Post-Election Message from Jeff
I would like to thank all of the people who helped me during this election season! Thank you to everyone who voted for me! Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and energy to assist me with my campaign! Thank you to everyone who contributed money to this campaign! I am very proud of our achievements in getting the message of “Love and Liberty” out to the public! Given the fact that I represent the average person and not the wealthy special interests, we did not have nearly enough money to spend as did the candidates who won. Those candidates who won outspent us by a factor of more than 10 to 1! For the amount of money our campaign spent, we did very well, earning 7163 votes! We got far more “bang for the buck” than every other one of the top eight opponents running! For example, the committee for the top vote-getter spent more than $104,000 in campaign funds to get around 26,000 votes, whereas my committee spent about one-twentieth that amount to earn 7163 votes. That means that we earned around 10 times as many votes per dollar spent than that other candidate. Likewise, we earned far more votes per dollar spent than any other of the top eight competitors in the race. I am very proud of this achievement. I was extremely frugal with the money that was donated to my campaign.

The Love and Liberty Philosophy
Jeff Schwartz has a passion for the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, and the heritage of freedom we’ve been blessed with since 1776. He’s spent 30 years of his life advocating bold and innovative ideas about how we can promote LOVE and HARMONY, LOWER YOUR TAXES, and improve your life WITHOUT increasing the cost of government, and WITHOUT infringing upon any of your individual liberties.
Jeff’s viewpoint is as American as apple pie and resonates with the majority of Americans. He cares about EVERYBODY’S rights and freedoms.
Love and liberty bring people together! Let’s LOWER YOUR TAXES, restore the American Dream, and bring back the good old days of love, peace, and harmony.

I want to empower you, the citizen, to have more freedom of choice and more options in your life. I advocate reforms that will allow the city government to require less of your hard-earned money, thereby reducing the need for high taxes and inflation.
To begin the process of reforming government and making our lives better, we need a voice in government who can articulate these bold, new ideas and bring them up for discussion and consideration.
We owe it to our children and our grandchildren to leave them with a country that’s as free as the country we grew up in. Please join me in my quest to bring bold, new ideas involving individual liberty and personal responsibility to our City Council.

I Want to Empower You!

Big Government Is Failing Us
Our system of big, over-controlling government has been a colossal failure time after time. Despite an 85-year-old “War on Poverty” and “War on Homelessness,” our poverty and homelessness problems are not getting better. Despite three generations of “reforms,” our public schooling system is heavily criticized by one special interest group after another. These schools are now a battleground for an ever-escalating culture war in this city.
We can have a city that’s more prosperous, peaceful, harmonious, and safe. All we need to do is to start implementing policies that promote individual liberty, freedom of choice, voluntary action, and personal responsibility. Almost every problem we face today can be improved by empowering our citizens with more freedom and more personal responsibility.

Slash Property Taxes?
Since 1978, California’s Proposition 13 has saved taxpayers billions of dollars in taxes. What if we strengthened Prop 13 so that ALL property owners get their property taxes reduced to lower tax levels currently enjoyed by neighbors who have kept property in their families since 1978? This would create massively lower tax bills, stimulate new housing, super-charge our local economy, and pressure landlords to lower rents.
Slash Sales Taxes?
Could we super-charge our local economy by reducing or eliminating local sales tax? If Thousand Oaks could set its sales tax rate lower than that of surrounding communities, would out-of-town shoppers flock to our city in droves to make purchases of big-ticket items like cars, trucks, appliances, and furniture? Would these increased sales stimulate our businesses and create more jobs?
Slash Local Income Taxes?
California has one of the highest income tax rates in the county. What if we were to stimulate our local economy by reducing reckless or unnecessary spending by the City of T.O.? By saving money, could we justify reducing local income taxes? Could that make us all better off and more prosperous?

Let's Stay Free!
Is it time to repeal the Thousand Oaks Proclamation of a Local Public Health State of Emergency, which has been in place for well more than two years? Are you ready to return to normal? Let’s never violate the Bill of Rights. Let’s always respect your right to medical privacy.
Inflation/Economy
Inflation is surging and eating away at our savings and our standard of living. Inflation is caused by excessive government spending. Let’s respect our future generations and not saddle them with our debts. Let’s identify and eliminate waste and reckless overspending.
Education
Let’s end the civil war in local education and empower our families with new options. Do you want more choices? Let’s live and let live and employ the Golden Rule.

Public Safety/Crime
Public safety must be a top priority. Let’s make Thousand Oaks the safest city in California. Let’s not be soft on law enforcement. Let’s also support our Constitution.
Water Shortages
A major cause of our perpetual water crisis has been government giving away 80% of California’s water to special interests at highly subsidized rates. Would it be possible to end the water shortages by ending the water subsidies to special interests?
Open Spaces
The voters of Thousand Oaks overwhelmingly support preservation of our open spaces. Let’s listen to the people. Can we preserve the beauty of this area while at the same time addressing the ongoing needs of our community?
