I'm a strong Republican and the best candidate for the 13th congressional district in Texas. I have fought long and hard for President Trump and defended him on several occasions and I have him on a Twitter account. I am pro-life and pro love. .I do not believe that abortion is Healthcare at all in fact an abortion is not healthy and I'm against funding clinics that do abortions. Life begins at conception and it is time that our laws reflect this truth. I have a master's degree in Science and Education and a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice. I have studied law and real estate and art and I have done public art as well.I have invented several products 15 plus products and more and I'm a songwriter and a books and hold several copyrights to these products and Books and Music. I have marched with the nun's to stop the war against the poor. And I have worked hard to stopped it unconstitutional surcharges that they used to have in Texas. And I love children. I care about the veterans and my father was a veteran and his Barracks was almost blown up while he was gone," everyone else lost their life. He went to the chaplain to see why my mother was not writing him and it saved his life. I understand how hard things can be I have had struggles in my own life and I know that the cost of medication and Healthcare is often a big challenge. When I lived in Japan I saw the casualties of war. I have a lot of understanding and I'm the best person for the 13th congressional district.
- I want to make America great again and I want to reduce your taxes that they are wasting in Washington like water many of the bills were not even read and they got past this December and well the American people paid.
- I want us to stop funding to the list things like the Afghan more that's gone on for more than 20 years and cost us trillions and trillions of dollars and tons of life I believe in trade Wars rather than blood Wars and I am pro-life and pro love and want to protect women from abortion it is a very horrible thing and against the child but not only against the child but against a woman as well this is not about your body this is about clinics using you for profit and profiting off somebody else's hardship. But when in doubt the best answer is to choose love.
- I understand the needs of this community I know that the roads need to be fixed and that jobs need to be brought to the small towns and new Innovations needs to happen as well. I believe that the library's need to be funded & other projects could be brought to these communities, that eould help the communities to thrive. I also don't want to take away your guns. I want you to have your guns because when our guns are all gone in America we will look pretty much like Venezuela, once a thriving place & now the people are eating dogs and selling their bodies for a piece of bread, and starving. I don't want this for America and I want the Second Amendment protected, because it protects you.
I'm very passionate about pro-life and also about the Second Amendment and the constitution in general I want Fair laws and equal access to the courts by all people. I want integrity and honesty and transparency in government. I want the swamp drained and the people that are corrupt to lose their office and I want them to stop wasting your money like water. This money that is wasted could be brought back to our communities and would help our communities to thrive. I want to put America and Americans first., with no exception I want Americans to come first. I want us to rebuild America and to stop sending trillions of dollars for other countries so that these women can have abortions and stuff like this. I want to get out of the Afghan war because it has cost us trillions and gone on for 20 years think of the money that is gone over this one. We no longer have an interest in Afghanistan & yet we are funding it like nobody's business and we have done this for 20 + years. I want people in Congress who are going to read the bills instead of just passing them. And I want somebody to fight for you even if they have to stand alone. And I am this person. I'm the best person for the 13th congressional District in Texas. I have met every candidate and I am the best. I care about our farmers and our Rancher Center Dairy man because I was a farmer & I raise chickens. I'm against the blue laws in Virginia. I don't want these to spread like well fires and especially into Texas.
I don't really look up to any human but I do look up to God and to the great inspiration that mankind has brought to the world. I look up to God who has had extreme mercy upon us and who has taught us the way when we did not know which way to go. I admire people who are honest and who have integrity. And disrespect people who have sold Americans out and misused their offices & mpositions in life to do Society wrong. I admire people who stand up for what is right, even if they have to stand alone. And I am thankful for the Constitution which has protected us and I pray that it will always protect us and never fail from people trying to destroy it. I'm thankful for the farmers and the ranchers who have fed me all of my life and for others that produce food and other goods for us. I am lthankful for the compassion and love that I have been shown in my lifetime, and I'm thankful for the lessons that I have learnt.
