Kent Greenough Scores Perfect 100% on Campaign For Libertyʼs Candidate Survey

During the 2010 campaign cycle, the Campaign For Liberty (www.campaignforliberty.com) posed an identical list of twenty (20) questions to all gubernatorial, U.S. Senate and U.S. Representative candidates throughout the country. The questions covered the areas of Money/Economy, Civil Liberties, Federalism/Globalism, Labor, Foreign Policy, Health Care and Government.

The Campaign For Liberty has now published the answers received from the candidates. The stated purpose for publishing the answers from the candidates is “keeping candidates true to their word should they get elected.” The publication is not an endorsement of any individual candidate, and recipients of the publication have been encouraged to view the websites and statements of individual candidates in order to make fully informed personal decisions.

Per the Campaign For Liberty, the correct answer to all questions was “Yes”. A “No” answer was considered by the Campaign For Liberty as a deficiency toward Liberty. Kent Greenough answered “Yes” to each of the 20 questions, resulting in his perfect score of 100%.
