Government and politics have intrigued me as far back as I can remember. I am aging myself by saying I remember JFK’s assassination, Johnson on TV saying he won’t run again, and was glued to the TV all 4 nights of the 1968 Republican Convention, when Richard Nixon was chosen as nominee.
As a Disabled Vietnam Era Veteran, government and politics have become very important to me. As U.S. citizens, you and I not only have the right to vote … we have the responsibility to your fellow citizens to vote. In order to make the appropriate decisions we must remain vigilant in keeping informed on Issues and candidates.
We do not elect Representative and Senators to rule us … we elect them to serve us by representing our best interests, not their own. There will always be those who get into politics as a career for personal gain. I am a firm believer in the use of term limits for all elected officials, federal, state, and local, not just Presidents and governors, as a form of checks and balances to guard against career politicians and unchecked power and control they currently have.
Federal government has grown into the uncontrollable bureaucracy it is because of self-serving, career politicians who manage to stay in Washington simply because of name recognition, with no regard for their performance, or lack thereof.
My goal is to provide the information necessary for you to understand Washington, and by proxy the nation, so that you can make informed decisions when casting your votes at your local poll.
