to start a car company. Before that could happen, the Great Depression took place, and there was no money for travel. So there's no Murphy Motor cars.
My Dad was hard-working and plain-spoken, and though he never finished high school he knew a lot about people. He was skeptical of authority and cautious in his business. He carried himself with dignity and always treated others with respect. He is an example of a life well lived.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The film Seven Days in May brilliantly illustrates the dangers of nuclear weapons and a rogue general. Dr. Strangelove follows that theme with black comedy. Full Metal Jacket shows the best rendition of Marine Boot Camp I've seen.

As for essays, I would recommend anything by Murray Rothbard - particularly his Anatomy of the State. Also, essays by Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Mark Twain, and Christopher Hitchens hint at the sources of my iconoclasm.

Books are harder. I've read everything by Mark Twain, Rudyard Kipling, Victor Hugo, Robert Heinlein, Issac Asimov, and Colin Wilson, as well as many others, so it's hard to decide.

For political philosophy I would recommend The Federalist Papers and the Anti-Federalist Papers, and The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution by Bernard Bailyn. For the big picture people should read The Criminal History of Mankind by Colin Wilson, as well as The Twelve Caesars by Suetonius and the histories of Ibn Khaldun.

For contemporary fiction, I have enjoyed the works of Neal Stephenson - particularly his Baroque Trilogy. Neil Gaiman is entertaining. Bernard Cornwell has tales of adventure and courage, and G.M. Fraser's Flashman series is a hoot.

Of course we can't omit the books and essays by George Orwell and Aldous Huxley, required reading in every high school class in the '60s.

I suppose I'm an idealist that thinks it possible to build institutions that will reduce human violence, iniquity, and predatory behavior. I only hope it's true. I fear for my species.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Integrity, honesty, and a commitment to unprejudiced justice. Also, an immunity to bribery.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I'm trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind,obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. I learned these virtues in the Boy Scouts, and I'm sticking with them.

I have enough knowledge of law to have won a decision in Federal Court as a Pro-Se litigant.

I have read extensively about law, politics, war, and the human experience, and the knowledge gained by those readings makes me hope that human freedom is not forever doomed to oppression.

I have experienced real war in Vietnam, and that experience has made me despise those many geopolitical game-players who treat human lives as pawns on a chessboard.

I'm as lazy as anyone, but on the off chance that I should win this election, I would load myself with Adderall and recruit a staff from the Mises Institute, the Cato Institute, and other Libertarians, and devise a plan to dismantle the Corporate State, emasculate the Oligarchs, and build institutions that will reduce the initiation of force in human interaction.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

To restore the American ideal of individual liberty for all; to work to dismantle the legal tools used by the Corporate State to maintain the privileges of the Oligarchs; to end the military and CIA interference with other nations.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I already have a legacy, in the form of a novel and a short story under the pseudonym R.R. McGregor, available on Amazon. I have other stories in progress about Vietnam, my marriages, and my youth in Detroit which I hope to complete if my election to the senate doesn't interfere.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

The assassination of J.F. Kennedy. I was 15.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Paperboy for Detroit News 1960-1964

What is your favorite book? Why?

After completing with Dr. Suess (I enjoyed Horten Hears a Who and Green Eggs and Ham, but refused to read The Cat in the Hat because it seemed too silly), I ventured into books with text without pictures. Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was enjoyable, since I had recently seen the Disney movie with Kirk Douglas.

But my favorite book of all time that I picked next from the shelf of the Noble Elementary School library was Have Space Suit - Will Travel by Robert Heinlein. It is a tale of a young man who wins a space suit in a contest, makes it work, and then is propelled into adventures in interplanetary and even intergalactic space. It is a tale of competence, reason, courage, and sacrifice in the face of space monsters and intergalactic police.

After all this time, it is still my favorite of Heinlein's work.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Donald Trump, as President. He is fictional, isn't he? Please tell me it's so...

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Brad Paisley's Low Life- High Life comes to mind, as well as Junior Brown's rendition of My Wife Thinks You're Dead.

