You paid taxes, and followed the law. Government wants more, yet those who cheat and steal get free pass(es). Are those elected protecting yours or their interests?
I have ran for public office since 2001. Never won once. No media cares to cover my campaign. Yet, I persist... meeting one voter at a time and helping those however I could.
When I was knocked off the Republican line in May, I returned money back to contributors. Campaigning needs money, but I prefer to earn respect and votes.
I filed petitions for four third-party lines: We The People, Secure Border, Common Sense and Truth. And again, I was knocked off in June.
