A Brief Biography of Derrick Michael Reid (Libertarian Party candidate)

Derrick Michael Reid is a graduate of Western State University and the University of California and has attended many other institutions of higher education. He boasts of having 20 years of educational training and 45 years of professional training. He claims that during that period he was able to effectively enjoy the benefits of 100 years of combined study and experience. Despite having mastered the difficult fields of engineering and law, he admits his ability to communicate in English is limited, calling math his first language. Reid is a religious man and credits great religious movements with establishing social taboos against incest, adultery, abortion, murder, cannibalism, and homosexuality. Nevertheless he is amenable to gay rights. While personally disapproving of homosexual conduct, he believes the government has no place passing laws regarding sexual behavior between consenting adults. Reid is against interpreting the Constitution as a living document allowing the judicial branch impose anything they wish to impose as constitutional. Reid supports individual liberty and state’s rights over the  authority of the government. Reid wants to return to a basic, revolutionary-era interpretation of the Constitution.
