First, I want to say happy thanksgiving!

On tuesday, Trump pardoned a Turkey. As someone who is critical of the criminal justice system, I have to ask a few important questions.

What was the turkey charged with? Was he ever convicted by a jury of his peers? Did Trump see that the law which led to his incarceration was unjust? Was he pardoned purely because he was a turkey? Or did he have connections to trump and the Russians?

Yes, these questions are a joke, but ironically so many parallels can be drawn between this holiday tradition and our tragically flawed criminal justice system.

Pardoning turkeys might be great, but how about pardoning some of the people who are incarcerated for non-violent, victimless crimes? This has been our campaign promise for a while, but this wasn't enough. We are now pushing the idea that non-violent offenders of victimless crimes should not only be pardoned, they should be completely exhonorated and their criminal records should be expunged.

We can't change the past, but we can remove the stigma that a victim of the government's unchecked aggression against peaceful Americans must deal with every day. Some have been labeled as felons, which preclude them from job opportunities, forcing them to live as second class citizens. Then that same justice system that created these circumstances further mock and degrade them.

It's time to put an end to this travesty and start restoring faith in the American people, and undoing the damage that tyrants have caused.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. No Libertarian will ever become president until the hearts and minds of the people align with the idea that the government should not use force and violence to abridge the rights of the minority. This campaign is fighting to break through the political noise with this common sense message. We are fighting for hearts and minds.
