Politics ought to be the part-time profession of every citizen who would protect the rights and privileges of free people and who would preserve what is good and fruitful in our national heritage. ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ Disarmament, with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing imperative.

Hi!
I am running for US Senate in Missouri. I am a progressive conservative who believes in environmental conservation, fiscal responsibility, and individual freedom with equal rights for everybody!
I would like to clean up Congress, but I also hope to change the landscape of party politics that has turned so many of us against each other. I hope to unite Missourians in an effort to help return America to our ideal government "of the People, by the People, and for the People".
On this note, my main goal is to promote steering America toward a more direct "participatory" democracy in which the People have a direct role in dictating the policies and priorities of the United States of America.
The people of Missouri deserve more than empty rhetoric and broken promises. I will offer ideas to move America forward, and I will listen to the ideas of other citizens so that we can start solving the problems confronting America as a community.
"There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one what is right."
