Answers to League of Women Voters of Denton Candidate Questionnaire Sondra Ferstl, League of Women Voters of Denton: Thank you for your volunteer work in printing the Voters Guide as a public service. The following are my responses to your candidate questionnaire. Name .........: David Wallace Croft Party ........: Libertarian Phone ........: (214) 636-3790 m / (214) 731-9284 h Title ........: Candidate, State Rep. District 65 Address ......: 3119 Mayfair Dr, Carrollton, TX 75007 Email ........: croft@lptx.org 1. Please describe the training and experience that qualify you for this office. (50 words) My training as a student included the principles of capitalism and the philosophy of liberty. My experience as a veteran, a husband, and a father has taught me the importance of our free market economy to the strength of our nation and the civil liberties we enjoy. 2. What plan for public school finance would you support and why? (75 words) I support school choice vouchers for use in free market secular schools. A single working mother does not have the options of escaping a failing school district by sending her child to a private school, of moving to a more expensive neighborhood, or by home schooling. With school choice vouchers, she can exercise her parental right to choose which school meets the unique needs of her child. 3. What other important issues do you hope the Texas Legislature will address? (75 words) When voting for representatives, we should not be forced to choose between either more socialism or more fundamentalism. Both theories of government enslave. The alternative that liberates is individualism. If elected, I will ensure that government protects the rights of the individual against the trespasses of the majority. I will fight socialism by hanging Robin Hood as a thief. I will fight fundamentalism by rescinding the law requiring recitation of the Pledge. -- David Wallace Croft http://www.lptx.org/croft/ (214) 636-3790 m / (214) 731-9284 h
