I am somebody's mom, an independent businesswoman, concerned community member, and fierce defender of our constitutions- federal and state.
  • We, the people, want to be left alone- we know what is best for our families, our businesses and our lives.
  • We, the people, believe that the governments should follow the rules.
  • We, the people, EXPECT to keep the fruits of our labors.
The Green Energy policies are so far from common sense and fiscal responsibility, NET ENERGY BILLING and "Green" subsidies MUST be stopped.
My favorite has always been Madam Currie, she was a pioneer and never lost faith in herself.
My Favorites: The Declaration of Independence, US Constitution, Federalist Papers, Common Sense by Thomas Paine........
Courage and Integrity
I have a REALLY good bullshit detector! I ask questions others seem to be hesitant to ask; such as: Why? Who says? Can you prove it? How do we know? What aren't you telling me? Who benefits from this? Where is the money?
I possess a tremendous amount of courage and integrity.
To create and protect a government by, for, and of the people; defending the rights bestowed by our creator and specifically written in THE Declaration of Independence, as well as our Constitution.
I would like to leave a trail of light, love and laughter!
I watched the first rocket launched into space on a Television, set up on the stage in my school auditorium.
I wept when President Kennedy was murdered. I went to a prayer vigil when Dr. King was murdered.
My first job was cleaning for my neighbor. She was the librarian at the University of Buffalo Medical College. Whenever I cleaned with her, I was allowed to view the labs and specimens on display! I was about 8-10 years old.
Wayne Dyer: There is a Spiritual Solution.

It's true, there is always a spiritual solution to every situation- remembering this keeps me on the straight and narrow path and thinking positive thinking.

John McLane
East Side, West Side, Sidewalks of New York
Keeping my mouth shut when faced with lies.
We have 3 branches of government, ideally to provide checks and balances. Ultimately, we are all representing the citizens of this great state with honesty, courage and transparency.
Undoing the rash of recently passed laws that have absolutely NO constitutional authority.
Actually, I don't.
Our founders envisioned a nation where average people tended to the business of the state. We must return to leadership BY, FOR and OF the PEOPLE.
Absolutely!!! WE are a team! And.... we each have different areas of expertise and experience; we can draw upon each other's strengths.
Yes, I am inspired by Heidi Samson and Katrina Smith; both women of courage, strength, compassion and integrity.
No.
I have heard the same story over and over..... small business owners, dedicated to their employees and customers, weeping with frustration as they battle state regulations and interference seemingly designed to put them completely out of business. Restaurants, Gyms, Salons, Logging, Child care, Landlords, Builders,....
If April showers bring Mayflowers... what do Mayflowers bring?
Pilgrims
Our founding fathers had just come through 2 pandemics when the founding documents were written; There is no authority under our constitution for emergency powers.
Rescind NET ENERGY BILLING
Gun Owners of Maine, NRA, Maine Sportsman Alliance, Parental Rights in Education
Business Regulatory and Licensing, Mental Health and Substance Abuse
Neither exist in Maine. They ought to. How can we say the people are being represented in Augusta when everything is sneaky, corrupt and "late at night back alley trickery".... The people are not being fairly represented.
We must have voter ID and clean up our voter rolls.
