His ideas and courage exemplify the people's dream of leadership representation."

He is a man of integrity and has a strong compassion to do what is right for America. He is a humble man and is not afraid to take a stand for what is right. Because of his concern about the future of our country, Bernie has stepped up to the plate to run as a candidate for U. S. Congressman of the 3rd District of Arkansas. He shows us respect by listening to us. He wants our input on laws that will effect each and every one of us. His knowledge of world events, national events, state and local events is astounding. He understands what this country was built on and he wants to help restore it by controlling Big Government with it's corruption by the platform of ideas he has addressed. He has committed 29 years of his life in miltary service to our country and he has a desire to continue to serve the people of this great.state by the values and principles this country was based upon. I believe we need a man like Bernie to represent us."

Critical Challenge #3: Illegal Immigration

download full paper

Immigration has made America great. We should all take great joy in the richness of talents, skills, and energy that millions upon millions of immigrants have given our nation. Many of us are who we are because of immigration. My very mother immigrated from Czechoslovakia, and both my father's parents were from Europe. Most of us can trace our ancestry only a few generations back to immigrants.

But illegal immigration is a problem with tremendous direct, indirect, and social costs. It has put tremendous burdens on social programs and has been identified as a source of significant crime and other problems in many regions of America.

In the following pages, I will outline the seriousness of the illegal immigration problem. I will then outline five specific initiatives we should pursue to remedy the problem.

We can solve illegal immigration. We must solve illegal immigration.

Critical Challenge #2: Veteran Homelessness and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

download full paper

Our Veterans have given us the freedoms we enjoy, security from harm, and are arguably the reason we continue to exist as a free nation.

Unfortunately, our Veterans are suffering from the burdens of their service. We as a nation owe it to them to honor our commitments in helping them overcome the challenges brought on by those burdens.

In the next few pages I will briefly deal with just two of the many issues that burden far too many Veterans: Homelessness and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

I will briefly outline:

  • How pervasive Veteran homelessness is
  • How many Veterans are afflicted with PTSD

I will conclude by offering six specific common-sense initiatives that need to be pursued—and that I will pursue—to honor our commitments to our Veterans in overcoming these challenges.
