A resident
of New York City for 20 years, Finan has been able to see up close
what the city and the country has undergone through the various
transitions and iterations of government that we have undergone in
the various administrations. Living in walking distance to the
United Nations has also fostered an acute awareness of the
international pulse and feelings of the international community
regarding our country. "It is shocking how many people and countries
there are out there that harbor deep hatred towards our nation. We
have a major identity crisis in the international community and a
real Public Relations crisis on our hands." states
Finan. In the
words of Andy Warhol, "Things change with time, but sometimes you
have to change". The Libertarian Party represents this change and
offers a strong alternative to independent voters to join ranks and
make a challenge to the traditional choices offered by The
Democratic and Republican Parties. It is for this reason that
Finan
has entered the Presidential race to offer a legitimate choice that
promises a chance for significant change available to the American
voter.
