Meet the Candidate: Lisa Liel
About Me
I am 54 years old, and I live in Talpiot with my partner (55) and our daughter (17). I work as a computer programmer. I grew up in a Conservative home, and became Orthodox while at college. I am an Objectivist (adherant of the philosophy of Ayn Rand), and strive to implement that philosophy in my life. I have done (and continue to do) research in the history of Israel during biblical times (Bronze and Iron Ages).
Why Zehut?
Zehut is not merely a political party, but rather an ideological movement. Every action it takes will be based on "will this bring us closer to our goals?" and not "will this help me keep my seat?"
The ideology of Zehut is not limited to one or two areas, but is comprehensive, dealing with all areas of life in Israel. All from the perspective of the Jewishness of the state and the liberty of the citizen.
What do you bring with you to Zehut?
I am a problem solver by trade. I bring with me the ability to design laws and processes in a way which will prevent unintended (and undesired) consequences. I have rhetorical skills, particularly in English, and I will be able to present our positions to the world better than the state currently does.
What are the main issues upon which you will focus?
In no particular order:
* Release of lands now under state ownership to the public. * Monetary reform, including preventing legalized counterfeiting by the banks (partial reserves) and freeing the interest rate so that it can find its natural level in the market. * Requiring that every law (other than Basic Laws) include an expiration date, not to exceed 20 years. * Finally ending the state of war we are in, by means of defeating our enemies and extending full Israeli sovereignty over all areas of the Land of Israel under our control.
How will you attract voters to Zehut?
By presenting our logical and just ideas in a way that makes them easy to understand. We all want solutions, but most of the nation has long since given up hope of finding them. But a seed of hope is still there, inside each of us, and we can awaken it if we present our ideas properly.
Why should we vote for you?
Because I have the ability to think outside the box, and to explain complex concepts efficiently and in a way that is readily understandable by the listener. I can convince Israelis to vote for the Zehut Party in the next elections.
