My first campaign speech

  Hello everyone,


  On the 18th of February, my local Veteran Club had a welcome back party/dinner in honor of my safe return. I was asked to give a speech ( as a Veteran....more so than a Presidential candidate ).  During that speech I strongly voiced that more needed to be done for our Veterans...past, present and future.  Many are returning with P.T.S.D. ( Post traumatic stress disorder ) although it is now called something else to separate the stigma of having a mental disorder.

  I took the microphone again shortly after that, and announced that I am running for President in 2016 and why....we also have been handing out many of my business cards.

  If any of my readers would like any cards to distribute, please just email me or get in touch via Face Book.  Have a great day and weekend.

Back and ready to rest...video to follow soon.

  Hello friends and readers,

  Recently made it home from the deployment and have been having a bear of a time getting my computer back to America Mode...ha ha.  Everything has been going well with family and our adorable pups. I am hoping to have a video made fairly soon, within a week and posted to both YouTube and the blog.  Have a great weekend.

On the way home.....

  Hello friends and readers,

  While I am not yet on the flight that will return me home, it is close enough that I will have to "close up shop" temporarily.

  Writing this blog, thus far, has been a great experience and knowledgeable journey.  I truly appreciate the comments and really look forward to posting my videos, so I can finally talk to you, face to face ( depending on how close you sit to your monitors ).

  I appreciate your support and well wishes.  I will not be gone long.

Have a great weekend!

I discovered why voters....uh, hate to vote.

 Hello friends and readers,

  Perhaps I have deployed to often, or have lived within a County where excess voting doesn't occur...but over all...we vote too much.

  We vote for City Councils and proposals.

  We vote for Bond issues....from rebuilding a library to retrofitting a firehouse or police station or for extra funds to clean parks....the list goes on and on.

  We vote on Levy's to add an additional 15 cents per thousand dollars we owe on our homes, to our existing mortgages or however else they wish to collect the money.

  And, as if that isn't enough, we have State Primaries, Straw Polls , Congressional Votes ( for re-election or to toss aside like so much refuse....remember 33 jobs open this year ), the ever unpopular "Popular" Vote for the presidency....and if that weren't enough......

  The candy companies wish us to choose the new or popular color of M and M's.  It would realistically drive anyone who likes to support certain ideas and events to wither and cower at the thought of ....  yet, another Election.  This is just theory and is not yet proven....please don't post angry comments if these words don't describe you....or even anybody you know.  Have a great day everyone!!
