Media interviewAlciere stated the following in an interview with Laconia Daily Sun:Why he's running"You can't fix crazy, so I just tell it like it is," Alciere said.Alciere called President Donald Trump a "mad man," and cited him bombing civilian vessels and hijacking oil tankers in international waters, and going to war with no declaration from Congress.He does agree with some aspects of Trump's presidency, however."I like the fact that he has picked conservatives for the United States Supreme Court and overturned Roe vs. Wade," Alciere said. "He picks people, and sometimes they rule correctly, like on birthright citizenship."Alciere said the bigotry displayed by Trump has gotten to him. He is against military alliances, and thought the U.S. should have let the people of Europe escape to the United States instead of turning them away, causing countless deaths."And then saying, 'Oh, let's prop up the state of Israel in the middle of a hostile regime,'" Alciere said. "The way to deal with Hamas is to let their people escape to the United States. The people who are living under Hamas, a terrorist organization."Alciere said by committing war crimes, they are forcing more casualties and collateral damage. He said the U.S. could work on resettling people, and vetting people to ensure they won't commit crimes stateside.Alciere said there are eight Republicans running for Senate, so he could win with 13% of the vote, theoretically, if the other seven divide equally."So, if the undeclared voters say, 'This guy is the anti-Trump candidate, I'm voting for him,' I'm in."Open borders"I want to shut down ICE," Alciere said. "This country got along just fine before the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. Blatantly racist. I mean, look at the Chinese. How many people don't know of somebody graduating at the top of their high school class who is Asian? They go on to college and become doctors, accountants, people serving the community."He said people could be fingerprinted at ports of entry, and if they have committed crimes, arrest them. Otherwise, he recommends work permits rather than welfare."Welfare is what incites people to say they don't belong here, as if anybody belongs," Alciere said. "We're all children of the same God. You've got these crazy people who think that their being born here in the United States makes them superior to people born outside some lines on a map, and that's crazy."Alciere said he is against the kidnapping of "God's children" off the streets, and said Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers need to wear masks to avoid paying the price for "malicious wrongdoing.""Stop deporting people," Alciere said. "Open the borders. You can't have numerical limits. If somebody was born outside some lines on a map, what are they supposed to do? Marry your daughter?"Legalizing drugs"If they're selling fentanyl, you don't have to buy any," Alciere said. "Live free or die. You've got to look over the underlying causes and look over the chessboard to deal with issues with drug problems."Alciere said the deadliest of all drugs are cigarettes and alcohol, but they remain readily available, as long the user is of age."But notice how the enemies of liberty conveniently exempt their favorite drugs for themselves," Alciere said. "I was 19 when Gov. Hugh Gallen committed a hate crime. He signed a bill raising the drinking age to 20 when I was 19, and making me no longer old enough. A victim of a hate crime. That was my wake-up call that this country is overrun by crazy, deranged, depraved, degenerate, selfish, greedy, potholes who don't give a fire truck about my rights."Alciere said he thinks laws are created by people of power, as a show of power and control. He said the drinking age does nothing to stop drunk drivers, of legal drinking age, from killing people."No drinking age," he said. "Parents will have to start parenting. Like water, wine, or turpentine, you drink too much of it, it's bad for you."No more zoning"Congress doesn't really have any authority over zoning restrictions, but the states do," Alciere said. "Any movement to make the United States of America a free country requires economic freedom, free from interference at all levels."Alciere said zoning restrictions cause housing shortages, which drives up rent."The state Legislature needs to pass a law banning zoning," Alciere said. "That was one of my priorities, back when I was in the Legislature, briefly. Nullify the zoning restrictions, so that people can build. It's their land."Abolishing public schoolAlciere said public school is one reason the country is failing, as it forces people to buy real estate they don't want, just to be taxed."If they can't afford to pay for their children's education, how are they supposed to pay school taxes while they're paying off a mortgage on a million-dollar house?" Alciere asked. "That is the most ridiculous way to collect tuition."He said he thinks schools should compete against each other. A school with a drug or bullying problem, or one with bad students, would go out of business. He said public schools should be abolished, and let the free market take over. He also doesn't believe in state testing, or required attendance."They believe that every child somehow has a right to an education at somebody else's expense," Alciere said. "When school taxes start going up, they tell the selectmen to impose zoning restrictions to prevent families from moving into their towns."Reproductive rights"Roe vs. Wade was garbage," he said. "It created an imaginary right to kill your baby."Alciere said the only legitimate function of government is to secure the rights of a person, but practicing birth control doesn't violate anybody's rights. However, he said he thinks abortion creates a conflict between the baby's rights and the mother's right to her own body. He said regardless, the termination of a pregnancy needs to be stopped, and he is pro-life."Not to minimize the ordeal they are going through," Alciere said. "We've got to look over the chessboard for ways to minimize the damage to the mother. If somebody wants to open a maternity home and the neighbors stampede Town Hall, we don't want that in our neighborhood."LGBTQ+ rights"I am against homosexuality, but technically they're not violating anybody's rights," Alciere said.Alciere said businesses are forced to hire people in the LGBTQ+ community, which he said is a violation of business owners' rights.Alciere referred to the Founding Fathers' visions in 1776, saying "to secure these rights, governments are instituted.""The legitimate function of the government is to secure the rights of persons," Alciere said. "Technically, they're not violating anybody's rights by having a gay old time. Technically, they're not violating anybody's rights by men pretending to be women, or women pretending to be men, as long as he stays out of the women's locker room. As long as she stays out of the men's locker room. That's where you've got to draw the line."Alciere said children are being "convinced, persuaded to undergo genital mutilation." He said this needs to stop, because "they don't really know what they're doing," and he said once they are 18, they should be able to do what they want with their bodies."It can't be the government making that decision."Alciere said gay marriage should be "up to them," and "there is something seriously wrong with them.""They made that choice," Alciere said. "I don't buy this nonsense about how they had no choice. They're free to break up at any time. It wasn't a shotgun wedding."— Tom Alciere in Laconia Daily Sun interview (September 4, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

