Awards:

Oddly enough, I am proud of a humble award I have received three times from the Friends of Bacon Library for volunteer service to the Bacon Memorial District Library, Wyandotte, Michigan. During when computers came on line for internet service at the library, I was invited to tutor patrons to help them get started on the internet. I have received other recognitions from service organizations, but this is the best.

Personal Hero and Why:

Jesus Christ. Being the Lord, we assume that He had nothing on the line when He may have had everything. We don't know if total rejection by the human race would have finished Him (and the Father, too). That remains a mystery. He assumed we were worth dying for when His life was given as a ransom for our transgressions against the Almighty God. Under threat of death, he declared His Kingdom.

Priority Issues:

Holding the line against expanded government. Using traditional energy sources, such as oil, coal, and nuclear power. Growing crops for food rather than for fuel. End embryonic research and end abortion.

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

It is the best way to express my ideas publicly.
