(The Libertarian Institue) Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) is one of the good guys. In fact, he's one of the very few members of Congress who believes what he says about limited government, individual freedom, and the U.S. Constitution. If you support these things, you'll support Thomas Massie, and if you oppose him, it's because you oppose these things.

We've just seen the DC Republican establishment come out in an unprecedented campaign against an incumbent member of their own party because Donald Trump told them to. This action is profoundly meaningful and instructive about the system of governance we have in this country. First, it shows how deeply corrupted the political system is, not only by money, but even more fundamentally by morally compromised leaders. Second, it shows that we are not going to vote ourselves into a system of limited government and constitutional liberty. The statist juggernaut unleashed against Massie runs the very system that preserves itself in power. Finally, it illustrates how mass "democracy" is a system of elite rule, and that populism in mass politics is itself is a mask elites wear to perpetuate their control over the state system and the people it rules.

Massie is an MIT-educated engineer and successful businessman who has served the 4th congressional district of Kentucky as an articulate and courageous advocate. He earned the monicker "Mr. No" for his consistent opposition to big spending bills and legislation that authorized bloated and intrusive government. If that reminds you of Dr. Ron Paul's nickname "Dr. No," you're right on. Massie and Paul are cut from the same cloth and both have served as indefatigable fighters for freedom in the United States Congress, even when the cool kids of big government attacked and ridiculed them.
