I am a Christian, care giver, wife, retired math teacher, and property owner. 58 years of life has taught me that God knows what is best if I follow His lead. I became a tax payer and Republican at the age of 13. In 2021 tyranny came to our door in the form of an ordnance over our squash trellis. Who else will become a victim at the whim of our government? I could not stand by on the sidelines any longer. The human mind is our most important natural resource. Minds working together have solved countless problems. Minds don't have color or gender. Teaching in the public school system showed me: I could get along with people from all walks of life, brilliance comes in all forms, NO ONE should be ignored, EVERYONE CAN CONTRIBUTE and big bureaucracy is wasteful. Bad people don't care what the laws say. They will find a way to accomplish their nefarious goals. Therefore, we must protect ourselves and those more vulnerable. Our forefathers knew that good people can keep bad people in line given the right tools including guns, if necessary. As our country was being colonized socialism failed here and people died because everyone was waiting on someone else to tend to the work and garden. In 1608 John Smith saved our country by enforcing the rule "He who will not work shall not eat." Americans are strong, intelligent, stubborn people who once knew that they had to work together to survive. This is how we became the greatest country in history and how we keep it.
  • Economy: Help boost our economy by implementing the Penny Plan spending reduction on our beracratic agencies and the FairTax to create a system that enhances economic activity without placing an unfair burden on anyone.
  • Education: The education of every person is important so that they can become contributing members of society. The work of a few cannot support the many. When parents and caregivers model and teach this to their children at home it enables teachers and administrators, who must also model and teach this, to make and FOLLOW rules and laws that support it. If people feel valued and self-reliant they will contribute positively and the chaos will stop. The ability to contribute relies on people knowing how to read, write, do math and reason. Race or sex are not factors. Nature does not accept or care about excuses. Not everyone should or wants to go to college. Technical trades should be reintroduced into the public high schools.
  • State Sovereignty: Just like each family, our state is unique. Our soil, wind, weather, environment, beginning and therefore people are unique. Because of this, we know what is best for us. We should be in control of our natural resources, farming, ownership of our land, documentation of all people living, born and unborn, in our state.
Studies show that everyone functions best with both a male and female role-model in the home. Our country has put policies in place which support the exact opposite. Men and women who have children together should be encouraged to live and stay together. No one has the energy for a child like its own parents. Parents should receive a higher tax credit which would allow one parent to stay home with the children while the other works.


I look up to my grandparents. They grew up on farms in Miltonvale, Kansas and both had an eighth grade education but a lot of practical knowledge and sense. My grandmother worked until she was well into her eighties. I look up to my mother who never met a stranger, was always kind and considerate. My daughter who is stubborn and smart for the right reasons and my husband who is always working to make things better for us even though it is physically painful for him.
Richard Nixon resigned August 8, 1974. I was 10 years old. I remember by family being very upset.
My first job was playing electric bass, singing and dancing on my step-father's dance band when I was 12 years old. The name of his band was The Floyd Red Rice Orchestra. After my father passed we changed the name to The Rice Dance Band. My family worked together as long as we could, for 42 years.
The governor determines the needs of the entire state. The legislature write laws to achieve these needs. In the process of writing the laws, each legislator looks at how the law will effect their district and tries to benefit it in some way.
Defending itself against communism rising from within and preventing the intended population decrease by certain factions in our country will be the two greatest challenges this country will face in the next decade. These challenges can only be achieved if the population at large is aware of them and has all hands on deck to fight back against them.
To solve problems and to expect people to follow laws, we must make laws that are reasonable and beneficial to people. To accomplish this we must listen and discuss with one another. We must try to see things from the other person's point of view.
