Reason for Seeking Public Office:
Every generation has had challenges that it must meet. Ours is no different. From radical Islamic facists who desire to destroy us and our way of life, attacks on the God-ordained institution of marriage between one man and one woman with same-sex marriage, an income and payroll tax system that is strangling our economy and sending jobs offshore, a social security and medicare system that is in danger of collapse from the oncoming baby boomer generation, the American holocaust of abortion that has condoned the murder of more than 40 million babies in their mother's wombs since 1973 and our dependence on foreign oil, we must have representation in Washington that places principle before politics. Our present Senator Rockefeller's partisan voting record and disregard for the will of the people of West Virginia leaves us without responsible representation. I waited until the last day to file to see if anyone else might step up and challenge Rockefeller. When no one else would do so, out of a sense of duty, I offer myself as the alternative, which if elected, will humbly serve the people of West Virginia with their will and welfare in mind.
