Why I am running.

I'm not a politician and have never been in politics before. But in the fall of 2008, I was reading a government report titled, "Financial Report of the United States Government". In this report, the government clearly states that unless major changes are made, the current federal spending will bankrupt this country. That was before the bailouts, the handouts, and the nearly $800 billion dollar Stimulus Package. Since that time, have we made major changes? Yes, but unfortunately those changes have taken us further in debt and serve to hasten America's financial troubles.

You see, I have two young sons. I'm doing this for them. Because, by the time they graduate from High School, their portion of the national debt is likely to be hundreds of thousands of dollars. On graduation day, when all kids are supposed to be looking forward to a bright future, what will theirs be? And what do I tell them?

Do I tell them that I saw this coming and did nothing? I wouldn't be able to live with myself. Although I've never held a political office before, I do feel an overwhelming sense of responsibility to my children and to all young and future Americans, to do what I can to take back this country!

Please join me in this fight to take back our country and ensure all our children inherit a strong America, not a bankrupt one.
