I have chosen to embark on this journey because of the ills affecting our great nation.  Politically, I believe, many of our elected officials have lost their sense of their responsibility to their constituents.  Economically, we need to move forward with innovation and determination to rise above anything pulling our nation backwards.  I have several ideas and beliefs that if implemented properly  can lead our nation into better times.  I, like many Americans, am very patriotic and hard working, I, like you, want the best for my family, neighbors and friends.  We can only achieve positive results if we eliminate the constant ego fight in Washington between political parties.  We all must unite under one party the "American " party.
