In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Member of the Texas and Idaho Bar Associations. Member of the U.S. Supreme Court Bar and the USPTO Bar. Fourth generation grandson of John Blair, Jr. who signed the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787. I have a background in agriculture, over 10 years of working experience, in medicine 1.5 years short of an M.D. degree from UAG School of International Medicine in Guadalajara, MX, B.A. in Spanish including a spring semester in Valencia, Spain and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering.

Currently, I work for Medicaid/Medicare of Washington, Community Health Plan and perform Medical Theraputic Therapy for bilingual members on a daily basis. I researched and invented the 180 day summer fill to save patients trips to the pharmacy by saving gas and increasing safety, and as a savings to pharmacies in labor and supplies.

I have worked at Hanford as an Environmental Intern and researched the use of emergency overground piping to drain leaking single shell tanks that were leaking nuclear waste. The method was actually used because the original underground pipe system was not workable.

I am the working person's candidate. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. We must work to restore the American family to have a hope for our future. We must come home to our original values and our original Constitutional vision of freedom. Power must lie in the people and NOT in a centralized government that allows a handful of the rich to rule over us fashion as Stalin and Mao.

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?

We must fight against "The Technological Republic" and that vision of the future by Alex Karp and Peter Thiel and all the same. These men are evil, cruel and completely unreasonable unelected people who are drunk with money and power. The American people and the free people of the world must quickly recognize who these people are, identify them and work to dismantel the system that allowed them to gain such a monopoly of power over us. This is the greatest danger and threat to our precious freedom that has ever existed in the history of the U.S.A. in the past 250 years. Using 125 million dollars they plan to buy this mid-term election and to finish off with Peter Thiel's candidate in the next Presidential election.We must reduce the federal debt. The Constitution uses the phrase "necessary and proper" we must return to a strict adherence to Article I, Section 8 use of Federal powers. At least 80% of the standing U.S. Army stationed in the USA must be placed in reserve with standard reserve training and the potential of quick recall. We cannot afford to pay for an idol army. And any military action that endures for two years must return to Congress to be reapproved or abandoned. There can no longer be unlimited military spending. Every branch of the federal government must be held to a limited amount of budgeted money. A balanced budget is mandatory. We return to solvency or we will lose our currency and all our freedom with it.The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. We must restore marketable and useable education and skill training to our schools. Our education system is now a sad, cruel waste of precious/limited time. We must return the basal text reading level in our schools to where it was before 1963 and make academics the focus of our schools. Morality, civil responsibility and world religions must be taught in schools. No teacher should be required to teach a student that is intoxicated or influenced by an illegal controlled substance.

Beginning in elementary school all students must be trained in some marketable skill that can provide a livelihood. Parenting and social skills must also be taught. Athletics can no longer be the focus.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Until 1870 the standard public policy in this nation was the law of Moses; it informs all mankind what is right and wrong. It had nothing to do with any other religion. The law of Moses was fixed for all time. The first 11 chapters of Genesis was prior to Judaism and is the template for all mankind in all the universe for all time. Surely these principles have been abused and misused, undoubtedly. However, no amount of human effort or legislation can reverse the mandates of The Divine Creator. Public policy is not law but a guide to help lawmakers and judicial system and all citizens to discern what is right and wrong. If there is no morality then no law and no United States that was built on the law of love thy neighbor as thy self.
