So, yesterday Herman Cain dropped out of the GOP running. Wow, What a surprise, huh. I personally think that there was so much more to this than what was all over the news media.
I do have a significant issue with him though. If he did have those relationships and other related things go on, why could he not just be honest about it? He would have earned alot of respect that way and maybe he would still be in the race. I firmly believe that even if things are not perfect and none of us are, that honesty is the best policy. That way your past doesn't came back on you later, DUH HERMAN!!
Some of you I am sure have had the chance to read the article written about me by City Weekly. I didn't go out of my way to whitewash things of to make it look like I was some sort of lilly white perfect choice for all people. I have my faults and issues just like everyone and I have used them to become a much better person. If those issues of my past put some people off, that is their choice. I won't have that sort of cheap backdoor journalism shoot me in the foot as I try to do this thing. I want everyone to see just what they are getting from the word go.
I just had this sort of thing happening in my personal life as well. Persons trying to make a judgement about me without having all the facts. I am pretty transparent and think that honesty is certainly the best policy. I try to be a good person the best I can and I really think that there are some significant changes I can personally make as far as the accountability of the Presidential office.
There really is no clear cut choice today for leadership, but honesty is a good place to start. Washington experience is something that Newt professes to have, Mitt says he is a good fit, and John, well, I haven't decided about him yet. Ron is even more out there than I and even though I agree with some things, I still think that we need to get away from career politicians and return to the sort of leadership from within as our founding fathers imagined initially.
I have had to put things on hold while I work out of town, but at every opportunity whild I am at home I will still try to gather the signatures I need to try to be a REAL PEOPLE'S representative.
I only want an opportunity to try to help this wonderful country and to try to restore some faith in the leadership. That can only be done through honesty, integrity and putting your back into it. If you can help me on this quest I will certainly give it my best effort without the silly red hats, blue hats sort of stupidness that we have now.

Oscar Wilde and the future
On a daily basis I receive motivational messages in my email. It helps me retain my perspective on the daily grind and how to best keep myself on the path as well as possibly give me a little ammo to help my friends a co-workers with things when they get tough.
I have heard many things from this site for the past few years and even had a story published online through them detailing my very good friend and the experiences and the lessons I learned from him along the way.
The other day I received this:

The other day I received this:
"Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future."
--- Oscar Wilde
This message had a special impact on my thoughts. This was just the issue that had been brought up to me when I decided to run for President.
My son, who is quite a thinker, asked me if I was ready for the world to view all the things from my past. I thought about it and told him that, I am who I am, no sense in trying to make myself something I am not or to try to hide the poor behaviour that I had in the past, as I truly think this gives me a broader appreciation of the value of good choices. If there are those that refuse to let people make choices and learn from them and forever hold those choices against them, I guess there may be a few out there that will never support me. That is truly their decision.
There can not be a single person in the world that can say that they never made a poor decision. If so they are probably lying to themselves and to all of us. There are also those that try to hide the past so they look perfect in the eyes of men, but to the eyes of God they are still who they really are.
I refuse to whitewash or lie about the poor decisions of my past, but I see them as tests in order to make me stronger and give myself a stronger sense of personal worth and values. Those that really know me understand me perfectly and there can be no compromise in my words or actions.
I see in the news that the Occupy Movement is putting serious strain on the municipal patience and the cities expenses. I also see that there are a few within the ranks that have used this movement to act like fools and be violent and drug ridden just for the expense of cheap entertainment. Why do we not take care of business in a sane and civilized manner? This movement is important and I really think that it can have the desired impact if the movement activists retain control of the members within the camps. There can be no place for public displays of drunkeness or drug use. You still have to be true to the cause and not cheapen your actions with inciting the involvement of the law.
Be loud, proud and above all the true spirit of American values. Keep control of yourselves and exercise your rights, but remain in control of your own destiny and keep your composure.
I have yet to see any public figure of any circumstance have the guts to have any interaction with the occupy movement protesters. All these so called representatives hide behind closed doors and let the troops (Police) handle things instead of trying to find out what the real American public needs. I for one find this to be a perfect example of derilection of duty on their parts and they should all be removed from public office. If they were really trying to fix this country that they all profess to support, why do they not step out of their offices and go see their constituents, the voters of America.
Why, I know why. They are scared and they believe only in the corporate greed and the success of the all american dollar. They have forgotten the faces of the people that put them there.
Time to take this country back from these hypocrites. Time to "Take it Back" and give it back to the citizens.

