At my nominating convention on June 27, I was able to get 57 signatures,
43 short of what I needed to get on the ballot. With that, my campaign
for the State House comes to an end.

My thanks to those who helped. Don't throw away those signs or buttons,
though; I will be trying again in 2006.

Liberalism
Political and economic doctrine that emphasizes the rights and freedoms of
the individual and the need to limit the powers of government.

Liberalism originated as a defensive reaction to the horrors of the European
wars of religion of the 16th century (see Thirty Years' War). Its basic
ideas were given formal expression in works by Thomas Hobbes and John Locke,
both of whom argued that the power of the sovereign is ultimately justified
by the consent of the governed, given in a hypothetical social contract
rather than by divine right (see divine kingship). In the economic realm,
liberals in the 19th century urged the end of state interference in the
economic life of society. Following Adam Smith, they argued that economic
systems based on free markets are more efficient and generate more
prosperity than those that are partly state-controlled. In response to the
great inequalities of wealth and other social problems created by the
Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America, liberals in the late 19th
and early 20th centuries advocated limited state intervention in the market
and the creation of state-funded social services, such as free public
education and health insurance. In the U.S. the New Deal program undertaken
by Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt typified modern liberalism in its vast
expansion of the scope of governmental activities and its increased
regulation of business. After World War II a further expansion of social
welfare programs occurred in Britain, Scandinavia, and the U.S. Economic
stagnation beginning in the late 1970s led to a revival of classical liberal
positions favouring free markets, especially among political conservatives
in Britain and the U.S. Contemporary liberalism remains committed to social
reform, including reducing inequality and expanding individual rights. See
also conservatism; individualism.

Liberalism

Liberalism may be used to describe one of several ideologies that claims
individual liberty to dissent from orthodox tenets or established
authorities in political or religious matters, in contrast to conservatism
and/or communitarianism.

One usage of the term is for a tradition of thought that tries to
circumscribe the limits of political power, and to define inalienable
individual rights. This is the most common usage outside of the United
States.
See: classical liberalism or libertarianism.
Another, less common usage, is to denote the tradition of various liberal
parties. However, though said liberal parties were originally founded on the
tradition above, they significantly diverged from it since they came to
power in the 19th century, and liberal parties around the world are now
based on a variety of unrelated ideologies, so the ideological content of
the word depends on the geographical context.
See: political liberalism.
Another, common usage, denotes the ideology of social-democracy, as defended
by the Liberal Party in Britain, particularly since Lloyd George's People's
Budget. It is with this background that Keynes, though influenced by
Fabianism, claimed to be liberal in the 1930s. The influence of Keynesianism
on the New Deal has led liberalism to be identified with the welfare state
in the United States.
See: new liberalism.
A limited usage is to denote the tradition shared by authors like John Locke
or John Stuart Mill, up to the mid 19th century.
Some commentators try to distinguish in the "liberal philosophy" (which
meaning between 1, 3, or 4 remaining unspecified) a "political liberalism"
from an "economic liberalism". These dichotomies perhaps reflect more about
the ideology of those who make such a dichotomy, than about the ideology of
anyone else.
In addition to the political usages above, the term "liberal" is also used
in theology to refer to people who hold to views which depart from their
religion's orthodoxy.
See: Religious Right, liberal theology, Modernism in the Roman Catholicism).

Yeah, just look at the breathtaking success of ultraconservative tax policy over
the last few years.
