  • Reduce inflation
  • Improve defense
  • Save the environment
Save social security, minimize taxes, crime, government spending.
Jesus Christ, George Washington, Eleanor Roosevelt, Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, Mario Murillo, Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Alexander Hamilton...
The Bible, The Federalist Papers, The Constitution.
Honesty, transparency, communication, understanding, courage, fitness, awareness of law and the political processes.
Honest, transparent, courageous, thorough, easy to make friends, hard worker, familiar with political processes, willing to compromise.
Accurately represent constituents, stand for the right, be available, develop sufficient staff to handle problems.
Leave the office in much better condition than when I started. Balance the budget, reduce crime and inflation, improve energy sector, strengthen defense, enforce ethics, have a reputation that is admirable.
Election of Dwight Eisenhower. I was 9.
At 9, I was a bag boy at a supermarket and a paper boy.
The Bible. The recorded experiences of mankind and how those experiences shaped them and their world, for good or ill.
Superman. Or, Mr. Smith in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" - the movie.
Day By Day
Finding employee conditions that were good for the employee, not just the company. Honesty and fairness in business, helping all to thrive.
It is meant to give a more detailed and accurate representation of the will of the people. It provides more manpower to tackle complex issues.
No. Some of our best had little or no prior experience.
World peace, economic prosperity, crime, environmental preservation,, and corruption in government
Budget, armed services, ethics.
I support The Constitution, where the founders determined that term. It's good to have a frequent turnover of new ideas. It keeps our government fresh and alive.
Power can be,abused by some. It is in the hands of the people to elect or not elect, and an informed and educated citizenry can make a proper determination for the term of their representative. The founding fathers did not see fit to place a limit in The Constitution, and an amendment would be a long and difficult path.
No.
Frustration of voters that they are not well-represented, concerns for education, crime, homelessness, price of goods and services, etc.
Two seniors just had their 50th anniversary and they were lying in bed watching TV. She felt his hand feeling her side, then he felt up her side, across behind her neck. Then, as he was feeling down her other side, he stopped. She said "Why'd you stop?" He said "I found the remote."
Yes. It goes both ways
I believe we have enough taxes, and need to reduce spending and taxes.