The Occupy Movement and Americans rights
I watch every day the events unfolding all over the country and the occupy movement that has really taken the country by storm.
I see that MOST cities have decided to have a hands off approach to the protests as long as the persons involved act in a reasonable and responsible manner. There are those few, protesters and law enforcement alike, that have serious behaviour problems.
The First Amendment of the Bill of Rights reads:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
This outlines the proper access and also gives the protesters the proper guidelines that should be followed when Americans are engaged in protesting.
I implore all protesters to read this and truly understand the our forefathers were protesters themselves. They had lived their lives under a Monarchy and had had enough. It was a different circumstance and a really different time then, but the idea was the same. Stand up as a group and express peaceably if possible your dissatisfaction with the powers that try to control you.
As Americans we do have rights, and not the least of them is to be able to express our dissatisfaction with the status quo. We all must remember though, that, these expressions must be peaceable and organized or the entire movement becomes nothing more than an expression of anger and discord.
Do not let the big business and government pressure restrain you. Restrain yourselves and keep on expressing your dissatisfaction, but do so in an orderly and organized manner. You must not quit, but you must be able to control those within your ranks that would do harm to your cause by acting in a violent and rougish manner.
I have taken this campaign and the related ideas that I have very seriously and I ask you to do the same. Keep the pressure on them, but please do not let members of the group cheapen the effect.
Remember, our country was started with the idea that Americans have right to govern themselves, let us control ourselves and effect some REAL change in this country, by using the power of numbers, not the effect of violence. We all can effect change and return the control of this FREE country back to the citizens that live in it.
I ask for you to let me try to be that new leadership as I am one of the millions that have had enough of career politicians serving only big business and themselves while disregarding those that elected them.
This is our country, not just theirs. "Take it Back"

Dictators, jobs and the occupy movement.
So it has been a little while since my last post. I thought I would give you a little insight as to what I have been up to.
Had to head out of town to work. It is really different in a new environment and surroundings. I guess I should get used to it when I hope to move into the White House.
Working out of town is not only a stressful thing for me, but for my family as well. I have to be grateful that my sweetie and our kids are able to keep it together while I have to be away. Glad I get to come home once in a while for sure. I miss being at home everyday, but it is the way of the new economy.
I have seen people that have to make the same sacrifice as far as being away from home just to make ends meet. It is difficult to have to make that sacrifice and hard on the family as well, but the new economy dictates that you have to take the work you can get because so many Americans are truly suffering.
On the other hand, it has given me a chance to see a different state and cities that I had never been to. The people here are really pretty nice and the things that they find important are really the same as they are at home.
They need jobs, a place to live and the security of knowing that they can provide for their family just like at home. Some things never change even with the geographics.
The news I have seen shows the frustration is spreading all over the country. The Occupy movement has spread to nearly every metropolitan area country wide. I truly understand the frustration that they feel and the idea behind the movement shows the distrust that the average citizen has for big business and the banking industry. The banking industry received bailouts and the average citizen paid dearly for that. They look at those companies and see what they recieved, then the people get a forclosure notice from the bank. They can't refinance, or restructure loans due to their job situations, so the banks just end up being property owners and the people that bailed them out get nothing.
I really feel that a revolution of sorts is starting. Not the guns blazing type that you picture from history, but more of a, "we have had enough" type of conflict. Do not give up. The country is made up of millions of independant thinking minds with a mass influence that can not be discounted forever. Stand up for what you believe and make your voice heard. I am not saying become lawless, but hold on dearly to your ideals and keep the motivation level high. Do not let the big money hoarders silence you.
Now on to the killing of Gadhafi. I see that it has been done again. I see that here is another martyred out of touch leader, dead. I fail to see though how this is such a winning deal for us as Americans.
I remember in the not so far off past where our all knowing government supported this ruthless person, and now suddenly they seem to have forgotten what they did in the past.
I understand the global stability is of the upmost importance, but, I for one remember things longer that a week along with the headlines. Our government supports at times regimes that commit unbelieveable atrocities on their own people and when you call the government on it, they claim that we as people must misunderstand the intent.
Supporting a ruthless regime, government or dictatorship, no matter the circumstances, should not be permitted and definately not forgotten by us as citizens in this country. Our leaders are responsible for all of this action and if they are not acting in a manner that we feel is correct, we all have a responsibility to remove them from the office we elect them to.
Well, I think that is enough for now. I look forward to getting back home and resuming my gathering of signatures. I refuse to give up on this as I think I truly have something to offer America and it's citizens. A fresh and grassroots perspective. Something that has been sorely lacking for the last many administrations.
A perspective that really understands what it feels like to work, need and want in modern America.
Persevere and triumph, never give up.

