Steve’s answer to government monopoly is the free market, and while this comes with the understanding that we need to have working solutions firmly in place before removing their corresponding government counterparts, there is no doubt that We The People can formulate better solutions when we work together than the government has provided. Being a strong supporter of transparency regarding to health care procedures, it is clear that some segments of government (such as the Federal Trade Commission) have no interest in allowing health care customers to find the best treatment for the lowest cost when spending the money they have earned.
In addition to serving in party leadership on the state level, he served on the LNC, as well as with many others on the Libertarian Party Platform Committee. Improving the language of our Platform, offering clarity, and offering new ways to promote Libertarianism remains his primary mission.

After voting for George McGovern in his first Presidential election, Phill worked within the Democratic Party until the early nineties. By then he could see that they were just one branch of the over-all corporate party that actually runs Washington through their hired hands in both major parties. In 1991 he joined the Greens which resulted in two congressional campaigns in 1998 and 2002. However, he never saw getting people to join the Green Party as “the solution” to our political problems since the perverse power of our two-party, winner-take-all system is amazingly effective at neutralizing dissent. He saw it make even friends who were passionately opposed to war vote for candidates who were supporting just that. He believes our best hope to end this dilemma is to change our electoral system to one that allows people who do not support the status quo to instead get those who speak for them into the halls of government. Californians for Electoral Reform is working to institute Ranked Choice Voting and Proportional Representation to do just that. This is why he ran for and has served on the CfER board for the past four years.
