I am my Father's son, he is an example of heroic. He is a disabled American Hero who served in the US Air Force. My father would give you the shirt off of his back, he is a perfect example of sacrifice.

I support them 100% Our Founding Fathers never dreamed that we would be creating career positions in government.
I travel this District everyday for my work. Seeing the pain on the faces of so many, especially those on fixed incomes is something I do not take lightly.
Without compromise you get the disaster we have now. Policy from the majority of legal citizens to their representatives to be put into law.
