MY BELIEFS AT A GLANCE

I believe in, am a member of and support the Tea Party Patriot Movement!
I believe in, am a member of and support the values and principles of the 9/12 Project!
I believe in, and support the mission statement of OathKeepers!

I believe in the vision the founding fathers had for this great land.
I believe in the Judeo-Christian heritage and the rule of law that our Republic was based upon.
I believe that religion can not and should not be separated from the history of this country
           nor its government.
I believe that there was never intended to be any separation of religion from our government
           other than the intended exclusion of declaring a national religion. Our founders
           believed your freedoms allowed you to choose and follow any religion you liked,
           including not to follow any religion at all.  
I believe in ALL the words in the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the U-S
           Constitution...and believe every word still rings true.
I believe that our Constitution is NOT a living, breathing document and subject to the whims
           of a changing culture.           
I believe these documents to be sacred and to be protected at all costs.
I believe that any attempts to circumvent, alter or ignore the letter or intent of the Constitution
           is a violation of the oath of office and is punishable by impeachment and possible
           criminal action.
I believe that any judge who ignores Constitutional Law in his rulings and instead legislates
           his personal social agenda from the bench, should be impeached and removed from the
           bench.

I believe the biggest threat facing this country is two-fold.  First, its the debt problem
            and our financial solvency which jeopardizes our Republic's very existence.
            Second, our energy emergency- power plants running at capacity and a
            gerry-rigged power grid that can't handle any more, coupled with our
            dependence on foreign oil, which also jeopardizes our Republic's existence.

            Put another way, our financial lifeline and our way of life are in the hands
            of China, a communist country and potential future enemy of ours, while
            our dependence on foreign oil, and with it the on-off switch to our economic
            engine and military strength, is in the hands of our Middle Eastern and
            Venezuelan enemies.  Put more bluntly,  this is how our Congress honors its
            oath of office, over the past 50 years of inaction!
            Please see my detailed plan at solving these two National Security threats
            under the "Issues" tab.    It IS the cornerstone of my campaign.             

I believe that our economy and with it, JOBS, is directly tied to that above and that
            dealing with that above, will solve this equally most pressing and
            important issue.  For the first time ever- putting us on solid financial ground
            will free up our credit markets completely and exclusively for the private
            sector, and with the government no longer drinking from the same well, it will
            encourage businesses and companies to go forward with confidence, to
            grow and hire again.  By opening up exploration and tapping into old energy
            sources as well as new ones, building new nuclear power plants and rebuilding
            our power grid, it will open up endless jobs for the skilled as well the unskilled
            in a starving labor force.

I believe we need principled leaders, brave enough to admit that we are in a war against
            a people whose ideology of world domination and submission is a direct and real
            threat to our own way of life that believes in liberty and the freedom of all individuals.
I believe we need to remove the blinders of political correctness and see this threat for what it is.
I believe we should change our rules of engagement so that our armed forces can be allowed
            to prosecute war to a swift and decisively complete victory.
I believe that any nation which harbors our enemy and gives them comfort and safety should
            know the gravity of the consequences they bring upon themselves.

I believe Iran is interfering with Iraq and Afghanistan and is responsible for the deaths of
            American, coalition and NATO forces.
I believe Iran is responsible for and a supporter of the majority of terrorist activities in the world
            today with their proxy armies of Hezbollah and Hamas, that have sleeper cells not
            only all around the world, but here inside the U-S, and there is evidence that they
            are coming into our country using the Mexican border!
I believe Iran financially supports and provides military support to both Al-Queda and the Taliban
            and provides "safe harbor" for both.   ...and its for this reason...
I ABSOLUTELY believe that Iran should never acquire nuclear weapons and not only is a
            pre-emptive strike called for, but it should be done as soon as possible.
I believe the Iranian people have "signaled" numerous times that they want a change
            but they're just not strong enough to pull it off themselves, and not only
            want but deserve our assistance in getting the job done and allowing freedom to
            flourish, just as its doing in Iraq.       ...and again for these reasons...
I believe that we should not leave Iraq and Afghanistan until the issue with Iran is resolved.
            It would be sheer idiocy to remove our troops from Iran's western border, Iran's
            eastern border, as well as our naval force along Iran's southern border,
            which allows for the element of surprise to once again enter the military picture.
I believe finally, that it should be us that goes in to take out their nuclear facilities rather
            than Israel, since it would give us control over the time and place.

