Official Election Pamphlet Bio & Statement

Bio:

For the last 6 years I have been studying politics intensely. The passage of the Patriot Act after the events of 9/11 made me start questioning the intentions of our leaders.

As I watched the run-up to the war in Iraq, and investigated the lies we were being told by our government and the Corporate media and the effect these lies would have on innocent people, I felt that I must get involved and do everything to stop the atrocity before it happened.. Many years later, I am still fighting to stop a war that never should have started.

I live by words of the great Martin Luther King Jr: "Silence is betrayal".

Position Statement:

I am not a politician, . I am running for office because I feel obligated to do my part to return our country to the ideals of it's founders, to a democracy of, by and for the people.

Since George Bush took office, our freedoms, our constitution, the very fabric of the country has been torn to shreds. From the Patriot Act to the illegal wiretapping of US Citizens, this administration has used 9/11 as an opportunity to push extremist ideals on the country and the world. Sadly, America attacked the innocent nation of Iraq which had nothing to do with 9/11 – we have become the bullies of the world.

This administration has violated international law and our own constitution. They are now spying on library, medical, and financial records of everyday Americans. Bush has brazenly broken the law with illegal wiretapping, collecting data on every phone call made in America – just like a dictator. This is a blatant violation of our Constitutional rights.

Our representatives swore to “Uphold and Defend The Constitution” - they have failed. I am running to return accountability to our government and to restore the Constitution.

If elected, I will not lunch with lobbyists, or accept $80,000+ in free jet rides. I will not accept any Campaign Contributions.

I do not wish to become a career politician, so I will not actively campaign for re-election, because that is exactly what's wrong with Congress.
