| Collapse all
I’m an America-First, Christian Patriot, Annapolis Graduate & Marine Corps Officer Veteran. I'm a TRUE Conservative Republican.
My wife Tracy and I are small business owners, and we have seven kids and seven grandkids. We, the people of the United States, deserve a future of freedom and prosperity. But our government is on the wrong track. It’s time to take back America. I'm a TRUE Conservative Republican. I’m fighting for the God-given rights of the people across West Tennessee, and to put our government back to work for us. - Bob Hendry “Bob the RINO Hunter”
My Task List: Secure our God-given Rights Restore loyalty to our Constitution Secure our borders Restore our prosperity Secure our election integrity Secure our energy independence Restore parental authority to education End abortion on-demand Rebuild our national security Cut spending & balance the budget Strip benefits from illegal aliens Crush Narcotics trafficking Establish term limits Regain our individual freedoms Re-establish justice
- Career politicians on both sides of the aisle have failed us. It's time to take our country back by gaining true conservative control of the Republican Party, and restoring respect for Almighty God, and adherence to the Constitution.
- We must secure our borders, and allow no benefits for illegal aliens.
- Congress controls the purse strings. Our economy is in a shambles because Congress fails to reign-in spending. It's time to fix that.
We must secure our elections.
Abortion on-demand must end.
Our government exists to SECURE our God-given rights. The Constitution is the framework designed to limit our government to its most essential tasks. EVERY right articulated in the Constitution must be absolutely protected, period. The Bill of Rights require no further explanation, rather, they demand our government’s absolute obedience. Sadly, many of those rights have been eroded by the very government officials sworn to protect them; this must be absolutely reversed.
Term limits must be imposed on both houses of Congress.
We must restore warfighting excellence and lethality to our forces, firing all the woke leaders.
Our foreign policy reflects the weak leadership of the current administration, and our global enemies know it. This must be reversed.
We must not enter any war in which our national security is not directly threatened.
The world is on the brink of a predictable global famine. But our agricultural capacity is being systematically reduced, especially in West Tennessee. This must be reversed, and our most precious strategic asset - the ability to produce and store wholesome food - must be enhanced.
I remember the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated - I was three years old. But the impact of that day remains seared in my memory.
I remember the first American to step on the moon, the Civil Rights movement which collapsed with the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, the end of the Vietnam War.
I remember Nixon's impeachment, Carter's gas lines and the Americans held in Iran, and the fall of the Soviet Union during Reagan's presidency.
I was leading U.S. Marines in Korea when the South Korean cabinet was bombed during their visit to Burma, and two weeks later watched as my fellow Marines were pulled from the rubble of the Beirut bombing.
I remember the Space Shuttle Challenger and Discovery tragedies.
I was traveling the day our World Trade Center was attacked, and volunteered, and returned to active duty after 8 years out of uniform, to serve my country as we mounted a response.
I watched the debacle of the Obama presidency and the moral decline of our people.
I stood on the Supreme Court steps on November 14th, 2020, appealing to Congress to investigate the theft of our election.
I stood on the lawn in Washington, D.C. on January 6th, 2021, as Congress failed to uphold the full provisions of the Electoral Count Act of 1887, and our nation's highest office was handed over to a thief.
My first profession was as an Officer of United States Marine Corps infantry. I served from my graduation from the Naval Academy at Annapolis, in 1982, until 1994. After eight years "broken time," I returned to active service for nine months in 2023.
But there are internal and external threats to our nation's independence and freedom, and these must be opposed at all costs.
Wherever I am asked to serve, I will fight to uphold our rights under the Constitution and limit the roles of the Federal Government.
It is now time to establish term limits for the U.S. Congress of no more than three terms for the U.S. House of Representatives (a total of 6 years service,) and no more than two terms in the U.S. Senate (a total of 12 years service.)
