Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am an average citizen with an above average interest and concern for our people and nation. Understanding our United States history is rooted in European culture is an essential element of being fully informed.

It is my belief that our identity as United States Citizens is found in the Declaration Of Independence, which is a reflection from the best of European history, culture and knowledge of human civilization.

When my fellow citizens have found the time to read and study that document, what they share with me is a confirmation of the statement above. Their identity can be found in that document and that document holds a timeless and universal identity for all people. A universal identity that cannot be swayed by popular trends in politics or news cycles.

Everyday people are becoming more and more aware that what the government is saying, and the news is reporting, is out of correspondence to reality. As a candidate for US Representative I ask you, "Is Oregon better off than ten, twenty, thirty years ago? Are you and your family?"

I am an advocate and defender of the Constitution, its Preamble, its 7 Articles and all of its 27 amendments. I am an adopted person who is pro life. I see a great opportunity in front of Oregon in 2024. Returning to policies that have worked in our nation's history will serve us well. Here's what I propose, let's apply some common SENS, Simple Economic National Solutions.

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?

Reinstate Glass-Steagall Banking: Depression era law that protected your bank deposits and pensions 1933–1999. This legislation essentially creates a firewall that separates commercial deposits and pension assets from speculation investment and derivatives trading,Hospital Survey and Construction Act 1946: US healthcare policy, 4.5 hospital beds per 1000 population based on census data. Let's end the 1973–2024 era of Affordable Care Act and the HMO dominated profit oriented system. Let's put the care back into healthcare.No more money for war, Medical Autonomy, Campaign Finance Reform, Real investment into advanced technologies and energy intensive industries, No Green New Deal, No Cap and Trade, Apprenticeship Programs, Vocational Skills Development and School-To-Work Programs, True Forest Management.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Education Reform in Oregon

We must reevaluate our commitment to future generations by upgrading the curriculum in our public schools. The curriculum in our public schools should be a reflection of who we are as human beings. Inherent in all of us is the creative and cognitive capability to discover universal physical principles and increase our power over and in the universe.

The current trend in education and curriculum reflects the decline of western civilization and manifests itself in Critical Race Theory, gender studies and green ideology. These views and course changes are not voted on by parent teacher associations at school boards, they are selected through an arbitrary process that is shielded from the consent of the governed.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

With eight consecutive runs as a candidate for President of the United States I say this with no equivocation.

Lyndon Larouche was the greatest political leader in my life. He passed away February 12th 2019 on Abraham Lincoln's birthday.

He lived a sublime life and to shuffle of his mortal coil on Lincoln's birthday, was a fitting conclusion to his mortal existence.

It's been my experience that there are few people that really answer a question like this from the perspective of fifty years after they have passed on.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The Declaration of Independence, the Preamble of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights define American Identity and clearly state the only moral purpose for government is to protect those rights.

Where we sit today represents a wide and unnecessary departure from these basic principles and foundational documents.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Accessibility, transparency and an unwavering support for due process and the law. If we claim to be a nation of laws then no one is above the law, no one is below the law and we are going to enforce the law if we are going to have law and order. Being able to afford and trust an attorney however, is a completely different subject.

Being able to relate all things to all people is always an asset in public relations, diplomacy, statecraft and proper representation in our Republic, to which our flag stands. I am the change you seek in the world of politics and a representative of the people.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

A wide range of socio-economic settings across several states in the past three decades

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

An essential core responsibility for someone elected to this office is their knowledge of the United States Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

In addition to the knowledge listed above transparency, candor, availability and accessibility of the elected official to the electorate would be of great benefit to the electorate as well.

What legacy would you like to leave?

That the impact, efforts and influence of my mortal life remains long after I am gone.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

The Vietnam War. The Stettler household took in a family of six. I was7-8 years old. Before that,

Air raid siren testing in Los Angeles. My mom would just play the orgon as my sister and I cried and screamed terrified from the noise of those sirens. We would hold on to her legs under the organ bench until the sirens stopped. I was 4 years old at the time.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Working with my Parents cleaning the family laundromats. We would do this, as a family unit before school when I was ages 8-10.

