Our country faces many challenges, and the road ahead for our great nation is going to be tough. Turning our economy and society back to the productive and successful model that we all grew up with is going to require hard work.

There will be difficult decisions that must be made by Congress which should be based on liberty, free enterprise, and a firm commitment to the ideas, principles, and wisdom of our Constitutional Republic's Founding Fathers.

Together we can begin to restore the people's confidence in their elected officials, but we must elect men and women of strong moral character, with a commitment to ethical behavior and a willingness to serve. I believe I can be that representative for you in Washington.
