Why have you chosen to run for this office?
Because I respect our Constitution and love my Country. I believe we need to guard our borders, preserve our properties, safeguard our liberties, and defend our freedoms from all enemies without and within including a tyrany of our own government gone astray.

What distinguishes you most from your opponent?
My respect for our Constirution and my belief in individual responsibilities.

Key qualifications you would bring to the job:

·         An understanding of the struggles of real people in everyday life. 

·         An understanding of the economic results of excessive taxation and regulation and how it impairs production incentives.

·         55 years of hard work in real life (since age 10).

List your top three campaign issues and your stances on those issues

·         Seek energy independence with offshore and ANWR drilling plus further technology advancements.

·         The United States Internal Revenue Code is an abomination against humanity.  Scrap it first, then adopt a simple system to collect revenue necessary to operate government.  No piggly-wigglys.

·         Fix the inmigration/alien invasion fiasco.

What is your position on congressional earmarks?

It is theft. I was the first to sign a "no earmark pledge."

What measures should be taken to boost the sagging national economy?

Cut taxes and regulations.

When and how should the U.S. remove troops from Iraq?

As soon as we can leave with reasonable certainty that we will not have to return, we should proceed with expedetious drawdown.  Under no circumstances should we preannounce a leave date as such an announcement would create havoc and endanger lives (allied and other) unnecessarily.
