Expand all | Collapse all

I am an American, a Kentuckian, and a Republican. I am an ordinary man wanting to contribute to cleaning up the mess made by career politicians. Terms limits will help greatly in that regard. The Convention of the States is a way to bring that about.
  • Return Politics to the People with Term Limits. I will work to represent the ordinary peoples voice. No more special interests!
  • Economic focus on limited growth by introducing new ideas and developing new partnerships.
  • Take a strong principled Republican stand. To loudly say no to the growing left influence in both government and society.
Resisting the growing left influence. To say NO to any further division of the population. To say NO to the idea that gender is anything other than God's determination as evidenced by our chromosomes, It has always had been, it always will be. To insure parents determine, not guide, but determine their children's path in education both institutionally and what cirriculum they are taught.

To encourage a fuller and more robust life. I want to encourage entrepreneurial ship by introducing new ideas and supporting those. I want to encourage commercial creativity by developing new partnerships focusing on produced in Kentucky, consumed in Kentucky. I would like to work toward bringing about energy and food independence for Kentucky. Resources produced in Kentucky, processed in Kentucky and consumed in Kentucky.

I want to bring about needed drug reform in Kentucky. I want to work toward the banning of fentanyl and an overhaul of prescribing processes for controlled substances. I want to define and control what I call the "medical addiction pipeline". Any patient prescribed a controlled substance would be placed in that pipeline and expedited to the next confirmed step of treatment. A prescription would require a confirmed appointment to the next step of treatment and be of no more than a three day supply. I advocate for and will support the legalization of medical marijuana. They people have spoke quite loudly about this, and they should have it.
A lot of people, so I will have to answer in a top of fashion. My Mother as she was a real gem to behold. She was as full a spectrum a person you could ever meet. My Father was a Merchant Mariner with 26.5 years of sea time, so he was often gone. My Mother was as fierce a protector, provider and disciplinarian as any man could ever hope to be, while also being a loving nurturing and caring woman.
That I played a role in helping to take back our country.
The assassination of John. F. Kennedy. I was home from the 1st grade sick and saw it happen on TV. I lived in Texas at the time, and him coming to Dallas was a big deal. But really, when I think about it, my mother and father, especially my mother. She herself was an historical event. She was filled with and very expressive about her childhood living and growing up in pre WWII Germany.
The very first job I had was in the kitchen of a seafood restaurant washing dishes in Kemah, Texas. I was probably 12 or 13 I guess. I worked it through that summer and on and off after school and on weekends through the next school year. After that, I was self enterprising mostly through high school mowing lawns, lifeguarding, and teaching swim lessons as I could and doing misc. restaurant work during the winter.
Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo. It caused me to think a little differently. It is the only book I've read cover to cover in one sitting.
The Sound of Silence
Yes I do, but only in regard to the business at hand. Long term relationships can often carry the burden of favors and favors to be returned. Where someone has worked longer than a term or two building relationships to forward his interests, and those interests haven't been forwarded, I suggest its time to give someone else a shot.
No. I wish to serve one two year term as a State Representative only. While I firmly oppose the idea of career politicians, I do not have a problem with someone climbing the political ladder. Our country has gained much benefit from the achievement and reward process. It is when they get stalled out that it gets to be a problem.
Where it is necessary, it is desirable. Sometimes it is not necessary, and sometimes it it. People irrespective of our history who would rather recreate their own should never be compromised with. People who do not respect the fact that our country is based on Christian values and that those values still have meaning should not be compromised with. People whos positions do not have a rooting in reality, such as those who would advocate for recognition of a "gender neutral" status, should not be compromised with. I could go on, my point is that compromise should never occur where Christian, American, and Republican values are at stake.
