What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Men are selfish and power hungry. The goal of the founding fathers was to limit the acquisition of power in any one branch or person.The House of Representatives was always meant to be the most powerful branch of Government, with the power of the purse and the power of impeachment, because it is supposed to be closest to the people by election every 2 years. It was never intended to be dominated by career politicians,special interests and lobbyists.

Additional comment from candidate:
The role of government in society is to insure that all people are treated fairly and equitably. It is improper for elected officials and government agencies to play favorites by picking winners and losers based on income, social status or worse, political contributions. The U. S. Government was created and designed to act as a referee to guarantee a fair and level playing field for individuals, families, businesses, and communities. It was never intended to take the field and compete directly with them. Citizen involvement in the political arena combined with proper management and accountability while handling the public trust and treasury is a requirement for a free and prosperous nation. The government should be focused on what it does best: provide defense and public safety, and creating and maintaining infrastructure. This is my mission
