Why I'm Running
In my young adult days, I was a school director for a rural school district outside of Pittsburgh, PA. My children were young and would be the benefactors of expanding school services. Unfortunately, Jimmy Carter was in office and we had run away inflation. Therefore, the senior citizens would come to our school board meetings and plead with us not to raise taxes. They would say that they lived on a fixed income and that their savings were being destroyed. I, as a young mother and advocate for my children, did not understand at all their dilemma. Time has a way of bringing wisdom to us.Now I am nearing the time when I will be considering retirement. I saved my money in retirement accounts like I understood I was supposed to do. I had a successful career. I have no regrets for preparing for my retirement. I was well diversified. Life was good. I was covered for anything that I could contemplate short of the country falling apart. And so it did. Our economy took a nose dive and President Obama got elected and he has spent and spent and spent.
Now my savings have shrunk and the handwriting is on the wall. The only way to get out of all this federal debt is to print money. My savings will simply be devalued such that I will no longer be the responsible person who saved enough to have a decent retirement income.
At first, I thought there was nothing I could do but continue working. Then I realized I could run for office and change the direction of our country to create wealth once again. I could constructively support restoring financial sanity to our government policies and thus, secure the blessings of liberty for us and our posterity.
This is why I must run and win.

"I congratulate Senator Dan Webster on his victory in the Republican primary and we look forward to a meaningful discussion of the issues facing this District and the nation.

48 hours from the primary and what is the state of affairs? On the governor's level, the debate is vicious. What is the truth?

The Republican Party of Florida and tea party activists are up to dirty tricks. They are using lies, the courts, and the media to discredit me and to allege I am conspiring to take Republican voters away from Republican candidates. TRUE! Newsflash: Elections are about taking votes away from certain candidates and getting them to vote for others. DUH. I am on the side of truth. I stand for freedom, truth and honesty. The dirty tricks operators do not.
