Rohrer demands PennDOT quit beating applicants for driver's licenses and stop forcing them to pick cotton

Sam Roher wants to be your next United States Senator. That's so he can take his fresh ideas to Washington, where he not only will dismantle Obamacare but also take dead aim at other individual mandates that toss personal liberty into the crapper, such as the requirement that people need to get a license before they can drive.
Not many other politicians have shown the bravery or prescience of thought needed to recognize that forcing people to pass a test before getting behind the wheel of a monster SUV is just plain constitutionally goofy.
In a letter to a judge in 2006 on behalf of a constituent, Rohrer wrote, "An individual who wishes to utilize an automobile or other means of conveyance in order to exercise his right to travel cannot lawfully be required to obtain a license to drive or to register his automobile in order to operate it freely on our roads."
Thus, under Rohrer's line of thought, requiring a driver's license is just like slavery because it "limits one's rights in every conceivable way, including one's right to move about freely. Likewise, refusing to acknowledge an individual's right to travel is an unconstitutional restriction of one's liberty and should not be permitted to continue in Pennsylvania."
But how about the financial hit the state would take if it lost all that licensing revenue?
Rohrer has a snappy answer for that: "No one today would dare argue that we should not have eliminated slavery because it was too costly to the American economy. When rights are being violated, no cost is too high to return those rights to the individuals who hold them."
When Sammy gets to Washington there will be high-fives all around for drunks and 8-year-olds and others who got the bum's rush when they were ordered to stay off the highway.
