| Collapse all
- Democrats and Republicans have show time and time again that they can't be trusted to run our country or even our state. It's time for another option to step in and return us to limited, ethical governance.
- 2020 brings with it a census, which means new congressional districts. Who do you want drawing those districts lines? Republicans have been found guilty of gerrymandering -or rigging the system- for their own political benefit. In order to secure fair districts and true representation, we need a 3rd party involved in the process. Zach Berly, a Libertarian, can assure that the people's voice, not special interest's or political motivations, is heard
- Every election season means worrying about who will win and what those people will do that will effect you when they get into office. Zach Berly wants to see politics change so that it doesn't matter who wins, that no one, regardless of party, would have enough power to harm individuals. It's Americans that make America the land of the free, not an overreaching government.
Ensuring fair redistricting.
Reforming and reducing occupational licenses.
Protecting the environment.
Ending endless wars by passing a 'Defend the Guard Act' that would prevent the use of North Carolina's National Guard without a congressional declaration of war.
Securing justice reform.
