Fostoria-born Charlie Earl spoke to North Central Ohio Conservatives about his candidacy for Ohio governor at a meeting Thursday. <\/p>\n
Earl attended Mohawk High School and served in the Ohio House of Representatives as a Republican. He said he had worked with Sen. Sherrod Brown and Gov. John Kasich and said that after 30 years, Ohio government has not improved. <\/p>\n
Earl is running for governor as a Libertarian. <\/p>\n
\"One of the reasons I became a Libertarian ... was that I liked the concept of 'Do what you want to do, as long as you don't harm others or their property,'\" he said. \"Do you need a law for every little thing we do? Why not have a law that says if you mess up somebody's life or somebody's property, you're responsible, regardless of the reason?\" <\/p>\n
Earl said it takes years to make a difference, but he said \"the key was to turn it in the right direction.\" <\/p>\n
He said Ohioans must be bold and have the \"courage to say no\" to the federal government. <\/p>\n
He said he has a \"triple vision\" for Ohio. <\/p>\n
\"The first part is capturing and recapturing ... that vision of our Founders,\" he said. \"They were idealists. They were pragmatists.\" <\/p>\n
His second vision included internal and eternal vision. \"That's the sense in your heart ... that I believe is God-given,\" he said. <\/p>\n
Earl said all citizens are allowed by law to search for \"life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness\" and that it offers a sense of fulfillment. <\/p>\n