It seems that everything I have been through has been to prepare me for this time when I would seek the office of Congress. And life has been my greatest teacher. My Journeys have taken me on an adventure to learn how to be the best candidate and the best person for the 13th congressional district in Texas. I am experienced I have great understanding of what the position holds and what is needed to do the best job for the people in this District. I am an honest person and I will fight hard for this District & for the American people in general. I want to put the American people first & I took out a loan and spent my last penny to protect these people and to run for office. Nobody would do this that did not care about these people, they would spend their cash someplace else.
That means when you spend money for something your heart is in it and well I'm a part of this community even if I do live in Austin. I will move later should I get elected and I have family in the area and I am family. I like the book called the richest man in Babylon and I also like the author as well. I also like the book The Stand which shows you the different paths that someone can take and that one leads to good and that one does not. I also like the movie The Thorn Birds it was very beautiful. And I like many other movies songs and books as well.
Honesty is very important. A will to understand and reflect upon things and to study things is also very important and a person should always study bills and laws and Etc before voting on them. And we must ensure that remember to use money wisely inappropriately and remember whose money it really is, and we all know it's the American people but Congress has forgotten this. The Mueller report was a waste of money 40 million dollars was not worth the paper that it was written on and it was sad that they took advantage of the American people. No one went to jail over the Mueller report and it was a waste of money and the Democrats should have to pay back the money that is connected with the hoax and the Russia incident or allegations and the fake dossier. It is very sad that the American people always have to fit the bill for bullcrap. We need people that have integrity and that will keep their promises and keep their word in office. And I promise you that I will, and I am the best candidate for the 13th congressional district. I am strong and I have integrity and I am willing to fight hard for the people and for Americans in general. And I want to put you first with no exceptions.
I'm able to Think Through projects from start to finish and you make the best decision about ideals and products and I am an honest person and I have the communities best interest at heart and will invest wisely in them and for them. And when I make a law I will think is this for the American people and do they have an interest in this and I will protect them and do the right thing.
The ability to determine what good policy is and to determine what the policy ought to cost rather than funding stuff that isn't worth funding and the ability to understand value and what is not valuable and to understand laws and how it will affect the nation and the people and history.
That I was a wonderful congresswoman and a good person and a good mother and a good grandmother and a great woman and that I stood up for causes and that fought hard for the people, and put the People First.
When I was 4 years old I was severely burned and survived it and was giving a Smokey the bear who I treasured for years and years and years. To help me with my sufferings I sang and wrote stories and in a very good writer. I saw War in Japan and I remember them asking people to donate blood and then promising if they would they would give them meals and excetera and I understand the importance of the military and veterans because I saw them with their body parts at the age of 5 and their parts were in bowls and Etc and I heard their sufferings. I have extreme understanding because I have seen everything and I know about so much and I understand how to problem-solve and I am an excellent thinker. I know how to make Fair laws because I'm a very fair person and I'm the best person for the 13th congressional district for sure. I have also fought in the courts against unfairness, and to protect the Constitution. I believe in community and I have worked for the Salvation Army and the Red Cross and for other organizations. So I'm familiar with helping other people and with the needs of the people and different groups. I am able to get along with all people and I have mini skills to offer. I believe in new Innovations and in funding good things. And I have been an inventor and I'm extremely creative and that really does help when you're trying to make good policies in Congress. I would never pass the bill that I did not read and well that's what's been going on and the people of America have been being ripped off because of it and it's a shame. I don't want to waste your money like water I want to protect you. I don't want to take away your guns I want to protect you. I think that we should protect the Second Amendment because it protects you. I am four Americans and I want America to be protected first. The question is whenever you vote on anyting will this help America and does America have an interest in it. I want to rebuild America & to put our families & you 1st.
