***    Today I enjoy making people feel wonderful about themselves and the world around them. I believe in random acts of kindness that pass forward on to others.

***     I believe poems are calming to the Soul.
Here’s a Poem that Expresses – What Is Inevitable.      I Call This Poem:  

                       “Destiny”

WE ARE ALMOST OUTTA HERE,
I CAN NOT WAIT TO GO.
IT WON’T BE TOO MUCH LONGER NOW,
BUT TIME IS MOVING SLOW.
THE EARTH IS ALMOST READY,
TO BIRTH A BRAND NEW LIFE.
THE KIDS ARE ANXIOUS FOR THIS WORLD,
TO TAKE THEM OUT OF STRIFE.
IT’S HAPPENING,
DESPITE THE OLD GUARD’S,
SICK AND VI-LE MESS.
IT’S GONE,
GOODBYE INCUMBENTS,
TO ALL YOUR ICKY-NESS.
THE SCARCITY,
AND LONGING,
IS ALTOGETHER DONE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SAID IT WELL,
THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

Thank You

1.    1ST AMENDMENT:
To quote Philosopher Voltaire, “I may not like what you say, but I will defend to the death, your right to say it.”

I am a strong supporter of the 1st Amendment, and as your U.S. House Representative, this is my stand.

2.    2ND AMENDMENT:
On the heels of the 1st American Revolution the fore fathers of this great nation did not establish the 2nd amendment for hunting or sport; it was established specifically, against a tyrannical government that could possibly try to rise against the American people.

I believe strongly in the 2nd Amendment, and as your U.S. House Representative, I will never let special interest groups abrogate this right.

3.    A STRONG MILITARY:
My older brother was U.S. Navy and he once told me, “A nation IS its military, and a strong military means a strong nation”. It is imperative we fund our military to keep our Nation strong.  To quote President Trump,  ”Peace through Strength”.

I will strive to enact beneficial military legislation as your U.S. House Representative. And, as I will never forget my dear departed brother, I will never forget the veterans that served, or the troops who serve today, that keep us safe and free.

4.    HEALTH :
There are thousands of U.S. patents dealing with new innovative medical technologies and devices that are being withheld from the American people. President Trump insists legislation H.R. 878 the “Right to Try Act” of 2017 be enacted, that would allow terminally ill patients access to new innovative medical procedures and medicines that have not yet been approved by the FDA.

As your U.S. House Representative, I will bring great attention to this issue with the utmost priority.

5.    EDUCATION :
Educators throughout the country have had their hands tied. The Government foists strict, archaic curriculum upon teachers, restraining them from helping students achieve their highest potentials.

As your U.S. House Representative, I will seek to modernize the established curriculum and put education authority back into the hands of the parents and States. I will also advocate for more affordable charter and vocational schools to help young adults facilitate their futures.

6.    ENERGY :
President Trump’s “US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017” freed Alaskan oil drilling with ANWR, that has been closed to oil exploration since 1980. This interim phase is a beginning that will guarantee energy freedom to the U.S. for generations.

As your U.S. House Representative I will demand the release of new energy technologies to the American people, that have been withheld for too long.

7.    INFRASTRUCTURE:
I’ve seen amazing infrastructure projects on other continents. The U.S.’ transportation systems, bridges, dams, highways, etc… are dilapidated and have become almost equivalent to that of a third world nation. Our medical, manufacturing, financial, etc. . . infrastructures have also deteriorated, almost to the point of no return.

For decades bad deals have damaged the US infrastructures, and as your U.S. House Representative, bad deals will not be tolerated.

8.   FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY:
The US is over $20 trillion dollars in debt. Our congress somehow think outrageous tax dollar spending is their right. However, President Trump just recently declined a bid of $1 billion dollars to build the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, and estimates it can be built for $250 thousand dollars. President Trump also re-negotiated the price on new Air Force One planes, that congress wanted to spend billions more on, with taxpayer dollars.  And some state comptroller financial reports are questionable at best.

As your U.S. House Representative, I will demand full accountability to ensure tax dollars are not being squandered away.

9.    TERM LIMITS:
I believe the U.S. has been exploited . The degradation of the U.S. was purposefully employed by career politicians who sought only to benefit themselves. Term limits on congressional committees will block career politicians from seriously damaging the U.S. ever again.

As your U.S. House Representative, I will do everything in my power to see that term limits become law.
