| Collapse all
At 24 years of age standing in Kuwait while I waited for movement to Iraq, I realized that politics was the primary means by which emergent leaders could sculpt a nation, right the wrongs of others, and ensure their freedoms were both protected and expanded. Acting upon the advice of my wife, I sought out a political advisor and by 27 had built a political aspirations plan of action. For the next several decades I quietly worked, completing the various tasks established during that transformative meeting held years earlier. Finally, at 40 years of age I had completed the list and was able to discard the paper that had accompanied my travels and driven my actions for the previous 13 years.
Now, a father of five amazing children, the husband to a wife who has supported me since 1997, and Doctoral Candidate I am actively seeking political office.
- I will work to end the political doublespeak and logical fallacies that are bankrupting our society and draft proposals removing what many consider double standards currently benefiting those in political office.
- Together we must find the middle path. There are many highly emotional and unresolved disagreements about healthcare and constitutional rights negatively affecting Texas and our country. There should be full spectrum debate on our most pressing issues, or we will again experience the pendulum to swing to the next extreme. I will work to open these debates and allow public comment as they progress.
- Suppressing the talents and gifts of any individual or group to benefit others inevitably hurts the masses since they lose the productivity, creativity, and ingenuity of the suppressed person/s. A policy of absolute equality where people are respected based upon merit that is blind to race, religion, creed, gender, or sexual orientation must be proposed.
Putting and end to the doublespeak and logical fallacies being used to sow the seeds of division between family, friends, and neighbors will be my primary target. More than any other era, our state and country has experienced a slide towards totalitarianism as politicians and corporate moguls gaslight and divide our population while removing freedoms. Blatant lies uncovered by investigative journalists are dismissed for those in office while ordinary citizens are charged for lessor offenses. These double standards have become the norm rather than the exception, I will end this. With my election a new era of accountability will begin, an era where the people who form this great nation are once again at the helm.
