Episode 139. Freedom First: Donald Rainwater's Campaign for Governor
In this episode of the Forge of Freedom podcast, host Alex Ooley interviews Donald Rainwater, a candidate for governor of Indiana. Rainwater discusses his background, the importance of limited government and libertarian values, and his plans for tax reform and drug policy. He emphasizes the need to reduce property taxes and eliminate the state income tax, as well as decriminalize and legalize cannabis. Rainwater believes that individuals should have the freedom to make their own choices and that government should not interfere in personal decisions.
In this conversation, Donald Rainwater discusses the importance of voting based on principle rather than choosing the lesser of two evils. He emphasizes the need to take back our unalienable rights and rein in government when it violates those rights. Rainwater advocates for real universal school choice, criticizing the current education system and the lack of true choice in Indiana. He also expresses his opposition to red flag laws, highlighting the potential for abuse and the infringement on Second Amendment rights. Rainwater addresses the challenges he faces in participating in debates and calls on voters to support his campaign for a smaller, more efficient, and more effective government.
