They were all strong devout Christians, born-again and bible based in their behaviors, commitments, and political views.Ronald Reagan orchestrated the destruction of the Berlin Wall and I was at Potts Dammer Plaza when it came down! I was repainting my own mural of the "Travail of the Flag" over it's 20 years of graffiti , when a BBC News Anchor shoved a mic in my face, "Where was Jesus when the wall went up?" I hesitated, thoughtfully, then answered, "It doesn't matter where he was when it went up. He is the one bringing it down!" That soundbite and footage of what my paintbrushes had created, went to about 6 million viewers across Europe that night. It echoed the victory of President Reagan's stout edict, "Mr. Gorbachov, Tear down this wall!" And Phyllis Schlafly, was a friend. I spoke at her Eagle's Forum. Knew her from Council For National Policy. I admired her gutsy quick thinking at an historical RNC. She knew some wealthy abortion clinic doctors, Rhinos were there, about ready to swing the Republican party to pro-abortion vote! She instead, grabbed a friend who owned a facility next door and asked him to foot the bill for a diner for all that night.He did! And she entertained them while they ate with the gory details of the traumas of abortion! The next morning RNC vote swung Po-Life! Dr. Mildred Jefferson was my dear friend too. She turned Ronald Reagan into Pro-Life! And Dr. Jefferson was a very sweet, but fiercely committed believer in Jesus Christ and the ministry of His Holy Spirit.That is how she influenced Harvard and then Reagan. Discovering a back staircase at his hotel, during RNC, she knocked, and was invited in, thus proceeding to drill him on the sin and tragedy of abortion. In the wee hrs of the morning she had convinced him and some guests in his hotel room to go Pro Life! He did. And his sagging nomination turned around the next day. Because of Dr Jefferson!
I was a widow indeed for 6.5 years and recently remarried to Rev. Barry Landon, who also holds a BFA in history.

They should be a person who believes in and follows the teachings of the Bible as were the founding fathers of Christian and Jewish faith, who created a Federal Republic with a democratic form of government based on and mirrored to the three branches of the Trinity. Our founding fathers stated often and clearly in numerous writings housed in the Library of Congress, that the new Constitutional government would fail as all preceding democracies of history before them, if it did not adhere to that Biblical format.

July 20, 1969, The men landing on the moon. That was the next major event I recall.
I have read its truths and rehearsed them all my adult life. My life is what it is, because of that tight connection with my savior and my belief in His word! I was healed of a stage 3 cancer because of listening to that Bible on recorded media day and night, "God's Word is Healing MEDICINE to All My Flesh!" I had one amazing miracle after another and astounded the doctors and surgeons who finally wrote me down as their Lazarus Patient.
She fixed life.
She sang and brought joy.
- Dealing with the ignorance of many about the porous homey-comb of tunneling in the estates of friends I know on the boarder ranches with Mexico.
- Dealing with unscrupulous thieves who chased my late husband's trusts & my inheritance estate in multiple court assaults, forcing a bankruptcy. I saw problems in our court systems that would be difficult to address or repair, but maybe one day legislators will bravely tackle the judiciary elements of our nation that are perhaps in my opinion possibly broken too, not only congress to be fixed but that branch as well!
But what the enemy meant for evil has turned to good, as I now am wiser and in touch with the suffering of many widows and many Americans who can not navigate the financial demands of their own defense or sustained sieges of cunning lawyers.
- Getting enough rest/ as I am a workaholic with the tenacity to press on until a job is done with excellence. I sometimes wear out my staff personnel who need the same stamina.
The House is the FIRST BRANCH of the Legislative body in the Constitution. The most connected to the voice of the people, was the aim of the Founding Fathers who drafted the Constitution,.
Today an average House member represents over 600,000 people,.The number of reps per state is frozen due to a 1911 law. But as population has increased in the past 100 year, the number of reps might wish to be expanded, to more reasonably and fairy service the people.
Uniquely, the House has power to Impeach elected officials. It has done so 50 times, but only succeeded in Senate Trials concurring 15 times. This power shouldn't be abused to interfere with election processes, especially if the majority party of the House is opposed to the party of the President or any other elected servant opposed.
