Who are you? Tell us about yourself.
In seeking this office, I will devote my full time, maybe a 60-hour week to being your representative. (I will not be a part-time representative weigh down with other responsibilities at home or otherwise). I am knowledgeable in current events and have a conservative, balanced world view. To me being conservative means if I see true green, it’s true green, not yellow, white, etc. The same as on any 3rd grade reading test. When test asked: What did the author say? the test is not asking what do you think the author said or what did the author say to you, nor what do you think the author meant to say. Again, the question on the test asked: What did the author say? A liberal will look at true green and call it any color but true green in order to better serve his/her purpose. So too, he/she will interpret any text as to what they want it to say seeking an advantage to their purpose while ignoring what the author actually said and meant while leaving nothing out of his/her intended purpose.
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?
Lincoln, MLK, Truex Amendment It was the intention of Abraham Lincoln to not only free the slaves with the EMANICAPATION PROCLAMATION but also to pass a later amendment making them equal with identical rights of citizenship as enjoyed by all fellow Americans regardless of race, color or creed. So too was the dream of Martin Luther King. The purpose of my amendment will be to finally fulfill both men’s dream by granting identical Constitutional guarantees to all America citizens.The freedom of the individual’s conscience will, however, also be retained to his/her personal beliefs, principles, opinions, views, philosophies, attitudes, viewpoints, and values, without government interference or intrusion into his/her personal life and property so long as they are peacefully expressed.Balance Budget: I support only low, minimum taxes. Bonds can be sold to finance rebuilding our infrastructure, and other government projects. Investment dollars, not tax dollars, are readily available to buy bonds to finance many projects. I have a unique way to balance the budget and pay off our national debt. Who is the best budgeter in America? The American housewife! She balances her checkbook every day to the penny. Therefore, I’d like to see a lottery randomly picking at least semi-qualified American citizens to comb through the spending of every government dollar. Then, every place they can find needless spending and waste they will receive, on a sliding scale, 5-25% of everything they save the American taxpayer when uncovering waste, fraud, corruption, etc.I believe in science. We must find our brilliant American students, encourage them, nurture them and assist them in every way possible to inspire them to greatness in any critical field they choose to study especially genetic research which is better health care than what we have now. I want to invest $2 trillion over the next ten years to engineer many illnesses and disabilities out of our health. I’m told by PhD. scientist I’ve met that is now possible. When this is accomplished, it will save trillions of dollars that will no longer need to be spent on traditional health care as we know it today.