A former state representative running for U.S. House in District 2 of New Hampshire on a platform of liberty and justice for all.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Liberty and justice for allBind the federal government down with the chains of the ConstitutionUnalienable rights, by definition, preempt the Rule of Law.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Limiting government to its only legitimate role, which is to secure the rights of persons.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Ron Paul. He followed the U.S. Constitution.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

My campaign website will help them understand: TomAlciere.us

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Integrity.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I will tell it like it is. Of course, nowadays that could make me less successful.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

The person must adhere strictly to the Doctrine of Enumerated Powers, a cornerstone of this federal republic.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I want the United States of America to be a free country, with liberty and justice for all.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

I vaguely remember that President Kennedy was shot.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

I'd rather be a real person, thank you just the same.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Dealing with all the crazy, deranged, depraved, degenerate, selfish, greedy potholes who don't give a fire truck about anybody else's unalienable rights.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Representation based on population should be imrpoved by increasing the House to the constitutional maximum of one member for every 30,000; and each member should have only two staffers, one in the district and one based on Capitol Hill.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

There are advantages and disadvantages. An advantage is they may know good strategies for getting good bills passed. A disadvantage is that they have seen so much wickedness and corruption that they may be less outrages by it.

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

The biggest two threats to the republic are the People's Republic of China, and Donald Trump.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Yes.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Yes. (Ron Paul) In fact, I compiled his Congressional speeches in the Book of Ron Paul on line at RonPaulQuotes.com

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

No.

Tell us your favorite joke.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Principles ought not to be compromised. There are judgment calls, such as the amount of punishment a crime deserves, where compromise may be in order.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

I would oppose most taxes because the federal government has to limit its expenditures to what the U.S. Constitution allows.

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

The House needs to investigate high crimes and misdemeanors, and impeach officers who commit them.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

The U.S. Constitution required that a regulate statement and account of the receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time. Since the transactions of the Federal Reserve banks are shrouded in secrecy, and because there is no constitutional power for Congress allowing the Federal Reserve, it must be abolished.

Campaign website

Alciere’s campaign website stated the following:

Bend The Knee? Not Me!