- Islamic Terrorism from Muslim Brother Hood as noted in their published online agendas.
- Danger in our port cities from illegally instituted and renewed LNG tanker contracts with Arab Spring Nations, not following our security guidelines of staggered port entries and deliveries. Explosions of such vessels as in Cleveland OH in the 1940's can be catastrophic. The leading Naval intelligence officer 3 miles from the Cove Point, MD facility, agreed with me at one of my briefings there.
- 2nd Amendment Rights.
- Homeless populations increasing.There is an ever widening gap of those who know how to access/use digital technology, daily demanded by all forms of business, educational & social interaction.But those who can't afford the devices lag behind in that rift, creating a jobless damaged population that can not keep their jobs, or homes and pass that disability on to their children, who are further handicapped. When families loose jobs, are evicted, then schools are effected too and the children suffer.
- Health Care
- Oncology Industry should continue to profusely hinder new FDA trial studies progress. vs radiation/chemo
- Socialism -vs- Conservatism. Revisionist of history.
- Deep State Dark Money, like that of Bloomberg and Soros and foreign entities in the Petro Dollar economy.Russia & China, grabbing for land & industry & political power in America, when this is NOT their land!
- InfaStructures of highways, bridges, and preservation of historical landmarks.
- Viable Sources of Energy
- Viable Sources of Food
- National Security issues
- Morality issues of predatory LGBTQ & heterosexual deviants committing pedofile crimes upon children.The International Child Trafficking problem needs to be stopped!
Armed Services interests me because of urgency of current escalating military challenges in the Middle East.Ways and Means
Education and Labor has always attracted my attention, because I've been an educator and realize that our education institutions & systems, publicly & privately will determine the productivity & property of our small or large corporate business work force.
Energy and Commerce is a key interest to me as I believe we should negotiate extracting ourselves more aggressively from foreign Petro Oil Dollar Economy, towards total energy independence. Geo Thermal Fuel is inexhaustible, and pervasive beneath our shale/fossil reserves. It's prohibitive factors of extraction can be resolved by hydrology techniques, chlorine dioxide, cooling mechanisms for excessive heat factors at the core volcanic depths. Technologies to improve the drilling units are possible and grants should be made to accomplish that with strict regulation against speed/greed to prevent fracking or abuse.
Foreign Affairs attracts me in lieu of my background of diplomatic adventures in Asia, the Middle East and Central America.
Homeland Security is a key focus as I spent 11 wks in research for RevokeRealId.com. I spent 6 weeks in 2019 on Capitol Hill, fielding a join congressional resolution to revoke real Id act 2005, investigate it's offshore monitoring companies, non encrypted code and lack of DMV software/training to vet the required birth certificates. As a graduate of S.E.G. 2010, matters of terrorism and protection for our nation.
Science, Space, &Technology as I worked at MetCalf Communications.
Transportation:Resolve infastructure
Veterans' Affairs: My Homeless Vet Bill
However, in today's society, the exhausting physical and financial activities every two years to run for Congress might be discouragement to a better focus in Washington, than on the campaign trail to maintain the seat of only two years. In my conversations with members about this and the Chaplain of the Congress in Washington, I have heard that complaint and their concerns and yearnings for more longevity and peace to the process. But then again, the proportion of strength of Congressional seat power is such that there should be term limit to prevent excessive abuse of that power.
I admire the stand he took (as having changed to a Senator), on refusing to ride in the "Holiday" vs "Christmas" Tulsa Parade. I heard him speak at he Weyrich luncheon about the Christians held hostage in Africa that he had labored long and hard to free. He also gave y Resolution$550 a unanimous Senate Vote. He is one of my husband and admired heroes.
The compassion of that city bus driver for that wee child and mother, caused all the other passengers on board who were headed for the stop at the Murrah Federal building to miss their appointment with untimely death!
I am so proud of the hometown, common sense, loving values of that driver and the prayer life of he and the woman with the toddler.
I know several more stories about near misses that day.
