"Freedom let's us improve our lives -- government control makes that impossible" -- Donald Beezley, Republican candidate for Colorado State House

The Broomfield Enterprise reports:

Local businessman Don Beezley, a Republican, launched his campaign for the statehouse on Sunday. He`ll be running against Rep. Dianne Primavera, D-Broomfield, who has held the House District 33 seat since 2007.

Beezley lives in Broomfield with his wife, Pat, and two sons, Connor and Alexander. He is the president of Tager Enterprises.

Beezley has been active in conservative and libertarian circles. He is a guest writer for the libertarian-leaning Independence Institute and serves on the advisory board of the conservative Leadership Program of the Rockies. He also is on the board of the Tabor Foundation, which promotes the Colorado Taxpayer`s Bill of Rights.

Some highlights of Beezley's stances:

•Low taxes and no new taxes

•Oppose unreasonable regulations and oppose any additional taxes, fees and burdens where jobs are created—businesses

•Tax policy that disconnects patients from their doctors must be changed by moving tax benefits to the individual level while empowering individuals with vehicles like Health Savings Accounts.

•School choice, especially in the form of charter schools, must be protected and competition that fuels excellence, innovation and continuous improvement must be fostered.

•Home schooling must be protected as an option for families to choose.

•Stop the massive tax and fee increases imposed by the Democrats—in violation of constitutional requirements that Colorado government must ask the people first.

•Maintain the commonsense provisions of the Taxpayer's Bill of rights (TABOR). Government must ask first before it can take your money.

•Recognize that the depths of a recession when people are losing their jobs and their homes is not the time to impose billions in new taxes and fees.
