Name one thing you would most like to do before you die:

Look my kids square in the eye on my deathbed and assure them I did everything I could to make the world a better place for them in the things that really matter.

Pets (include names):

Priority Issues:

I told the Range News that with abortion we are living in a "modern day Holocaust." During a talk at Drayton University , I said there are 24,000 people starving to death worldwide every day. I told The Daily Jeffersonian newspaper that we stand at the brink of worldwide catastrophe with Global Warming. I told CBS News in Monterey, California, that you can't heal the country until you heal the family. And I told the Mississippi Press I would work to end the Iraq War, the genocide in Darfur and establish a U.S. Department of Peace.

Publications:

Author of: Back Road to the White House; America's Best Town; America's Best Town 2, Columnist for the News Democrat newspaper and the Lima News (both in Ohio).

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I have spent the past 15 years traveling 200,000 miles around the country researching answers to the issues of our day. I have talked to a multitude of experts and to just as many, if not more, "average citizens" who have had creative, common sense solutions to: saving the environment; stopping war; ending poverty; ending abortion; healing the family; curbing crime; getting healthcare for all... And I believe the platform I've developed, based on this extensive 'Listening Tour' (in it's purest sense), is the best in regard to where America needs to go at this time.

Spouse's Occupation:

Home-schooling mother, campaign manager.
