Hi -- My name is Andrew McCullough, and I am the new State Chair of the Libertarian Party of Utah. I am also running for Utah Attorney General. Click the link on this page for candidates, and see my website and blog.

I am an attorney specializing in First Amendment (free speech) and Fourth Amendment (searches and seizures) matters. I bring a slightly different outlook to Libertarianism than some. I believe it is more important to fight what the government does TO us (intefering with our personal freedoms),than what it tries to do FOR us (public transportation, schools, etc). No, I don't like taxes, and I see much that the government does that is wasteful, counterproductive, and just dumb. But what really scares me is that the government appears to by systematically eroding the consitutional rights that we have fought for since 1776, in the name of public safety. As Ben Franklin said: "Those who would give up essential liberty in order to gain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety". That is my philosophy of libertarianism in a nutshell.

But let me assure all or you that the great thing about our party is that it tolerates wide differnces of viewpoint. If your own vision of liberty is different than mine, bring your viewpoint with you, and let us join together to fight those who would increase state power at the price of individual liberty. It is an exciting time and a great opportunity. Get involved today! Join the party, volunteer for a candidate, make a donation, and pitch in to protect our future!
