Name one thing you would most like to do before you die:
Fix the funding problems of Social Security and Medicare.
Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I do not see anyone in Washington who is proposing anything which will actually fix the problems with the Social Security System. My proposal will also end our dependence on imported oil and gas.