I do not support Trump. I never did. I never will. Trump is a total jackass, wholly unfit for public office. In 2015, Fergus Cullen, former chairman of the Republican Party of New Hampshire, filed with the Ballot Law Commission to exclude Donald Trump’s name from the Republican primary ballots, providing a laundry list of reasons why Trump isn’t even fit to be called a Republican. Filing … Response from Trump campaign … Ruling. Republicans now supporting Trump show total lack of principle. I am a Ron Paul Revolutionary, having worked on his campaign and built a website, The Book of Ron Paul, cataloguing many of his Congressional speeches and statements.

Let’s see now … the Capitol rioters thought they were defending the Constitution of the United States by physically resisting the fulfillment of its most vivid clause: The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates, and the votes shall then be counted; (Amendment XII) … and Trump supporters count Mike Pence a traitor for doing exactly that.

I distinguish myself from the other candidates as the one who never supported Trump and as the one who wants the United States of America to become a free country, with liberty and justice for all. Face it, most people wind up either voting for Democrats because the Republicans are so bad, or voting for Republicans because Democrats are so bad. I offer the opportunity to vote for a good candidate.

It took a bloody war, started over other issues, to emancipate the slaves in some States, because too many crazy people kept voting wrong. What will it take to open the borders, legalize all drugs, abolish public school and school taxes, and eliminate zoning restrictions, to name just a few of the many steps toward liberty and justice for all?

Let me start with drug laws: If somebody is dealing fentanyl, you don’t have to buy any. You don’t have to let your children buy any. People ask how they are supposed to control their children when the children are in school. That is another reason public school has to go. In a free country, nobody would be forced to pay school taxes. Legitimate schools would have to compete for students, and any school with a drug problem would take care of it or go out of business. In public school, children are taught that a boy who is disappointed he is not a girl, who pretends to be a girl and convinces himself that he is a girl, is a girl. They insist that he has a right to shower with girls in the girls’ locker room, and any girl who objects needs to learn to get over it. I have a better idea: The boy who is disappointed he isn’t a girl, or vice versa, can learn to get over it.

Some voters keep electing candidates who are in favor of public school, insisting that every child somehow has a right to an education at somebody else’s expense. When school taxes go up, they tell local bureaucrats to impose tougher zoning restrictions to prevent more families from moving into the town, and they tell Congress to add more U.S. Border Patrol goons, to prevent more families from moving into the country. Now, what were they saying about “every” child? If families cannot afford to educate their children, how will they afford a bureaucracy that will educate their children, and how in the world will they afford the large house and yard required by the zoning restrictions just so the town can tax it? They designate some parts of town as residential and other parts as business districts, and they complain that so many people are driving cars. Well, without zoning restrictions and parking lot requirements, folks could live closer to working, shopping and drinking; and they could walk home.

Governments never had any right to restrict immigration. Maybe you have heard that silly song, This land is your land, this land is my land... but the truth is, if you own your yard, it is not mine. By the way, that song was performed at Biden’s inauguration. Take a tour of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. and you will get a vivid view of what happened to millions of innocent persons, because of U.S. law enforcement goons enforcing immigration restrictions, preventing the victims from escaping.[15]

Campaign website

Alciere's campaign website stated the following:

Abortion

Life is an unalienable right. Often the baby’s unalienable right to life conflicts with the rights of the mother. The baby’s unalienable right to life narrowly preempts the other rights of the mother, but this is not to minimize the ordeal she faces.

Too many voters overlook the burdens that governments impose on mothers. Orthodox libertarian extremists need to prioritize the elimination of these burdens. For example, somebody wanting to open a maternity home would immediately face local zoning boards. Government-funded colleges don’t schedule classes with unplanned pregnancies in mind. While the young mother tries to pay the rent, that cost is inflated by zoning restrictions whilst her net income is reduced by taxes.

Mothers who are not yet ready to raise their babies need the option of shared parenting, where volunteers take care of the baby when she cannot, until she is ready to take full charge of her kid.

Papa, Don’t Preach

A pregnant girl may face a situation where her parents say, “In this house, you will do as you are told! What did you think you were going to do, disgrace this family with an illegitimate child, and raise a baby here in our house? Oh, no you won’t!”

