Why are you running for office?
My dad and his (the greatest) generation gave us baby boomers a world free from Hitler and the Japanese. We had the best cars, TV shows, cartoons and by far the best music - Rock’n’Roll is king! But we really blew it being terrible stewards of the national treasure and ran up tremendous debt for our posterity to pay off to red China and Arab nations. Our kids deserve a debt-free USA and it is my intense, burning desire to attack and annihilate that monster national debt before it’s too late.
What do you see as the three biggest issues you’ll face?
1. Total annihilation of national debt in the minimum of time
2. Destroy the unconstitutional works of the progressive liberals, domestic enemies to the Constitution and country we’re sworn to defend.
3. Ensure the U.S. tax code is scrapped and declared unconstitutional on the legal grounds of being void for vagueness - even the experts can’t understand half of that penalty to prosperity.
If elected, what steps will you take to resolve these issues?
1. Raise awareness, develop and maintain political will to pay debt off, abolish all parts of federal government outside the strictest interpretation of U.S. Constitution. We put a man on the moon and we can do this for our kids with American determination and total commitment to the noble and glorious and righteous mission. Do it for your kids.
2. Employ blitzkrieg tactic: Gain air superiority then roll in with tanks and infantry, to wit: First bind the demonic evil spirits from hell that the liberal progressives serve in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ - that is obtaining “air superiority.” Then vigorously pursue a political campaign to get the righteous, real American patriots elected to office who take their oath of office to heart. That’s the tanks and infantry component.
3. The Supreme Court does not have the courage to hear the case against the income tax code’s constitutionality. Congress can pass a law to nullify the existing tax code and maybe replace it with a fair taxation system that the average man can understand and certainly not another “income tax” law that invades personal privacy like an invountary colonscopy.
What specific skills or experience qualify you for this job?
Serving in the government six years as a commissioned U.S. Naval officer in conjunction with another five years as a professional engineer qualifies me for the title “bureaucrat extraordinaire.” I am smart as demonstrated by my professional engineer license. I have an innate ability to figure out how things (systems) work and to devise ways to either destroy them, get around them or use their power to my advantage.
Why should voters elect you, rather than an opponent?
I am passionate and do not pull any punches. Like my military demolition missions, it is my style to passionately throw myself into every project like a heat-seeking missile until victory is mine. I am an Irishman and fighting and Irishman is like mud-wrestling a pig; you both get filthy but the pig loves it!