Paper routes for the Orange County Daily Pilot and

The Orange County Register in Huntington Beach, CA

Ages 10-16

What is your favorite book? Why?

Vulture Fund. Though it was fiction it opened the door to all the illegal activities actually occurring on Wall Street and in our government.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Road Runner

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

"Didn't I Do Well" from Sony Music Entertainment and the 20th Century Fox Film Studios Modern Motion Picture, "Red Sparrow".

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Paperwork. One must stay on top of it or it will stay on top of you.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

The Power of Impeachment of a United States President.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

I believe it is beneficial for anybody running for public office to have previous experience WITH government and or IN politics.

Again, unfortunately, a majority of those who have been IN government and or politics have failed to uphold Constitutional intentions stated in the Preamble of our Constitution. Those clearly stated Constitutional Justice, Ensure domestic tranquility, Provide for the common defense, Promote the general welfare and therefore have FAILED to secure the blessings of Liberty for We The People and Their posterity.

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Educating the electorate on what the United States is and what its intrests are.

The identity crisis in our Nation is of immediate and pressing importance and must be a major focus to flatten the learning curve quickly.

Electronic voting and software tabulation of vote counts from precincts in counties to statewide totals have been subjected to a wide and unnecessary process of electronic high speed data transmission and computer software algorithms that potentially compromise the integrity of elections from local school boards to President of the United States.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

I do.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

12 years as a US Representative and 12 years as US Senator would be a good step in the right direction.

That requires an honest approach from Congress, and that level of honesty has yet to show itself in modern times.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

NO

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Yeah there are many but if we are going to tell stories, let it be from a President of the United States.

After the Revolutionary war Ethan Allen traveled back to England to establish commerce and trade with our British Brethren. Honest Abe loved telling this story. Upon a visit with the House of Lords, the Lords were barely tolerant of the roughnecked Americans and their new found wealth and nation.

It was an extended stay so the Lords knew at some point Ethan Allen would need to use the outhouse. So, the Lords hung a portrait of George Washington in the outhouse for joke and to demonstrate their bare bones tolerance and yet contempt for the Americans.

So upon the need to use the outhouse, Ethan Allen made use of the facilities and thought it a bit peculiar that the brits had a painting of George Washington in the outhouse.

He finished his business and rejoined the Lords in their soiree of good cheer. The Lords could not help but ask if Ethan Allen had seen the picture. He said he had seen the picture and commented it was hung where it could do good service.

The Lords were baffled by Ethan not saying anything negative about it and proclaimed with contempt and their strong british accents, "Good service? A portrait of George Washington in a water closet?" and Ethan Allen answered.

"Yes, good service indeed. The whole world knows that nothing will make an Englishman shit quicker than the sight of George Washington."

Tell us your favorite joke.

Most of the jokes I remember are inappropriate for this forum but I will throw a soft ball and then an amended fast ball as my favorites.

1) Soft ball;

A horse walks into the bar and says, "give me a beer."

Bartender says, "hey, what's with the long face?"

2) Amended political fast ball

Old lady calls 911.

911 operater: 911 what is your emergency?

Old lady: There is a man on porch and he is exposing himself. I think he is a Republican.

911 operator: Mam, why would you think he is a Republican?

Old lady: Oh dear, because if he was a Democrat he has already ignored me.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Not if the compromise is in regard to the US Constitution.

In general, the benefit of, and consideration for, others involved in policy making and shaping is the art of statecraft and diplomacy.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

I believe my role would be no different than that of the other 434 representatives in the House. I would participate in votes in favor or against appropriation bills. As a US Navy Veteran, no more money for war is a campaign mandate I have for myself and I would take that to the US House of Representatives

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

In anyway the need arises while upholding individual rights, immunities and privileges.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

None, I filed my FEC paperwork today.