My first job at a pizza place and I also did for me and raise chickens. Then when I was in high school I worked for Motorola and slept probably 4 hours a night I did this for over a year after that I worked for a bakery for approximately nine years then I went to college and I worked for attitudinal Healing Centers and MHMR. In California I taught school or was a helper in the school and made butter and science games and etcetera I also created songs and books and excetera and learning tools. Later I invented several products 15 + which is a great thing because it helps you take something from the beginning and finish it to the end and this is a great skill to have in Congress. I have a master's degree and a criminal justice degree and have studied law and real estate and art and I have done art as well and there's public art in the city of Austin on Little Texas Lane and Congress that is my heart. I also created a sign for the Google car that is driverless and have done many other works and I'm not sure for how long but my life has really touched on every area that a person would need in Congress. I have traveled all over the United States except for North Dakota and South Dakota and Alaska and I've seen and done so many things that I'm certainly qualified for the job of Congress. I have marched against abortion and poverty for people. And I've studied law and protected mothers and parents and children. I'm a grandmother and a mother and I in the best person for the job because I'm very insightful and I have experienced so much in my life that qualifies me unlike anyone else for this job. I understand War because I saw it. I understand farmers and ranchers and hard times because I've had them. I understand hard work because I've done it. I have a love for teachers & children because I worked with them. And I understand law because I've worked with law since the 90s. And I have fought hard for unconstitutional laws and unfair laws and would protect the Constitution.
The richest man in Babylon, and I like to stand and I like The Thorn Birds and I also like Titanic, and Anthony Hopkins and a few other good movies and movie stars.
I don't think I would want to be anybody else but myself. A person must come to the conclusion that they are the best that they can offer the world and well too many have decided others are better than them but in the end we are the gift to the world and we should make it a wonderful gift for sure.
I write songs all the time and while I love the songs on the radio and stuff and I like all types of music without exception I like my songs the best and I was thinking about a song so much for the American way. It's about a soldier. And it goes like this Jimmy was the only man that I had ever loved he said he'd become a soldier because he loved America, he said if I'm a soldier I can help to make us free but I don't think my Jimmy knew just what the cost would be. No, I don't believe that my Jimmy knew he'd be given up all he ever knew so much for the American way ....so much for the American way. @
I don't really think of Life as a struggle I think of it as a learning technique. There have been times when I felt like I was struggling but it was for my benefit to teach me the way and to bless me, and I would think and hope that this is for everyone as well. Life is a lesson and preservation and it teaches us and bless us even when we least know of the future that will be, it is forming away for us and giving us strength and encouragement along the way.
The policies that Congress possesses is that it can make laws but I want to make good laws. It also is supposed to fairly decide on how to spend the money and yet Congress has not done this in a responsible way. They fund stuff that shouldn't be funded at all and they sign bills that have not even been read.. but if a person goes to Congress and they do it right, and they truly represent their constituents and their districts and the American people and they are an asset and a blessing to their community and to America, and this is what I want to be I want to be an asset for the 13th congressional district and for America and I want to protect the Constitution and protect the American people and the 13th congressional district first. It is a wonderful position to go to and to be in because you can affect the lives of the community and enhance them and give back to the communities that elected you. It is a wonderful job to get to decide laws that will protect Americans and to vote against Bad laws for the protection of citizens. And it is an honor to serve in Congress and to protect the citizens of the United States and its citizens in your District and to bring aspirations of prosperity and community and family back to our citizens and to give hope to all.
Well I have previous experience because I was criminal justice vice-president and I've been a leader so I guess it would be beneficial to have been some sort of leader and I have been. But I don't think that it's necessary I think a person that has a good heart and who is willing to do the right thing then who will stand and protect Americans and their constituents deserves the job. And I also do not think that any door is an open. And I believe that we can open any door and prosper and do well regardless of any situation. I also believe that in America there are no limitations and that we can aspire to the blessings of liberty, each and everyone of us no matter where we are in life. It is not where we have been it is where we're going to that really matters.
I believe that our deficit is a major issue, and that people trying to destroy America is another extreme issue, and that's Sahara law is creeping up on us and that this is a bad policy for America. And I believe that we need to start protecting America before we lose America. And that we need to start enforcing our laws against people that are trying to take our constitution away from us and that we should protect our constitution by any means necessary.
I also think that we should start to make Innovations because we are coming into the age of robots and this type of Technology and I believe that we need to innovate and sponsor and invest in inventions and things that helped Americans. I believe that we need to stop letting everybody come into our country and protect our country and stop wasting money every place in the world. We are creating a great deficit for our children and their children and this needs to be fixed and we need to stop wasting money like water and return this money to our communities and support our families and our schools and our teachers and our First Responders and our citizens and our veterans and take care of our family and our fellow American citizens before anyone and everyone. I think that we need to get out of Afghanistan we have been spending trillions of dollars and this is a major issue of those wanting to fund stuff that ridiculous. I see suffering in America because we do not have a standard of Education that we need to have in this country and that is a major issue and I also see that we need to train our people in technology and have training centers everywhere so that people can aspire to businesses + 2 support Community Endeavors in this area for the prosperity of our community and for our people in America. The major issues that I see for the future are people parading as politicians who do not love America and who want to overthrow our government and our way of life we must stop these people and Protect America.