Congress needs to make the District of Columbia a safe haven for pregnant runaways. The law against transporting her across State lines must be amended to contain that exception.

If somebody transports a pregnant runaway to the District of Columbia and faces a kidnapping charge in her State, what should be done when an extradition demand is made from that State?

Article IV §2 of the United States Constitution is clear:

A person charged in any State with Treason, Felony, or other Crime, who shall flee from Justice, and be found in another State, shall on Demand of the executive Authority of the State from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the State having Jurisdiction of the Crime.

Conveniently it makes no mention of the District of Columbia, which is not a State.

Federal Agencies

When you need to contact a federal agency, there is no excuse for their deliberately and maliciously mis-programming their answering system to reject calls from persons who will not navigate menus. You have a right to reach a live human even if you do not navigate the menus.

There is no excuse for any federal agency telling you that you must use the internet to schedule an appointment or to resolve an issue.

There is no excuse for any federal agency refusing to accept cash payments for “services” that are only necessary because they force you to seek them.

There is no excuse for any federal agency telling you to learn a new computer system so you can get a number and have a seat. Let them run the computer and issue you a number. What are you visiting about? You will explain that in private to the person who will be helping you.

Answering Absurdities

Often, the enemies of liberty can see the obvious flaws in their absurd arguments. Sometimes, their line of reasoning is so absurd they cannot even pronounce it, so they will offer part of it, in such a way as to convey the expectation that you know the rest and accept it as conventional wisdom.

If a man is older than his girlfriend’s father, either of these men might shout at the other, “Mister, she’s eighteen years old.” They agree on the fact while disagreeing on the conclusion to draw from it.

The same thing is happening when enemies of liberty say, “The United States Supreme Court upheld that statute.” as if that settled a matter.

When that happens I might say, “Please explain why you agree with that ruling.” They are stunned at the very idea that they have a choice.

Often, the enemies of liberty use absurd arguments because good, sound, logical reasoning does not support their position, so rather than abandon their incorrect position, they must depend heavily on bad reasoning. They refrain from pointing out the obvious flaws in each other’s lines of reasoning, and this emboldens them to offer the same absurd arguments to us. Never let their ability to offer a line of reasoning with a straight face tempt you to overlook the flaw in the reasoning.

Change the laws

What are we supposed to do, clone ourselves so we can be more numerous on election day than all the crazy people? Don’t blame slavery on the abolitionists.

You never served your country.

As an anti-war activist I often heard this and had trouble figuring out what G.I. Joe was trying to say. Are child molesters the only ones qualified to judge child molesters? Why should I participate in the unjust war I am protesting?

What G.I. Joe is trying to say is this: He dropped Napalm on children in Viet Nam, and that means he is better than you, and so are his opinions, and he is entitled to call the shots and you are not.

George Washington was given a powerful government job as a reward for his work during the Revolutionary War, and because of the respect he earned as commander. That makes sense. Many veterans are trying to cope with all the abuse they endured, by making believe it makes them superior to everybody else. It is easier to pretend if everybody else pretends with them, so they expect all of us to pretend with them, and often react angrily when we will not.

It is true that the average veteran knows more about the laws of land combat and the difference between collateral damage and war crimes than the average protester, but this does not mean that the protester is wrong to protest the war in Iraq, which, let’s face it, was started so Vice President Cheney’s friends at Halliburton could make money off the oil.

Love it or leave it.

One of the favorites of the enemies of liberty, they ignore:

1.) Here’s a better idea: The United States of America could become a free country, with liberty and justice for all.

2.) The only ones who are free to leave the country are the ones who can get permission from the bureaucrats of a foreign country to move there. Dual citizens automatically can move to the other country, but many other people are unable to obtain permission. One reason is that they have a criminal conviction because of a blatantly unjust law, or because a cop lied in court, or both. The other country’s bureaucrats see the conviction and deny permission.

Other fallacies

Personal attacks: Unable to find any flaw in the line of reasoning that proves the Pythagorean Theorem, they seek to find fault with Pythagoras, which is absurd reasoning because the line of reasoning is independent of any person. Unable to find fault with Pythagoras, they often make something up.

