I am a retired Chemistry professor who grew up in Swarthmore, PA. I have lived in North Carolina since 2005 when I came to teach Chemistry at UNCP. I taught College Chemistry for over 30 years.
  • Small Federal Government, less regulation and lower taxes. Bring responsibility back to the 50 states.
  • Get the Federal Government out of Local Education, disband the Department of Education and all it's regulations, to return to state and local authorities.
  • Protect Innocent Human Life, from Conception until Natural Death. End Abortion for birth control purposes, and regulate it to spare as many lives as possible, end the castration and mutilation of children to fit a depraved eugenics ideology.
A TRUE LOOKING AFTER THE RIGHTS OF INNOCENT CHILDREN AND ADULTS. Protect innocent human life, from conception until natural death. Free from molestation, mistreatment and even others deciding their lives are not worth living. Partial birth abortion is a totally unnecessary gruesome medical procedure that needlessly ends the life of an almost-born baby boy or girl. We can end that, and advocate for at least the protection of innocent children from conception onwards. The states regulating those procedures with the desire to end eugenics or genocide with a “kind face”, of which Planned Barrenhood pushes on women who find themselves desperate. Likewise, the philosophy of ending the unwanted life has got to end, and that would include the protecting of children from mentally ill adults who want to cut off their body parts, and those elderly who have become too much trouble to live on under care. Only GOD has the right to choose our sex, and when we live or die!
Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior who loved me, gave His life for me, so that I could have new life in Him and a new family of my own that would serve Him.
Knowing God, by JI Packer. Knowing God and what He expects of us as people created in His image should dictate how we lead others, and legislate, regulate in ways that promote personal responsibility and reward honorable efforts.
Honor, Integrity, and solid biblical moral values, following the 10 commandments as best as one is able, and encouraging others to do likewise, and have the same values. By example first, not just words.
To legislate and repeal to benefit as many people as possible, and diminish the size of the federal government, to bring power back to the people at the local level.
That I adored my God, serving Him to the best of my ability, and adored my wife, the mother of our sons.
Paperboy for the Philadelphia Bulletin, from age 12 until 18.
Knowing God by JI Packer, helped me understand it is great to be a Christian, a Scientist and an intellectual.
Understanding God's place for me in the world, what He has wanted me to do over the years and with whom.
Writing and repealing legislation and deciding how tax money will be spent and with what priorities.
Sometimes, but in reality it is better for representatives to be experienced in the real world, in companies, as businessmen, factory workers, teachers, professors, and the military. We should all work to decrease the size and responsibility of the federal government, to defend our country and regulate interstate and international commerce.
To remain a Republic, with true representation of our Citizens, and the several states. And fulfilling the US Constitution as written with the Bill of Rights, so we all have real justice following the laws as written in the Congress and uniform enforcement of those laws by those who claim to follow our Constitution as office holders.
The way the US House is structured, where seniority and time of service dictates committee leadership, term limits are unreasonable. And it is set up in the US Constitution with none. For all practical purposes for someone like me, who is retired from my teaching career. 6 years, 3 two year terms is expected.
No. I have a unique set of talents I am bringing to the mix, at my age, trying to copy or emulate others without enough knowledge of them as people, and how they treat their families is a fool's errand.
Why did the chicken cross half the road? To lay it on the line......
Yes, to come to a consensus on legal issues, that follow our constitution, but no compromise on moral values, which use as a foundation the Judaeo-Christian ethic of our country as described in the Declaration ofIindependence and our US Constitution.
As one more person trying to make sure taxpayer money is used for the benefit of all, not special interest groups or favored companies.
Through their committees, and their responsibility for oversight, including audits.
