| Collapse all
- Restoring federalism and all other first principles
- Achieve Economic Growth and job opportunities
- Promote virtues, independence and self-governance
2) Reduce the cost of Healthcare invoking free-market principles
3) Aggressively go after the root causes of the drug epidemic
4) Education: School choice.
I am inspired by people who speak the truth even if their voice shakes. I am inspired by people who stand up against the mob. I look up to those who serve in our military. I am inspired by perseverance. I am inspired by those who do good deeds without seeking credit. I am inspired by humility and courage.
I also recommend books written by Mark Levin, Senator Mike Lee, Thomas Sowell, and Rand Paul. The Great Courses offer many series that provide a historical perspective of our founding that the progressives would like to pretend doesn't exist.
2) Be Honest, forthright and faithful to our first principles
3) Possess no inkling of superiority
4) Be BOLD or go home
5) Take no shit from anyone
6) promote the betterment of mankind
7) Don't play games
I have risen from hardships wiser, stronger and more determined than ever to stay true to who I am.
I wholeheartedly believe in the truism that all men are created equal.
I believe we cannot carry on doing the same old things and expect different outcomes.
I believe Freedom must not be taken for granted.
2) Promote our Declaration's principles
3) Keep your District informed on the happenings taking place in their Capitol
4) Protect individual liberty, mores and all inalienable rights
The most important attributes to possess is a passion for performing the main constitutional duty as a state legislator- abdicating this duty just to get re-elected or keep your "friends" in the clique is cowardice and unacceptable.
We need to promote self-responsibly, independence and resilience- as these are the attributes which provide dignity and empowers individuals to reach their full potential and live bravely, boldly and admirably.
A governor reveals their true faith in or lack of faith in his fellow Montanans with the bills he signs or rejects. A governor should be a champion for the State's success and financial stability and not a tool for the anti-capitalists and environmental alarmists.
Many legislators have this idea that they are the bulwarks of liberty but are they truly? What have they achieved in publicly supporting and promoting our principles of liberty?
I prefer to let them share their story.