Argumentum ad numerum: This is a logical fallacy which holds that if the vast majority believes something, it must be true. One reason so many people profess to believe all the conventional nonsense is because they are afraid of being ridiculed, marginalized and even locked up and drugged if they do not.

The action verb fallacy: It is somehow your job to they-do-something. If it is your job to win elections, then it is somehow your job to they-vote-for-you, and you must not force them, and they refuse.

Of course, if we are stupid enough to fall for this, they always win.

If orthodox libertarian extremists are unable to convince more voters, it is because most voters refuse to shut off their crazy switch. They refuse to become reasonable. Convince is an action verb that requires the co-operation of the direct object. Legislators did not defeat their opponents, the voters who elected them did. The same is true with court cases. If you lose in court, it does not mean there was any flaw in your legal arguments. More often, the so-called justices chose to vomit forth another manifestation of malicious judicial perfidity.

The possessive adjective fallacy: Picture a 14-year-old girl who screams wildly because she does not get her way, and then she pulls a knife on her step-father. This sounds like a spoiled brat, right? When I explain that the step-father was trying to rape her, and she reacted this way, now she sounds much more reasonable. It helps to know what “her way” is. Orthodox libertarian extremists run into this because the enemies of liberty don’t want to admit that good, sound, logical reasoning proves that our way is also the correct way.

One part of this fallacy is when the enemies of liberty claim, “That’s just YOUR opinion!” and ignore the solid line of good, sound reasoning that clearly proves our opinion is correct. To call it your opinion is to demote the correct opinion down to the level of all other opinions, as if all opinions were equally valid.

With religious opinions, there is truth to this. Is it a sin to eat pork? Is it a sin to eat meat on Friday? Is it a transgression to drink coffee? Maybe we will all find out on Judgment Day, but until then, all of those opinions are equally valid. With other opinions, it makes no difference how intensely somebody holds the opinion. What matters is whether the opinion is correct or not.

Enemies of liberty have often accused me of being no better than Hitler, who put his opinions above the opinions of the masses. I put my correct opinions above the opinions of the masses. These are very different opinions, and therein lies the big difference. All opinions are not equally valid. We all know how Hitler was not exactly championing the cause of liberty and justice for all.

Since religious opinions are equally valid, what about the often-cited God-given rights? Isn’t it a religious opinion that liberty is a God-given right?

Yes, it is a religious opinion, much as it is a religious opinion that God makes the tide rise at Hampton Beach. Some people think that a godless Nature makes the tide rise. Luckily for us, it is totally irrelevant whether God or Nature makes the tide rise, because we can plainly see that, either way, the tide does rise; and it is irrelevant whether liberty is a God-given right or a Natural right, because, either way it is an unalienable right, which no government can justly infringe.

Collectivism

Enemies of liberty are quick to allege, “The people overwhelmingly support that law!”

To that I reply, “No, I do not!” Always remember what your geometry teacher said: For a statement to be true, it must be true for all cases. They may be so used to lying, they forgot how to speak the truth: The overwhelming majority of people support that law. That is no excuse to violate the unalienable rights of everybody else.

Enemies of liberty have argued that statistical analysis of historical crash data proves that the government should commit a hate crime against innocent, responsible alcohol drinkers who are younger than 21. Truth is, each person is a distinct individual and a distinct transaction, except for organized forces on a mission.

Not only the exact same enemy pilots who dropped the bombs on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, but all of the armed forces of the hostile government are the enemy, for the duration of the hostilities.

Not only the exact same enemy officers who threw the flash grenade into Bounkham Phonesavanh’s playpen on 28 May 2014, but all of the police forces of the hostile government are the enemy until the inevitable ultimate triumph of Operation U.S.A. Freedom. They are all on a mission to intimidate innocent persons into obeying the unjust laws of an unjust government. (Deter means intimidate.)

The War on Cash

It is not only the federal government that is waging a war on cash. By harassing and intimidating innocent persons, bureaucrats and many businesses are trying to stop you from using cash.

Many gasoline stations charge you more for paying in cash than if you pay by debit card. The solution there is simply to stop buying things from those gasoline stations. Let them go
