TAMPA Adrian Wyllie isnt your typical candidate for governor of Florida. Among other things, he campaigns in beer parlors and brags on the stump about his most recent arrests.

But theres method in the seeming madness of Wyllie, the Libertarian wholl be on the ballot in November along with Republican Gov. Rick Scott and his Democratic challenger, former Gov. Charlie Crist.

Wyllie did a statewide tour of campaign stops in craft breweries because he thinks recent legislative proposals that threatened Floridas nascent but booming craft beer industry but didnt pass typified excessive government regulation motivated by crony politics.

The arrests he brags about, the most recent in Collier County, are for driving while refusing to get a drivers license in protest of the new anti-terrorism Real ID system that requires extensive identification. Wyllie says it subjects citizens to potentially excessive government surveillance.

His proposals for how to run state government arent exactly conventional, either.

He wants to cut the state budget by 30 percent; abolish environmental regulations, marriage licenses and property taxes on homesteads; fully legalize marijuana; and convert the state to a kind of gold standard. Florida, he says, should pay all its bills with gold or silver coins.

Wyllie says his ideas are necessary to save Florida from what he calls the growing totalitarian state, which he says is imbued with waste, cronyism and corruption.

I cant say I really want to be governor, but I recognize the need, he told a small crowd of students at St. Petersburg College last week.

One of his first challenges is how to tell people what Libertarians stand for.

McDermott has stated, Every battle that is just and right needs to be fought, and I firmly stand with Long Island mom and real estate agent Gigi Bowman and her campaign because the people of the 5th Senate District deserves to have another choice on who represents them in the State Senate.

Members of the opposition. All Progressives Congress in the Senate on Friday clarified that their decision to vote against the approval of the $1bn loan request by President Goodluck Jonathan did not mean they were against the current war against insurgency in the country.

Members of the APC in the upper chamber had kicked against the approval of the loan to procure military hardware, though their counterparts in the Peoples Democratic Party supported it and their voice votes were upheld by Senate President David Mark during plenary on Thursday.

But speaking with our correspondent on the issue, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, (APC, Ekiti Central), said his colleagues were not opposed to endorsing the bid by Jonathan to raise money for the military to combat terrorism but that they were opposed to borrowing money for that purpose.

He also stated that the legislators were against the idea of seeking such approval through a letter of request, instead of bringing a supplementary appropriation bill, as recognised by law.

He said, The Constitution recognises laid-down rules for appropriation and since the procedure adopted by the Presidency contradicted the rules, we dont want to be part of constitution violators. Besides, we dont believe we should borrow money for that purpose.

Also, the leader of the opposition in the Senate, George Akume, said his colleagues voted against the loan approval because they wanted to be guided by the law of the country.

He said his colleagues were opposed to the approval to avoid constitutional breaches, which he said had been frequently recorded in the country for too long.

Akume said, If we want to borrow, let us follow what is stipulated in the Constitution so that we know where we are going. We have raised fundamental issues and the Senate must be guided by the provisions of the Constitution, as far as this matter is concerned

Also, Akume said the opposition party was not against obtaining a loan to fight insurgency, but that the proper process must be followed to get the loan.

He insisted that APC members had raised issues that touched on the Constitution, which superseded the Procurement Act used as defence by the PDP senators.
