Andre Marrou, Libertarian Party: The Libertarian party is governed by Thomas Jefferson's principle, "That government is best which governs least." Marrou believes America's problems can not be solved under the Democrats or Republicans.

The party says it places "a high value on both personal freedom and economic liberty." Marrou supports phasing out income tax, ending the deficit by "eliminating wasteful and unnecessary programs" and making Germany and Japan pay for their own defense.

He also supports tuition tax credits for students and upholds abortion rights, though he opposes government funding for abortions.

Marrou's running-mate is Nancy Lord, an attorney specializing in medical-legal and constitutional issues.

Howard Phillips, Independent Voters Party: In contrast to the "Great Society" policies, Phillips offers voters a "Grand Bargain, which he says would cut federal spending by $500 billion a year and eliminate the need for taxes and the Internal Revenue Service.

Phillips, the chair of the Conservative Caucus and the U.S. Taxpayers Alliance, calls himself "projobs, pro-growth and pro-life." He promises to appoint no judge who fails to publicly acknowledge the humanity of every unborn child.

He also favors capital punishment, saying "the answer to violent crime is not more prisons, but more executions." He also says he will work to "repeal quotas" and cut off "federal subsidies for homosexuality."
