What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Research and development. Building and repairing our infrastructure and taxing the very wealthy like we did before the days that Reagan taught us to hate our government.

Being a citizen is the only qualification that I need. Congress would be better served if it had more ordinary citizens serving in it, instead of a bunch of career politicians and lawyers.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I entered this race to fight for your children’s future, the same kind of future that the Greatest Generation provided to my generation. You do not do that by tearing everything they did apart. My campaign is a one-man band. I maintain my own websites, I use my own funds, and I make my own flyers. I will be refusing ALL donations. If I elected to Congress the only people I will owe are the voters.
