TEA PARTY AFFILIATION

I have organized and actively participaged in several TEA Party rally events throughout the Upper Peninsula and Northern Wisconsin. Although I have been both an emcee and guest speaker for several rallies, I cannot portend to be a selected TEA Party candidate. Only the voters possess the qualifications to assess any candidate’s predisposition to accurately represent their values, principles and philosophies.

We’ve seen far too often what happens when we surrender our selection process to CNN, AP, FOX News and other political insider organizations. Let the remaining history of this great Republic view this period as the critical juncture which propelled us back to God and His blessings of prosperity.
