Why do you want to be a U.S. Senator?
Like many Coloradans, I am deeply concerned about the direction our Nation has been heading over the last 8 months. In this past year, there has been a massive explosion in the size and scope of the federal government. The federal government has seized control of car companies, banks, and insurance companies. Now, the federal government is attempting to take control of one-sixth of the American economy in the form of healthcare reform. All the while, Americans are being saddled with burdensome new taxes and unprecedented debt and thousands of lost jobs. In the process, we are losing our individual liberties and freedoms. I cannot sit idly by as this happens. I want to bring a strong Colorado voice and conservative Colorado values back to the United States Senate.

Why do you want to be a U.S. Senator?
My grandparents emigrated from Norway to America in the early 1900’s for opportunity. My grandfather opened a shoe repair shop in Greeley in the 1930’s for opportunity. If this government continues to recklessly spend money on social programs and creates massive deficits, my children and grand children will not live in the same land of opportunity that my grand parents lived in.
As senator, I will fight to control spending, a limit government intrusion in businesses, doctors’ offices and to create jobs and spur our economy through the private sector, rather than through a bloated federal government.

To give the people of Colorado an actual citizen representative. An individual who is willing to listen and respond to the state’s citizens; who is willing to stand strong for his principles against lobby organizations and special interests. I believe the citizens of this state want a representative not interested in becoming a career politician, someone who will live with the same laws they vote in for our state, someone who will respect our military and act in their best interests. My trips to visit our House and Senate representatives have convinced me we/I can do better.

I don’t WANT to be Senator, I see it as my DUTY to be Senator to help save the country, and re-start prosperity. I’d much rather be an intern-resident in medicine than Senator.
I see a crying need for fiscal, engineering, and medical sense in our government –and I have a uniquely broad technical background lacking in Congress. Unless we get someone with sense in the Senate, the country will continue down the drain. The worst possible future is the status-quo. SO – The plan is to run for office, straighten out the mess, and get back to civilian life.
