Reason for Seeking Public Office:

Current legislators are detached from reality. There is no fiscal responsibility from either party for the last decade. Few of our elected officials have a problem with not telling the truth. The country is off course and headed towards socialism. I have personally lived and worked for an extended period in a socialist country and I know would be bad for America. My children are already in debt by over $42K each. This number is growing fast and bankrupt each of them before they get their first job. I see the potential for a bright future, but not with the current leadership. It must be replaced by common sense Citizen Politicians.
