U.S. Senator Daniel Webster, who gave his utmost and every effort to reform the United States of America and avert the U.S. Civil War.
The U.S. Constitution
Honesty, persistence, fidelity & Faith
To represent the American individuals he serves.
For all American individuals and families to know their children will grow up in a safer, stronger and more excellent Republic.
The 1984 Reagan v Monday Presidential election when I was six years old.
Texas House legislative staffer
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Because of that green light, a beacon of dreams
I would not be a fictional character
Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey
Every mountain I have ever climbed
The U.S. Debt, the Chinese Communist Party, illegal immigration, energy independence, national security and the economic security of every American.
I support term limits for the U.S. Senate.
The U.S. Senate is an institution of historical import that preserved, protected and defended the American way of life for centuries. However, the body has lost it’s way, become a back room for special interest deals, and I will go to Washington D.C. to reverse this deplorable state of affairs.
Potentially
The filibuster is a critical element and tradition of the U.S. Senate.
Senator Daniel Webster
You have to donate to the campaign to hear my best joke
I would only vote to confirm Constitutional Absolutists
Collaborative but Firm
To reform the Executive Branch
The only appropriate criteria is whether the appointee is loyal to the U.S. Constitution, the American individual and is qualified for the position on a President’s Cabinet: they must be the best but also in-touch with the real world and your real life.
