I like both your points. I think HR6166 is going to take too much time. Heres a little of what I had in mind.

I took the initiative to start the Libertarian Party because I am sick of red vs blue. I found myself agreeing with nearly all of the LP principles. I wanted to give the voters of this county an alternative.

America is an idea, a dream, and that is all. We have borders, armies, citizens, commerce and industry, but all this merely makes us like every other nation on this Earth. What separates us is the idea, the simple idea, that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are our organizing principles.
We can think, speak and write as we please, worship and go where we please. We are protected from the kinds of tyranny that inspired our creation as a nation in the first place. What happened on Sept 11th was used to attack our freedoms, our 4th amendments rights to be specific. It
disgusts me that our Govt can spy on us bypassing our Judicial system. They can go in our homes without a warrant based on flimsy evidence. Because of this I could never vote Republican again, and the Democrats offer even less of an alternative, and appear as cowards.

I am glad our Judicial candidates are here, I would hope in the future a more thorough review of requests for warrants against citizens of this county will be undertaken. A certain police officer south of the river appears to be undertaking the task of re-writing our constitution. If our judicial candidates don't protect the citizens of this county I don't know who will. I would hope that our next Sheriff will also hold his police officers accountable for their actions. I realize that they have a very difficult job. There is a fine line to doing good for the people and crossing that line makes one just as criminal as the ones they are trying to arrest.

As a County Council candidate whats important is reviewing the spending of the peoples money in the most intelligent way possible. I would hope that the council would review the wheel tax and consider lowering it to a more reasonable amount.

(The police officer in the speech has sought warrants and came up empty a number of times, why our judges continue to sign them is beyond me, the wheel tax is an Indiana thing and was brought in at the maximum amount. A lot of people are very pissed about this.)
