I am an avid reader and regularly browse through several online publications each week.  I have been writing letters and editorials to the newspapers for years regarding my views on many issues.  I am running for the Republican party as an Abe Lincoln center right Republican. 

I am grateful that my supporters are people of all races and ages and they are from the largest cities to the smallest towns.  I am also grateful to have the support of people like Jim Daly - President and CEO of Focus on the Family as well as Michael J. Fox.

a)  I am an economic centrist or in the middle on the economic issues. I don't desire to live in a communist nation where the government takes everything from everyone and redistributes it as as they see fit. Neither do I want to live in a nation where a few of the wealthiest people in the nation control the majority of the nations wealth and the people and families at the bottom that are working hard can barely make ends meet. (Warren Buffett who is a multi-billionaire is an economic centrist.)

b)  I am pro-life and desire to inspire a respect for God given human life.  I also support adult stem cell research which does not involve creating embryos to take stem cells from them, and then destroying the embryo.  Adult stem cells are found in all tissues of the growing human being and hold great promise to help find much needed cures for several different diseases.

c)  I encourage the traditional family with a father and mother, yet also fully recognize that single parents and blended families need encouragement as well.


d)  I believe the vast majority of NRA members are people like my father that always had hunting and sporting guns.  I uphold citizen's rights to have hunting & sporting guns, and those citizen's that have had the training and are licensed to carry firearms, however, I would ban citizens from owning assault weapons (similar to machine guns.)  We should enforce the assault weapons ban and stop the the assault weapons that are flowing from the USA to Mexico that are arming the Mexican drug cartels and making much of Mexico such a dangerous place to live!  The USA is giving millions to Mexico to stop the drug cartels.  The USA must stop the flow of assault weapons and/or machine guns and Mexico must stop the corruption!


e) English being taught in all schools in the nation and offered to adults as well so that we have a common language that unites us all as Americans.

f) Immigration Reform is an important topic.  The Government should safeguard national borders, see the importance of family reunification, and have a fair process toward legal status for currently undocumented immigrants.  Many of our own family members were immigrants to America.  We should seek humane treatment realizing the process needs to be reasonable and could have requirements such as undocumented immigrants to pay their back taxes.

g) Encouraging churches & non-profit organizations, that might have the ability, to consider starting after school programs and/or summer day camps. Pastors Rich & Robyn Wilkerson at Trinity Church in Miami, FL as well as others, have a successful program.

h) Universities - stop the coed dorms & teaching from x rated books.

i) Agree upon a reasonable moral standard & dress code in the schools.

j) Having a balanced view regarding recycling and taking care of the earth as God's creation. My family and I recycle newspapers, plastic, aluminum etc..

j) Stop all advertising of the tobacco companies. I realize some people are presently addicted to tobacco, however, we can stop them from addicting the next generation. Eventually phase out the tobacco farms and help the farmers develop other crops that can be a financial blessing to them such as corn or soybeans etc.

k) Uphold the laws regarding under aged drinking of alcohol and Driving Under the Influence of alcohol.
