My New Job if Elected

In Congress, and as per the Constitution, the U.S. House of Representatives makes and passes federal laws. The House is one of Congress's two chambers (the other is the U.S. Senate), and part of the federal government's legislative branch. Each representative is elected to a two-year term serving the people of a specific congressional district. Among other duties, representatives introduce bills and resolutions, offer amendments and serve on committees.

6. To establish uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies
7. To coin money and regulate the value thereof

18. ** (the "elastic clause") to make all laws necessary for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by the Constitution

Many of the powers bestowed on me as a future House Rep are in areas that I have a great deal of experience in. Those that include taxes, money, and general fiscal responsibility are where I can use my knowledge from job responsibilities I have now or have had in the past in the Corporate arena. Working in financial and travel related services gives me a solid foundation in making decisions and passing bills about fiscal issues. I also have a well-rounded background that includes many areas, and one in particular supports promoting the progress of useful arts, science and innovation. I have authored many technical whitepapers and creative writing works, and in addition have a background in performing arts. And to the questions related to the military, war and military strategy - I grew up in a military household where I learned first hand from my father the dedication to defending our country and the importance of our military. The many skills I have honed in Corporate America allows me to think strategically, which lends well to decision making, negotiating, and critical thinking for the most important issues facing our country.

I am one tough cookie, and I will always stick to my principles. This nation was formed under God. I will protect us from all of the external forces drawing us into Socialism, or worse, Communism and even a New World Order. I will fervently fight for every person of every age, religion, and race. And my deep-rooted conservative and Catholic Christian faith and regard for Judaism sets my moral compass. I believe in solid Midwestern values and common sense. We need to strive to be a better America in the future; one that is civilized, refined, fair to all, affordable, educated, considerate, charitable, peaceful, and a great place to live for every family in the nation.