I believe we should be a country who says what it means and means what it says.
I believe in diplomacy ...with a clock attached to it.
I believe that deadlines are just that -deadlines, and they come with consequences.
I believe that any military action if called upon, should be swift, complete and decisive.
I believe that's called deterrence!

I believe that it's absurd for nearly half of the people in this country to be getting a free ride
            and not paying any taxes.  Everyone is benefiting from living in this free country
            with all its protections and freedoms so everyone should have skin in the game.
I believe in a flat tax.  Not a fair tax that can easily be manipulated and not a VAT tax that will
            cause the price of everything to skyrocket, placing undue burden on the elderly.
I believe in a flat 10% income tax for individuals, with the first $20,000 tax free for everyone.          I believe in a flat 15% income tax on net income for businesses. This is NOT an addition to
            the income tax, but rather a REPLACEMENT to the federal income tax along with
            other cumbersome federal taxes.

I believe we have a national security issue at our southern border, and that happens to be one
            of the few responsibilities our founding fathers gave our federal government as spelled
            out in our founding documents.
I believe the failure of controlling our borders and protecting our citizens is a violation of the
            oath of office for those government leaders responsible.
I believe that a physical border control fence needs to be constructed immediately before any
            other issues connected with this are addressed.
I believe that our border patrol should be backed up with armed national guardsmen with orders
            to stop any and all illegal entry, backing up the meaning of that fence!
I believe then, and only then, when the border is secure, that we deal with the illegal aliens
            already here.
I believe that because we are a nation of laws, that all illegal aliens should and must go back
            across the border.  There is no other choice in the matter.  Period.
I believe that businesses, companies and individuals who employ illegal aliens should and
            must be punished severely enough to act as a deterrent..
I believe that those illegal's who do not go back voluntarily, should be rounded up and fined
            or spend time in jail before being sent back across the border.
I believe that once all illegal's are back across the border, then and only then, should we
            talk of a new guest worker program, providing bio-metric picture IDs.

I believe that man-made global warming is an absolute scam of the highest magnitude,
            perpetrated against the people of the world, to scare the hell out of them so they
            agree to things they would never consider, otherwise.  It's an international effort
            to distribute the wealth, your wealth, into the pockets of special interests, politicians
            and private individuals, who are forcing us away from our Constitution and into a
            transnational form of centralized world government.

I believe that ethanol is another special interest scam and that its morally reprehensible to
            be removing more than 33% of the nation's corn crop from the world's food supply
            just to make a few people happy and pad the pockets of special interests.  It makes
            no dent in the demand for gasoline, and can only compete through heavy government
            subsidy.  The fact is that it is causing food products and meat to skyrocket affecting
            every family's food budget, the poor and the elderly worst of all.

I believe that the country's public school system problems are directly tied to this country's
            poverty problem and solving the one will go a long way toward solving the other.
            It's not about money or facilities.  The problem is more deeply rooted and we need
            to go back 60 years to when education WAS working, and revisit the major changes
            that were made back then, that was responsible for the train jumping the tracks.             I believe that our current educational system failures to be a National Security threat and should                be treated as such, since America's future rests in the hands of today's children.  

I believe there is a progressive movement underway in both political parties to bring this country
            into a European style of socialist government with a goal of a transnational world
            governance,  which would do away with our Constitution, and with it our individual
            sovereignty and the freedoms it gives us.  Recent actions by our government to
            take control over banking, wall street, insurance, auto industry, healthcare and higher
            education, while attempting to pass legislation on energy, cap and trade, restrictions  
            on radio/TV along with total control over the Internet is truly frightening.  The fact that it                 is all happening at light-speed, with no one actually reading the bills being passed is                    equally chilling.  Pay attention to these latest attempts at controlling radio/TV and
            the Internet as communication sources are always the first targets in any government
            takeover. Read your history.         

I believe in congressional term limits and retirement age restrictions.
I believe it would go a long way toward removing all the dead wood and age-induced
            incompetence.
I believe it should be a sacred honor to serve the people as their representative and NOT
            a place to gain undue power through longevity alone.
I believe 12 years total is enough time to get your message across and pass meaningful
            legislation, in any House/Senate combination thereof.
I believe there should be a mandatory retirement age for members of the Supreme Court.
            
            If anything on this website resonates with you, then I urge you
to support my candidacy, through donations, as a volunteer, or just through word of mouth
in your letters, e-mails, texting, or good old fashioned verbal conversations with your family
and friends.  You are living through an historic time in this country and the sand in the
hourglass is running out.
