Get ready for tax increases
Friday, February 12th, 2010President Obama just changed his position from “not a dime” of tax increases for those making less than $250,000 per year to “agnostic” on tax increases to the middle class. The next change will be tax increases for the entire middle class. I’m sure it will be President Bush’s fault. However, let’s not forget that the [...]
Why Obama and Murphy are responsible for the economy
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010President Obama and Congressman Patrick Murphy, along with the Democratic leadership, keep blaming the economy on President Bush and his administration. While I agree that President Bush did let spending get out of control, he was not alone. Let’s not forget that in 2004, when “Senator” Obama was elected to the Senate, federal spending was [...]
Press Release – Leaving Race
Friday, January 29th, 2010Government spending is out of control, government policies are forcing jobs overseas, and the majority of our politicians have forgotten that they represent the people and have succumbed to political parties, special interest groups, and their own political aspirations.
Our country is in real trouble and the American people know it. I have spoken to hundreds [...]

Monday, January 25th, 2010Since Mike Fitzpatrick’s announcement, I have been asked whether or not I intend to stay in the race for the 8th Congressional district.

E-mail from Patrick Murphy
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010Today, I received a bulk e-mail from Patrick Murphy. I must have gotten on his e-mail list from my online feedback to him on the issues. The subject line read “Cutting Waste in Washington and Saving Taxpayer Dollars”. I thought it was a joke, at first.
It went on to talk about how he is looking [...]

The Fear Of The Unknown On The Economy
Tuesday, December 8th, 2009It appears that our representatives in Washington have finally gotten around to discussing the creation of private sector jobs. I welcome these discussions, although they are long overdue, as private sector jobs are the only real way to set our economy on the path to sustained growth. Washington is, however, ignoring a major contributor to [...]
