Candidate for
United States Representative; District 14; Republican Party

I love my country and I'm tired of seeing it being sold down the river for inane and destructive ideologies that have no track record of working ANYWHERE and having failed EVERYWHERE. As most Americans, I have had it up to my eyeballs with the overt incompetence and heinous policies that have been forced upon us. Our freedoms are being ripped away from us at break-neck speed. Instead of complaining that "somebody" would do something, I am standing up and doing something. Americans have now said enough is enough.

I am old enough that I have witnessed what America was, and wise enough to see what it can be again. You may be thinking as many do, "I know our country has problems, but they are so big what can I do that will make a difference?" That kind of thinking has kept us paralyzed while dishonorable activities continue to triumph. What you can do to make a difference is utilize the power you have through the ballot box in voting for public servants that reflect your viewpoints. At the end of the day you get what you vote for. I hope by now we have had our share of our ears being tickled in order to get elected because of an inability to do anything except make a career out of politics. Our original Congress was made up of blacksmiths, farmers, and bakers. People like you and me that were the pulse of the country; and as history shows us we turned out quite well thank you. Fast forward 200 hundred years, we now have a house of out of touch elitist "representatives" that do not represent. Decide for yourself if it is turning out well.

My goal for America is not only to see it be renewed it to it's moral heritage that succeeded in making it the greatest country the world has ever seen, but even better and brighter. To do that, someone needs to stand up and boldly say the emperor has no clothes. I may not tell you what you want to hear, but I will tell you what you need to hear. And if elected, I will not be checking in my conscience at the door of Washington. Please vote for me to be your voice. And if I don't represent, ..vote me out !
