THREE QUESTIONS

1. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE CONSTITUTION PARTY TO RUN FOR CONGRESS?

I chose the Constitution Party because it is the only political party which represents my commitment to the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as well as my religious convictions, the institution of the family and the sanctity of life.

The goal of the Constitution Party is to restore the American Republic to its founding principles and to limit the federal government to its Constitutional boundaries.  The federal government was clearly established as a government of limited authority.  The tenth Amendment makes that abundantly clear.

What is also clear is that over time, the limitations of federal government power imposed by the constitution have been substantially eroded.  Democrats and Republicans have had a century and a half to restore the balance of authority between the federal government and the States as provided in the Constitution.  Neither party seems to want to get the job done.  I believe, for good reason; they ultimately have the same agenda

Many people these days are awakening to the fact that there is no appreciable difference in Washington between the Democrats and the Republicans.  Both parties seem to want the same thing ñ more socialism.  What appears to be argument and debate over differing points of view is merely a discussion over the details about how much socialism they are going to push on us with any given piece of legislation.

Whether Democrats or Republicans are in power, three things happen:

• There is a transfer of our national sovereignty (self-rule) into the hands of international organizations like the UNITED NATIONS, the WORLD TRADE ORGANIZTION, and NAFTA and CAFTA, which results in removal of decision-making powers from the people through their elected representatives.
• They continually increase the size and power of the Federal Government, along with our taxes and national debt, creating more and more inflation robbing Americans of even more of their hard earned money.
• With the expansion of federal powers and controls and an ever increasing tax burden, Americans lose more and more of their personal freedoms and independence.

The only solution to the preceding problems, brought on by Republicans and Democrats, is to enforce the Constitution.  Obviously, that's not going to happen with either of the two big parties.  However, the Constitution Party Platform is solely dedicated to this objective.  That's why I am running as a Constitution Party candidate.

2. WHY SHOULD ANYONE VOTE FOR YOU?

In this election, voters will have a choice between two false alternatives -- socialist party A and socialist party B -- and get the same old "business-as-usual" results.  Or, they can vote for a clear choice of distinction and get different results.

I am not a career politician.  I work for a living.  I am not tied to any special interest groups.  I am not beholden to any party bosses.  I have no hidden agenda.

Career politicians have led us down a path of destruction.  We have no freedoms left, only government privileges.  That's a grave concern to me.  I care passionately about our country and want to keep it from falling on the ash heap of history.

Anyone who believes that America should be a Constitutional Republic that's run democratically through elected representatives, and not a democracy, should vote for me because I will actually honor my sworn oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

3. WHAT CAN YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH WITH NO PRIOR GOVERNMENT EXPERIENCE?

Career politicians have years and lifetimes of experience and look where that has taken America.  We can't afford anymore experience!  I don't believe experience is as important as one's desire to help save his country from becoming a totalitarian police state.

I am not a scholar, but I do have a working knowledge of the Constitution.  And, unlike most politicians, I have actually read it.

How much experience does it take to look at a giant pork barrel spending bill and say to one's colleagues, "Sorry ladies and gentlemen, there is nothing in Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution that gives us any authority to pass such a bill."?

If elected, I would be one man with little influence to begin with.  However, there is a small contingency of like-minded House members with whom I would join forces and work methodically to restore to the States and to the people their rightful control over legislative, judicial, executive, and regulatory functions which are not constitutionally delegated to the federal government.

If America is going to survive, a change in the way business is done in Washington has to begin right now, and it might as well begin with me!

I am calling on all concerned Americans to change their voting habits in order to break the "spin-cycle."  It's time we break the tired and worn tradition of wasting votes on Republicans and Democrats who will continue to do business as usual.