I would like to be on the committee's for making laws and for deciding policy on what the money will be spent for. I'm a conservative spender and I don't want to waste money like water and I want to see the American people and my constituents in my district paying less taxes and getting many rewards and returns on the money that they are spending. I plan to protect the American people and my constituents and to be a thoughtful person when making laws and when spending money. I want to see the people in my district aspire and to do well and to be blessed and for their families to be protected and blessed as well. I want the community to be protected and given New Opportunities and Innovations and new jobs and I want America rebuilt and my district rebuilt and given more funds for the libraries and excetera in for community engagement. I want there to be maker squares and wood shops and things of this sort so that they can invent, and Inspire, and do new Innovations in farming and other ways that would help them to achieve better jobs and aspire to make businesses. I want the people in my district to be happy, and to have prosperity, and protection, and the blessings of liberty granted upon them. And well the people in my district they matter each and every one of them they all matter to me. the veterans matter to me and the military matter to me and the teachers matter to me and my First Responders matter to me and the fireman matter to me and the children matter to me and our Parks matter to me an hour Recreation matters to me and our jobs matter to me and our citizens of our community they all matter to me, and we'll America Matters to me as well, and I intend to protect all of this and more.
I am not currently a representative but I am the best person running for the 13th congressional district and I was endorsed by the president for very high position on Twitter.
I think that the term should be 4 years or 6 years it takes time to get things done in two years is really not enough time but two years is a start and things can be done in 2 years.
I think that they're possibly should be a term limit of 10 years. This keeps people honest and it also allows new people to get into office, rather than old people who have never done anything for our country but who seem to be funded and constantly re-elected. My guess is there maybe voter fraud but I'm not sure but I know one thing I'm voting against voter fraud and I want to protect our vote. I also think that they should impeach people who do not stand up for the Constitution and who waste of money and who do not represent the people and who are in fact against America and our people and those who put others before us. None of these people deserve to be in Congress and well if it was up to me I would send them all home unless they did the job well.
I would love to be a leader in Congress and I would love to work on laws and funding issues and on defunding things that are a waste of the taxpayers money.
Not really but I did like Ronald Reagan a lot, and supposedly I'm related to Jimmy Carter but I don't know and will on my father's side supposedly I'm related to White D Eisenhower. And well I want to model myself as a person of high integrity and a great woman oh, that is for the people of the United States and for her District and for America.
I have so many stories myself that would bless so many people. But let's start with one man who was extremely poor and he went and he bought a old beat-up truck from a junk man and he was a homeless man and very poor. Later he went to buy the parts for this truck that he had bought and the man at the counter said no sir you don't have this truck there are only two of these made in the whole wide world. And now this man was down on his luck and have been homeless and sleeping under the bridge. But God would not see this for him because God had a plan. The man said oh no I assure you this is the truck and the parts that I need are these parts. And then the man said there are only two of these in the whole world one is in the possession of Saudi Arabia and a king there and the other one belongs to Elvis Presley and was bought by Priscilla Presley for Elvis and these are the only two that were ever made. And now the guy being extremely poor and barely having enough to eat went to the vehicle and open the glove compartment box and there it said to Elvis Presley Priscilla Presley and a Man became a millionaire that very day. Your past does not reflective future. And your poverty means nothing. It is determination and the grace of God that will find you in good favor and will bless you, and one day you may be homeless and the next day you weigh Be A Millionaire and this is the story of the man and the truck. Life is not about Misery and sadness but life is about great joy and prosperity and happiness and when your heart is full of goodness these things you will surely find. Always do your very best because that's what Integrity is. And in all things try to master each and every stage oh, so that you will be a master of it all or at least feel like you have completed the task.
