Collapse all
|- Congress for Idaho Law and safetly. Not Idaho Greed for Congress or professional carreer politicians feeding off of the people and the Federal Government like we have now. I fully support Term Limits, Universal Health care, and project student centered education
- Expansion of the RECA into "Radioativity Ingestion Cancer Compensation Act" to include the clean-up of all Idaho Radioactive Cities from Eastern and Southern Idaho cities to Boise. Beginning with the #1 Most Radioactive City in the World, Pocatello, ID (Government and public Data Supported).
- Working for Sustainability, Jos for clean-up of our Idaho environmental contamintion and the preservation of a loving future involving climate change issues.
Or maybe you were expecting me to rattle a string of clichés, like education, jobs, and taxes. As I stated above, I am a progressive eclectic and reconstructionist. I problem solve possessing a wide breadth of talents.
