Why are you running?

I want to make the good law our country needs.


I want to get into the Republican Congressional Caucus and bring them the following gospel:

1. We've got to stop the assualt on Social Security benefits.

2. We've got to extend Medicare to anyone under age 65 who wants to buy into it.

3. We've got to restore tax rates to their Clinton-Gingrich era levels.

4. Jobs must be made available to the long-term unemployed who are willing to work.
