Randy Luallin for U.S. Congress District 2

My name is Randy Luallin. I was born in St. Louis Missouri in 1957. My family moved to Colorado in 1962. I primarily was brought up in Boulder Colorado and graduated High School from Fairview High School, class of 1975. I grew up in a very nurturing family with Christian values of Faith, Hope and Love.   My journey took me next to military service in the U.S. Army and the values of Duty, Honor, Country.  I attended Colorado State University studying Wildlife management.  My career for nearly 30 years has been as a Mason, working up from a laborer to owning my own business, Luallin Masonry.  I am also partners in a Limestone quarry in Kansas called Bluestem Quarry.  I have been married twice and currently engaged to Rajni Lerman.  I'm so proud of my wonderful family consisting of twins  Caleb and Anna and four grandchildren, Trinity, Sage, Vayda and Blake.  My interests include running long distance (attempted the Leadville 100 and co-directed the Coal Creek Cross County Challenge), hunting, hiking (all the states 14ers and some of the 7 summits of the world), history (particularly the west), traveling (I have been all over the world) and writing (one novel "Maroons- a Human Epic" and working on the sequel) and dancing to good music.  My spiritual beliefs have been influenced by an eclectic mix of all the great teachings.  My political career consists of running for Boulder County Commissioner 4 times,  Louisville charter commission, Louisville City Council and Mayor of Louisville.  Currently, I have built and live in a sustainable home and am experimenting with alternative fuels.  I advocate and have participated as a volunteer for the Cub Scouts, Indian Guides, Public Access Television, Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, Habitat for Humanity and other civic events. I truly enjoy life and the many people I encounter. What I offer as a representative is a non- judgmental objective listening approach to tackling the issues that confront us.  With the Constitution as our framework and fairness, liberty and justice for all to guide us,  I believe we can successfully evolve as a people and a nation. 

I humble elicit your vote in the coming election.   Our Nation  is faced with many issues as it always has.  The most profound is the one we have and always will be confronted with.  That is the issue of Freedom and keeping government a servant government and not our master.  The recent passage of Bills like  HR 347 which allows the arrest of anyone protesting in the "area" in which a dignitary escorted by the "secret police" occupy is one.  The recent Executive order "National Defense Resources Preparedness" in which The President and his Secretaries have the authority to seize all domestic resources is another example.  These are just two of many that should be troubling to us all.  Our elected legislators no longer are needed to declare and make war.  Our currency is no longer ours but borrowed notes from a central bank.  The Media is controlled by the same Business's that exact control over our representatives through a money based election process.  The Corporate Octopus given personhood and extraordinary rights by our own supreme court perpetrates regulation that ingratiates itself and stifles competition.   Currently we are required by law to purchase health insurance from private enterprise.  As long as Business and State are not separate this will continue.  Freedom is the absence of Fear.  We the people have become fearful.  Fearful that if we make a mistake on our taxes everything will be taken from us.  Fearful that if we speak out we will be labelled a terrorist and jailed without bond or trial.  Fearful that our children will be sent to a war not for our defense but to enrich the interests of a few.  And the list goes on.  Libertarians believe and are dedicated to  Liberty, individual rights, individual responsibility and non aggression.  It is only in this atmosphere that peace and prosperity can take place.  I will dedicate myself to these principles for all.  Electing me will not be a silver bullet but a beginning to bringing this about as one vote in the House of Representatives of the United States.
