Understanding my candidacy
If you wish to take some time in advance to understand my candidacy, I suggest you take a look at the following blog entries..
What I am going to say in my one minute opening statement
Do you the voters think that the political class in Washington is doing a number on the American people?
I do.
How big a number are they doing on the American people?
Really big time, I think.
Do you think the political class in Washington works at keeping the electorate divided and Republicans and Democrats angry and riled up against each other?
I do.
Do you think the political class in Washington does that to try to keep themselves entrenched and to increase their power and riches?
I do.
Do you think this has gotten worse over the past twenty years?
I do.
Do you think this has led to the dysfunctinality of Congress and its being unable to do its job properly for the American people?
I do.
How dire is this becoming for the country?
I think very dire.
What do the other candidates think about these questions?
I have been trying to ask them for six weeks, and they have not been answering me.
What do Senators Shelby and Sessions and Representative Bachus think about these questions?
I have been trying to ask them for six weeks as well, and they too have not been answering me.
What do you the voters think you should do about all of this?
I want to spend my time before June 3rd talking with you about it, and see if we can figure out what the country should do about it.
