 Greetings. Here I am again. I was slated to be your Independent candidate for NM US House seat 1 against Heather Wilson and Patsy Madrid in 2006, but got ‘bumped’ on a State Democratic Party of New Mexico signature challenge and failed to get back on the ballot in time.That won’t happen again in 2012. I’m West Point ’61, former Vietnam era Airborne, Ranger and Special Forces qualified infantry officer who served on both the front line in Korea with the 1st Cavalry Division, at Ft. Bragg with the 7th Special Forces Group and at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas, on an Army level staff. I have more academic credits between engineering, education, social studies and theology than most ‘ABDs,’ or All But Dissertation PhD candidates. I’m ‘chronologically enhanced.’ But I’m also physically and mentally young and tough, and in excellent medical condition. And I’ve been around. I’ve worked multiple jobs in multiple environments, both here in the States, and in South Korea and the Middle East. I was 'Excellence in Debate' at West Point, one of our country's premier debate schools, and am, in general, 'An Organizer, Analyzer, Synthesizer and Communicator, Technical and Social, Written and Oral' with superb Project Management skills. I’m what Congress needs now to help get it, and our wonderful country, straightened out. I’m good for at least another 20 years of solid, strong action, maybe more. Ask anyone who knows me, and they'll tell you I look and act at least 10 years younger than my chronological age. Many hikers and conditioners on the La Luz Trail, home of one of the nation's most arduous trail runs, know me well. Once elected, I'll do my level best to perform 'par excellence' in all my appointed committee assignments, but in addition, I'll work 'both sides of the aisle’ with Democrats, Republicans, Independents and everyone else in the Senate, to apply my life-long and enormously varied experience toward helping get the “BS” out of our government, inclusive of discouraging meaningless and nonsensical partisanship, further worsened by the advent of the so-called 'Tea Party,' toward hopefully beginning to get our country back on the track of reasonable behavior and fiscal responsibility. I believe if you'll help me get to the US Senate as an Independent for New Mexico this year, you'll be pleasantly surprised at what we can accomplish. |
