as a note about running for the U.S. House in 2012
I
was born on February 24th, 1987. This makes me a Pisces, only several
days away from the Pisces - Aquarius cusp. The year I will be running
for Congress (2012) is recognized by many as the year of transition from the
current Age of Pisces to the coming Age of Aquarius. I feel that my
run would be symbolic of this transition. Due to the procession of
the equinoxes, the 2,153-year era associated with Pisces precedes the
one that is associated with Aquarius, so now seems like my time to
shine
(http://aquarianagrarian.blogspot.com/2011/02/terence-mckenna-and-novelty-calendar.html).
I
plan to embody what I term the "Piscean ethic" in my
politics. That is, my ideas will go many directions at once, as do
the two fishes. I am as tolerant of extremely libertarian views as I
am of extremely progressivistic views (remember that Adam Smith,
often revered as the founder of capitalism, favored what could be
interpreted as progressive taxation). Both the libertarian and
progressive movements are essentially populistic in nature. I
recognize the truth latent in the opinion of every person because I
recognize that everyone is correct for their own purposes.
Just
as I believe in Ron Paul's call to obey the Constitution, so too do I
lend equal credit to 18th-century anarchist Lysander Spooner's claim
that the Constitution should to an extent be disregarded because it
only applied to willing civic participants in the Revolutionary
government during the generation in which it was drafted
(http://aquarianagrarian.blogspot.com/2011/09/spooner-amendment.html).
And just as I believe that the administrative districts in this country should be redrawn to consider watersheds and natural physical boundaries, so too do I also support re-envisioning the way we see government as transcending geographical boundaries, in the tradition of Frederic Bastiat's Panarchism as well as in Otto Bauer's National Personal Autonomistic Socialism (http://aquarianagrarian.blogspot.com/2010/11/jurisdictional-aterritorialism-bastiat.html).

I
believe that building a coalition of the best minds among the
congressional independents, Tea Partiers, the two libertarian
committees, Main Street Republicans, Blue Dog Democrats, Progressive
Democrats, and Populist Democrats in the House of Representatives is
essential to opposing the oligarchy- and bureaucracy-mired policies
resulting from the collusion of the Clinton-Obama New Democrats with
the majority of the Republican Study Committee associated with Bush
and McCain.(http://aquarianagrarian.blogspot.com/2010/10/ideological-caucus-membership-in-us.html).
As
the beginning of the Age of Pisces brought the Judean rebellion
against Rome and its conquest of the Mediterranean Sea, the end of
the Age of Pisces also represents the end of dominion by the Roman
Empire over the seas; that is, the end of imperialism as we know it.
The United States' imperialistic tendencies are a legacy of Ancient
Rome and its proxy, the British Empire. The U.S. is stretching its
military, its sphere of influence, and its scope too far and too
thin. We cannot survive with a robust economy when we have 700
overseas military bases and at least one soldier in four out of every
five countries. Fortunately for us, the Age of Aquarius is also
recognized as a harbinger of environmental sustainability and
consciousness expansion as well as innovation. We must move forward
with technological innovation that is environmentally sustainable.
As
your congressman, I promise to do everything I can to help the United
States succeed in pursuing reforms in agribusiness and science
education, among other things, that promote a wave of innovation that
allows our country to become self-sufficient, stay the premier
national purveyor of freedom of enterprise in the world, foment a new
era of personal responsibility, and allow the market to create
environmentally sustainable industry and jobs, both now and for
generations to come.