9-11 and the changes in our country
Like most Americans I did have numerous chances this last weekend to observe the various rememberances and solemn ceremonies related to the 10th anniversary of 9-11.
I watched these ceremonies with the reverence and understanding that things in this country are NOT like they were when I was a child.
When I was a child there was patriotism and a sense of comfort amoung Americans. We were the big dogs on the block and we were comfortable in knowing that we were doing the right things within the world. Even though there were struggles in our own society we were a pretty secure people.
All that changed on September 11, 2001.
I remember exactly where I was when this event unfolded.
I had just stopped home to attend to my father that morning and the news was on detailing the first crash into the WTC. I stood there watching the news and could not believe how someone could make such a mistake as to fly into a massive skyscraper in broad daylight.
I was on the phone to my wife and watching the news broadcast when the second plane struck the other building. I knew then that the first crash was no accident.
I do remember that all I could say was "Oh my god, I can't believe this". I stood there with my dad and just absolutely could not believe what I was seeing.
I, like so many other Americans, really had no idea how this event would shape our culture for the forseeable future from this point on.
In World War 2, the Japanese dared not attack America on our own shores. They were assured that the typical American citizen would not just blindly stand by and let such an event occur without swift and sure retribution. We were still the big dog.
Now we have been shown that there are groups and nations out there that not only despise us for our culture and freedoms, but seek to destroy those very things that we hold precious in our daily lives.
They have taken much, but not all from us. They have not taken the American spirit and the willingness to stand up to this type of action.
George Bush said that "They will hear us very soon" and he was correct. I firmly believe that this nation is the greatest on the globe and we need to find the way to get back to being the big dog on the block.
The surge of patriotism and comraderie that occured after the attacks on the WTC was really something to behold. I saw a small glimmer of that this weekend but I wish truly that this would be the norm in our daily lives. We need to be proud of being Americans each and every day. Being a patriot and defending our country should not need ceremony and a special occasion. We should be vigilant and defensive of our culture and way of life each and every day.
I was truly moved by the victims of the tragedy and acts of terrorism that day like many other Americans and I will never forget the innocent victims of that act.
I personally wish for something more to come out of this. I want all Americans to remember that there were many others sacrificed and many others that fought bravely and gave everything prior to that day and there are still many that still do this each and every day just for our right to be FREE!
Freedom isn't Free is more than just words. It is a fact of being the leader in the quest to be the greatest nation in the world.
Yes there are those that despise us and wish us evil, but the American patriotic spirit will never be hidden behind closed doors.
Be proud of your freedom, but remember it does have a price.

Happy Feet and not so happy ratings
I don't know about you, but I have been loosely following the saga of the wrong way Emperor penguin that ended up on a beach in New Zealand.
Happy Feet, if you don't know, was a lost Emperor penguin that somehow ended up thousands of miles from home and thought sand on the beach was snow. It nearly killed him.
The citizens there in New Zealand took him in and nursed him back to health with numerous volunteers and the contributions of many of the citizens and others world wide.
Their efforts resulted in getting him back to health and putting him on a boat ride (very expensive one at that) back to where he could hopefully make it back to where he really belongs.
Just a wonderful story of people doing what they do best, taking care of things!!
I know alot of people just like this, they are the local cruiser community!! No kidding, the giving spirit lives here in America too!
I also have seen just this morning that the popularity results for our current President have slipped to another career low for the administration.
I see that even 2/3 of those that voted for President Obama don't really like the way things are going in this country. Wow, that really is a bummer for all of us.
I can't totally blame the current administration for all the problems plaguing our country right now, but the way they have been handled have certainly not been for the best.
Childish sandbox fighting just for the sake of party affiliations and just to pick a fight. STUPID!
The real losers in this battle have been the citizens of this great country, not their political parties.
If the elected members of our Congress could only take a lesson from those that rescued a wayward penguin and work together to actually accomplish something. I would certainly expect better approval ratings for the bunch of them.

Discretionary law enforcement
With the modern crisis that nearly every city and state currently is facing, I see why there is an issue with enforcement and prosecution of offenders of the law. I also understand that there are issues with manpower, resources and other tools needed to take care of the challenges faced by law enforcement and the judicial system.
What I fail to understand though, is how and by whom are the determinations made as to what laws to enforce today?
If there are laws on our books that aren't cost effective to enforce and they are something that someone in authority chooses not to enforce, well, why are they there?
The reason the laws are there is because they were created to protect the law abiding citizen. The law makers listened to the citizens and created the laws. The enforcement is apparently discretionary?
This is not acceptable. If there are laws to protect the citizenry from opression, discrimination, exploitation or criminal acts, they are not discretionary.
I have seen our own government take the teeth out of immigration reform and give amnesty to those that break the law and are in our country without the legal right. I have seen our government coddle those that would persecute and terrorize us. I have even seen our own government ignore it's own citizens for our best interests, like we are all children and too stupid to take care of ourselves.
If laws are not to be enforced I say get better enforcement, not remove the laws and penalties. I for one believe that the law is best if obeyed and enforced for the betterment of all free citizens and our society.
A lawless society is a failed society, but one with laws that they do not enforce is a joke.
Just my opinion, that's all.
