My plans for 2012
I have decided not run for US Congress in the 12th District this year. For 2012, I am planning to spend my time promoting the foundational principles of our country. We stand at a crossroads today. We have turned to the right, towards freedom and prosperity, but we have not yet committed to that path. […]
Priorities for NC General Assembly
On November 2, 2010, the Republican party gained control of the North Carolina General Assembly for the first time since 1898… 112 years! I’ve had the opportunity to get to know a number of the people that will be representing us in this new General Assembly and am hopeful that NC will turn back towards […]
Is NC one of the top states for business growth?
In a recent letter to party members, the North Carolina Democrat Party made this statement: “… our nation has started to rebound and North Carolina is leading the way. Through the hard work of the Governor and State Legislature, we maintained our AAA Bond Rating – and important rating that tells companies that North Carolina […]
Issues: Health Care
It has amazed me to watch as the current Democrats in Congress have tried all sorts of tactics to pass their wildly unpopular healthcare bill. If this bill is finally forced through Congress and is signed into law so that the government is able to take control of the healthcare industry, we can expect the […]

Nevertheless, we have watched over the past year as Congress has focused its attention on […]
The Message: A Final, but very Important Note
The Declaration of Independence states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” In this one simple sentence, our Founders declared two things: 1) that all men are […]
The Message: Responsibility in Government
In the past year, we have all heard about many of the bills that have come before Congress that were thousands of pages in length. It is not possible that a bill of this size can efficiently accomplish what it was intended to accomplish. Because of the large size, politicians are forced to have their […]
The Message: Secure the Blessings of Liberty to Ourselves and Our Posterity
Our Constitution states that it was created so the blessings of freedom would be insured for us, and for our children, and for our children’s children. The policies and laws that our government creates are often created with the best of intentions, but when we allow our government to overstep its constitutional limits and interfere […]
