Scott D'Amboise stands with the small farmers of Maine and America

Over the past summer, I have had the chance to meet many small farmers in the great state of Maine. Having been raised on a small farm myself, my campaign has promoted this message from the Machias BlueBerry Festival to the Fryeburg Fair.

"If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny." - Thomas Jefferson

OVERVIEW

I believe that economic and personal liberties are indivisible. Nowhere are these liberties better exemplified and expressed than in the ability of the American farmer to conduct business with the American consumer.

Therefore, one of the cornerstones of my campaign will be to defend and protect the liberties of the American farmer (especially the small, local farmer) as well as the American consumer who chooses to buy their products.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE & CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES

I believe the Declaration of Independence declares the God given liberties of all American farmers to raise, produce and sell their products and the American consumer to purchase such products.

I believe the Constitution of the United States protects the God given liberties of all American farmers to raise, produce and sell their products and the American consumer to purchase such products.

I will therefore fight to protect these liberties of the American farmer. The Federal government has no inherent power to intervene in the private transaction between the American small farmer and their customers.
