Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I have decided to enter the race for membership to the U.S Senate because of what I see as the political betrayal of our Political leaders in regards to the Constitution of America. No-one seems to be listening to the people and their cries for public officials to properly represent them. I see it as my civic duty to do something about this problem. This election period has taught us that if the people's demand for justice is not heard, your days in office will be numbered. It is our duty as their public servants to carry out the duties and responsibilities as their elected officials. This duty to serve the public has been sowed in me by my late father who was a man of principle and a man of the people.
Among my many goals regarding my adopted country, is the need to strengthen our borders and our immigration system, reduce our entitlement programs, reducing the cost of healthcare, the need to take care of our veterans by increasing their health care benefits, dealing with our trade deficit and to help guide America back to its dominance in the political and International arena without being arrogant about it. These issues are but just small parts of my agenda in which I plan declare and act on the name of the electorate. America must demonstrate strength without losing our ability to be kind and gentle in the process.
I have always believed in this country and its strength, power and faith. I am not in this race to further my own selfish needs. My main mission is to return the love and nurturing this country gave me, in order that I can be a part of its greater days ahead.