What committees interest you?

Rules, Ways and Means

Energy

Armed services

Veteran Affairs

Interior

Agriculture

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Financial transparency and government accountability are in the law. The architecture of the law that has jurisdiction in our election process and is suppose to be a zero trust system to protect the right to suffrage and goes back to the Constitution.

Supreme Court cases from way back, the Voting Rights Act, VRA of 1965, National Voting Rights Act, NVRA of 1993, Help America Vote Act, HAVA of 2002 and FISMA, Federal Information Systems Modernization Act are all bodies of law to relieve the government of having to trust them.

The problem is the law is not being enforced. My campaign is already involved with several law suits to enforce the law and demand that authorities having jurisdiction will simply do their job.

Campaign website

Stettler’s campaign website stated the following:

Issues I am focused on:

Investigate all previous election anamolies. Make much needed changes to ensure election validity going forward.

Paper Ballots. People count the Votes. No More Machines

America first means Oregon first

Abolish the Federal Reserve and return to a sound money policy with treasury backed credit and new physical currency, not worthless paper.

Restore the 1933-1999 Glass Steagall Act. The comingling of commercial and investment banking is too risky for America and the world.

Terminate the failed policies of big pharma and big medical. Get back to consumer funded family doctors on main street not profits for Wall St. Let's put real care, (Capital Asset Realignment Enhancement) back into Healthcare.

Campaign finance reform. Get big money out of our elections. Level the playing field and make it easier for any US Citizen to run for office.

Power & Energy

Wind and Solar are Technologies that have limited benefit and cannot supply the entire demand for reliable baseload power. A better direction is SMR (small modular reactor) technology.

Apprenticeships

Joint consultation, partnerships, raising living standards and wages, while creating priceless skills for our youth, freeing them from massive student loan debt.

Network Infrastructure

Americans deserve the best for their hard earned $$. 5G Technology is potentially dangerous and a better direction is Fiber to the Home, with a second nationwide network, dedicated to secure comms.

Education

Put an end to CRT. We The People should demand our children are taught a classical education. All other specialized cultural issues are better taught in the home, not standardized and forced upon everyone.

Healthcare

The Era of Big HMO's and their excessive, bloated and wasteful administration must come to an end. American Taxpayers do not have bottomless pockets and are not walking wallets.

Agriculture & Farming

Assist small farmers who need new equipment. Restore local ownership to farmlands, encourage local sustainability, and fresh organic local products for our communities.

Construction & Building

Eliminate regulatory overreach of big government that stifles family run construction businesses in Oregon. America First Policies will create a demand for these skill sets and companies.

Forestry

We The People own the Forests. Not the Federal Government.

Big Tech Censorship

Free speech as guaranteed by our Constitution must also apply to social media, let the end user decide what is Truth. The big tech nanny state must end.

My Policy Platform

Reinstate Glass-Steagall Banking

The reinstatement of Glass - Steagall is the essential and immediate first step to rescue the US and global economy from the catastrophes of hyperinflation.

A bill from 2013 would have done this and was a part of both Republican and Democratic National Platforms in 2016. H.R. 129, was expected to rapidly gain overwhelming support. Unfortunately that support never arrived..

New Bretton Woods Policy

"Globalization" has collided with reality. Either we reverse the process of "globalization," and return immediately to international economic relations premised upon the sovereign nation-state as the highest authority, or there will be no recovery from the present process of disintegration of the international financial and monetary system..

Federal Reserve Act

Repeal the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.

The time has come to put the Federal Reserve Bank into a long-overdue bankruptcy and to reestablish the National Bank of the United States, based on the principles established by Alexander Hamilton, our first Treasury Secretary of the United States, revived by Abraham Lincoln, one our greatest Presidents and rediscovered by Lyndon LaRouche, an eight time candidate for POTUS, 1976-2004.