Then there's the Motown sound of My Girl, and Tears of a Clown.

And of course I love Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, an homage to commercial life in a free American city.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

What hasn't been a struggle? Standing guard in 100 degree weather? Stooping into the steaming engine room of an Amtrac to repair a fractured coolant line? Shuffling back along joists hauling 1 1/4 inch 4X8 boards into 2nd floor positions to be nailed in place? Mounting a 16-foot beam 20 feet above a concrete floor? Finding a job? Crying inconsolably broken-hearted at the death of a parent, or the loss of a love?

The biggest struggles, of course, have been those that have plagued humankind from the beginning - laziness and boredom.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Our primary challenge will be to survive as a free nation despite the willingness of too many to welcome the illusory comforts of a totalitarian state.

Too many think of the State as a benevolent institution composed of competent and unprejudiced people acting always in the public interest. James Buchanan won a Nobel prize for showing that the opposite is true. People don't magically shed their prejudices when elected or appointed to positions of authority.

A couple of Princeton professors did a study of 1779 policy issues over about 30 years, all opposed by public opinion. It turns out that 1776 of them were implemented despite public opposition because they were supported by Corporate and bureaucratic elites. The conclusion is that we are living not in a Democracy, but an Oligarchy. Former President Jimmy Carter recently publicly confirmed this.

Totalitarian states grow by inspiring fear in the people. After 9-11, the great fear was of Islamic terrorism. It justified a vast increase in the power of government to spy on the American people, recording every phone call, Facebook post, and website visit. It also led to the slaughter of hundreds of thousands Afghani and Iraqis who apparently had no part in that attack.

Today the great fear is Covid-19, a possibly-manufactured corona virus that is no more dangerous to the young and healthy than the seasonal flu. Yet it has been used to justify an unprecedented global shutdown of economic, educational, social, and religious activity. It's not a coincidence that this has happened just as the frailty of our economic system was being revealed. I cannot help but think that this has been influenced heavily by the Oligarchs to reset the economic system in their favor. The daily news is filled with fear inspiring stories, and cheap and available cures are being suppressed in favor of expensive drugs. the evidence of Oligarch influence is everywhere, and to many people are believing the propaganda.

What qualities does the U.S. Senate possess that makes it unique as an institution?

The advice and consent of the Senate is required to confirm the appointment of Cabinet Officers, Judges, and other executive positions, as well as the ratification of Treaties. It is limited in size, which makes the vote of each more influential than those in the House of Representatives.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for senators to have previous experience in government or politics?

It depends on what the senator learned from that previous experience.

If a senator with a dedication to justice and upholding individual rights learns about the individuals involved in decision-making and the subtleties of parliamentary procedure, then that could be beneficial.

However, if a senator has learned from previous experience how to trade influence for campaign donations, manipulate facts to gain votes, or to lie and cheat to ensure reelection, then that experience would not be beneficial.

My service on the Libertarian National Committee has taught me much about parliamentary procedure, as well as the organization of committees and sub-committees. I have no influence to sell, and I flatter myself to think that I can speak persuasively in debate.

What do you think of the filibuster?

I have mixed feelings about it. I would gladly filibuster against the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), but not the Voting Rights Act. Since it is a rule of the senate that can be changed by the senate, most senators evidently think it has value.

What criteria would you apply when deciding whether to confirm presidential appointees?

A history that illustrates integrity, a dedication to justice without prejudice, and a firm commitment to individual rights. Also, they should have displayed the potential for competence in the job to which they're being appointed.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other senators?

Amiable relationships are always important when seeking to persuade others.

If you are not a current senator, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Yes - the Foreign Affairs Committee and the Justice Committee

If you are not currently a member of your party’s leadership in the U.S. Senate, would you be interested in joining the leadership? If so, in what role?

If elected, I would like to be the Libertarian Whip, ensuring that other Libertarian senators adhered to our party's mission - to reduce, as much as humanly possible, the initiation of force in human relationships.

Is there a particular senator, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

I'm sure there are some who are worthy, but I can't think of one.
