Earlier this year Ohio was rocked by a scandal in the Ohio Attorney General’s Office when Democrat Marc Dann resigned in disgrace. Dann had been swept into office with other Democrats in state wide races following the improprieties of the Taft Administration. It is time to vote in someone not affiliated with either major political party.
Richard Cordray (D), Michael Crites (R), and Robert Owens (I) are campaigning to replace former AG Marc Dann (D). You can see a bit of Mr. Owens in the YouTube video below.
Owens is affiliated with the Constitution Party (CP) of Ohio. Actually he is the chairman of the Constitution Party. However, he is running as an independent candidate. I was a member of the CP until the national party compromised on the abortion issue.
Robert Owens For Attorney General
Some of the ideals that Robert Owens believes in are: a common-sense and less regulation for small business, an armed citizenry is the best deterrent to violent crime, and that it is important to stop the millions of dollars in no-bid contracts for political patronage.
Owens, a strong advocate of Second Amendment rights, is the only candidate in the race who actually holds a concealed carry permit.
In a Cleveland.com blog article Reginald Fields wrote quoting Owens, “"I think this is the best opportunity for an independent to win a race like this. The last two attorney generals, one a Democrat and one a Republican, have been absolute nightmares for that office."
“Owens is a limited-government advocate who says he's endorsed by the Constitution, Reform and Libertarian political parties.”
I think that Owens would be a refreshing change to politics as usual in Ohio and in America. See a copy of Owens' newspaper ad here.

A lot of Ron Paul supporters are endorsing Owens, so I will probably vote for him, but it is hard to find information about exactly what he and Crites stand for. Owens is a member of the John Birch Society, and I certainly agree with their views. The folks at the Institute for Principled Policy are also giving him the nod.
