Since 1982, Barbara Boxer has voted for bigger government, higher taxes and more regulations. Boxer now wants a massive cap-and-trade energy tax that will shift American jobs to China. I believe in a limited government whose role is to secure our God-given rights - to provide us the environment in which we can pursue happiness; not try to provide us happiness with money borrowed from China. Rather than Stimulus projects fueled with borrowed money, we should encourage job creation and investment by reducing taxes and regulation and increasing our domestic energy production with modern nuclear power and advanced oil and gas drilling.

Congress has abandoned us. Our deficits and spending are out of control. Government feels they know what is best for us. 2010 is pivotal. We must send fiscally conservative candidates to Washington fix what is broken. No man can serve two masters. It's time to send someone to Washington who will work FOR YOU. Someone who understands living on a budget and will not compromise his values for political gain. Someone not afraid to tell government they're wrong. The time is now and the choice is yours. Send me to begin fixing what is broken.

Deficit spending must immediately cease and all unconstitutional programs must be eliminated from the budget. All legal revenues, save those needed to pay for the enumerated functions of the federal government, and certain entitlements we are contractually obligated to pay, should be re-directed to eliminate the national debt until it is repaid. The income tax on Americans should be eliminated and the sixteenth amendment repealed since the war it was intended to pay for ended in 1919. These adjustments would cause an explosion of wealth and growth in our economy the likes of which has not been seen in the current generations. This economic growth would easily then provide the nation with the funds needed for it to function and to continue paying back its debts.

"2nd Amendment - I am a life member of the NRA and I fully support the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. When looking at the writings of our nation's founders, I find their interpretation of the right to keep and bear arms quite clear. I agree with them in virtually every regard with respect to this amendment. When the Second Amendment states "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed", what it means is, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Period. When in Congress, I will never vote for any piece of legislation that infringes on an American's right to keep and bear arms and I will actively advance legislation that supports this right. For an illustration of my support of the Second Amendment, please take a look at the townhall - blog on this website.

I am deeply concerned that our nation is at a tipping point in history. We are choosing between government control of our lives and the continuation of our God given rights. Like never before in history, people are concerned about their freedom and their livelihoods as jobs decline and the cost of living increases. I will be working hard to create lasting job opportunities by fostering economic growth through a free market economy. We need to end the redistribution of your hard-earned dollars, by eliminating unnecessary government spending and lowering taxes. At the heart of our economy are small businesses that need to be supported by reducing unnecessary regulation and providing incentives for new businesses. Finally, I plan to improve our national security through a strong military, securing our borders, and strengthening our domestic anti-terrorism programs. Above all, I will listen to your concerns and be your trusted voice in Washington.

This race is not one of Democrat or Republican but of the AMERICAN! Short-term politics are overshadowing the long-term interests of our nation. We, the people, must restore the federal government to its original constitutional function.. The freedoms of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were not covered in the blood of American patriots so that congress could pursue their own self-serving agendas. Government officials need to be reminded that they are servants to the people, not to be served by the people. We must rein in discretionary apportionments and place spending under a watchful eye. Fiscal responsibility, a balanced budget, unemployment, taxes, the 2nd amendment... these issues are of mandatory precedence for the 2010 elected officials. Full transparency must become a prerequisite for any Congressman/woman.

SPENDING: 'I am gravely concerned by a federal government that continues spending money it doesn't have. In early 2009, I joined Florida's entire Republican congressional delegation in opposing the $787 billion stimulus bill. In the U.S. Senate, I will support measures like a balanced budget amendment and the line-item veto that will help control the excessive and wasteful spending in Washington that threatens to leave future generations with crushing debt and a country worse off than that of their parents and grandparents."

Not a Career Politician - After I am elected, I would listen to your comments on my performance before running again. I harbor no intentions of becoming a "career politician." My aim is to serve as a temporary statesman and bring the voice of the people to government with a lot of energy. I am mindful of the sad truth behind "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." As collateral for this assurance, if elected, I promise I will not enlist in the Congressional pension plan, which guarantees members up to 80% of their salary in annual pension. I believe this is fiscally irresponsible and too lucrative. The current salary paid by you, the taxpayer, for a seat in Congress is $174,000, which is well over three times our area's median household income. Obviously I would act to reduce this - how can you believe Congress will tighten the purse-strings on wasteful government spending if Congress fails to start with itself?

America is still the greatest nation in the world, but the policies of this Congress and Administration amounts to nothing less than 'generational theft". Rep. Corrine Brown has been in office since 1993 and her voting record is nothing but another 'yes" vote for the Pelosi/Reid agenda of increased Debt, higher taxes, and redistribution of wealth from our middle class taxpayers. The people of this District are in need of genuine leadership and not someone who 'delivers" the pork from Washington. My love for our nation could no longer allow me to sit on the sidelines and watch, so I took a stand to become the next Representative from Florida who will bring fiscal discipline, smaller and less obstructive government, and JOBS, JOBS, JOBS back to this District by allowing our small businesses to once again expand and grow.
