Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:

One , illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and
secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the
trafficking in drugs and people No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no
resolution. P.S., I'm not a racist. This isn't to be confused with legal
immigration.

Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to
it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95%
repealed. Freeze, repeal.

Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped
immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the
process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.

Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to
say.

Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive
decision. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go
on break. Slow down!

Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully
restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your
own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why
don't you start there.

Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010
census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees
contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the
funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations.
I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don't
trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and
get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks
like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political
buddies. You work for us, the people Investigate.

Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I
have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me
jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got
a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why -- what
do you have against shareholders making a profit?

Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I
have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we
know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt
out, please. We want to do it ourselves.

Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If
there are hard times ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it and letting
the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band-Aid? We
will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us
the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed
us.

Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it?
Let's have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight
honest talk. Please try -- please stop manipulating and trying to appease me
with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking
around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be
a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.

Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now. Take a breath. Listen to the
people. Let's just slow down and get some input from some non politicians on the
subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into
law. I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist,
a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I'm
busy. I'm busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people
to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our
families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure
our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the
weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our
children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the
brave.
