Why do you want to be a U.S. Senator?
Over the last few years I have become increasingly concerned with the direction that our government has been heading and its ill effects on our American way of life. I am very dismayed with all of the career politicians and entrenched interests that dominate the U.S. Congress and the course they have chosen, most especially the outrageous fiscal irresponsibility creating unbearable debt loads for our children, grand-children and their children. All of our basic and fundamental liberties are at grave risk. I decided to step down from my business so that I could work full time to use my common-sense based, real world, business experience to help effect a course correction. After careful deliberation, I decided that the U.S. Senate was where I could be the most effective in that effort.

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.

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.