The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve, its Wall Street owners, and its fellow central bankers, and the corporations that grow up around them, have metastasized to the point that the real physical economy, and the people it supports, will not survive unless the central banking system itself is ended and our national economic sovereignty is restored..

Two Steaks a Day

Coming out of the depression, the President of the United States suggested a chicken in every pot. The more beneficial modern day equivalent in Oregon adjusted for inflation, is two steaks a day. The jobs and infrastructure needed to create a chicken in every pot, are pale in comparison to what our economy would look like if we took it up a notch and made the beef industry stronger.

Healthcare For Oregon

The OHA has squandered any credibility it may have garnered prior to the last few years and during the presence of COVID 19. The imposition of mandates for masks and testing to receive medical care, the closing and opening of schools, the denial of employment through vaccination requirements has given rise to a level of contempt for government authority not seen in my experience or known in my lifetime. Rule by decree from the office of the Oregon Governor and the OHA has people overflowing with disgust, outrage and contempt.

Standards for care have long been established in United States history. These standards were rejected during the Nixon administration and their rejection continued during the Ford administration. The era of Health Maintenance Organizations was ushered in. A rush for profit was sold to the American People through jingoisms and free market justifications of efficiency and lower costs. Insurance companies and their CEO's have enriched themselves while average people in need of care have been affoarded less consideration than their need for care has warranted.

The Hospital Survey and Construction Act of 1946, also known as Hill-Burton Healthcare deployed knowledge gained from WWII regarding needs of a population for medical care and their ability to access that medical care. Appropriations for healthcare were based on population per county, per capita, per square mile using US Census data and other population and demographic data sets.

Get the insurance companies and their lobbyist accountants out of the room and allow medical professionals to develop another approach for the 21st century. An approach based on successful policy and principled application will render a better quality of medical care for our US citizens and those in life threatening trauma who are not. Harnessing knowledge and experience attained from the past, to avoid making similar mistakes in the future, will end the era of the Affordable Care Act and HMO's definitively.

Telecommunications Bill 1996

Created to allow more players in the industry, this bill has failed because all of the disparate players across the industry have mostly been bought out by large telco monopolies. We need a real simple telecomm bill that not only brings competition to the market at the state level, but that also respects the first amendment across all platforms while ensuring our 4th amendment rights are upheld. No longer will cyber millipedes wormholing through your data be tolerated.

Treaty of Westphalia

Europe had been destroying itself and everyone in it for over one hundred years. British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s speech in Chicago in 1999, in which he declared that the era of the Treaty of Westphalia was over, opened a period of unceasing wars by major powers on smaller nations. The principles of the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia are needed now more than ever.

The Treaty of Westphalia says explicitly, that it abolishes all competition, pretensions, and advantages over others, and “forgives the sins of the past by leaving all wrongs that have been committed to perpetual Oblivion.” Such is the beauty of power when it is proportional with reason, and such was the commitment of France in 1648, with the Peace of Westphalia..

Oregon Water Policy

Creating policy that uses what we have and putting it to good use, rather than letting it run straight to the ocean. The same number of fish can exist in a cascade of managed large waterways as can exist in 200 miles of river.

Education Reform in Oregon

We must reevaluate our commitment to future generations by upgrading the curriculum in our public schools. The curriculum in our public schools should be a reflection of who we are as human beings. Inherent in all of us is the creative and cognitive capability to discover universal physical principles and increase our power as one human race living on our planet and respecting each other as equals in this thing we call "Life on Earth."

The current trend in education and curriculum reflects the decline of western civilization and manifests itself in Critical Race Theory, gender studies and green ideology. These views and course changes are not voted on by parent teacher associations at school boards, they are selected through an arbitrary process that is shielded from the consent of the governed. These policy decisions on curriculum are devoid of scientific method. Evidence to support alternative views are shamed by virtue signaling and discounted by two minute tickers in quorum.[3]
