I’ve managed budgets, solve difficult problems, and have delivered results. I’ve reduced expenses, while at the same time improving quality and performance. Shown accountability with receipts and expenses.
I’ve not only talked about creating jobs, I’ve actually done it — as a Deli Manager for Associated Supermarkets. I built a department from scratch, books showing $1k a week, increased to $4k a week, department employees expanded from one to four in a period of less than six months.
Thoughts and Ideas
Our elected and appointed officials work for the people. Our form of government is a Constitutional Republic. Liberty without moral order, God, and individual responsibility will not endure. It is Of, By, and For the People. It is time to demand action and accountability. They have become too arrogant, tools of the vested interests, elitist, intoxicated with power, and they spend money like drunkards. The people want change! I want to reform government. Help me to transform the Congress to the “Peoples’ House” once again. The just laws of man derive from the natural laws of God. Our rights come from God. They do not come from the Government.
We must become energy independent soon, downsize government and make it more accountable, balance the budget, strengthen the dollar and reign in inflation, control our borders, defeat terrorism and keep Americans safe, bring the troops home as soon as possible, encourage savings, support and strengthen the family & the middle class, defend the sanctity and dignity of all human life, repair our infrastructure, put our own house in order, and keep jobs in America.
I need your financial support, your help, and your prayers. All of America has a stake in this race. Please support our great District 20 Florida win in November of 2012 to defeat DWS and her political machine. |
