            I am the best person to represent the people of Indiana's 2nd district because I am not a politician, nor will I ever be one.  I am an independent thinker and will not engage in party politics. I will defend our Constitution, and  work to protect the people without eroding the rights set forth in that same document I hold so dear.
    
       I consider myself a true patriot.  It takes more to be a patriot than just waving the flag and shouting hooray for our side.  A true patriot is one that questions authority when they see wrong being done.  A true patriot is one that will take a stand against corrupt leadership that treats our Constitution as no more than a detriment to unjust policies.  I know our founding fathers look down from above with a smile every time people stand up to, and fight against the injustices imposed on the people by political leadership that serves the few, instead of the many.  
    
       I am the best person to serve the people of our district because I have never had a want for money.  I have had a need for money, but the pursuit of financial wealth has never been on my list of priorities.  Corporate greed is one of the greatest enemies facing this country and world.  Corporations use to do business with the intent of making a reasonable profit.  That standard has been replaced by the evil of maximizing profits.  I cannot be bought by corporate America and will work to reign in their greedy ways.
