Bloomington, MN Town Hall Speech (Early February)

"There are those aristocrats (pause) who talk down the economy, and insist that we the people should invest more in gov't charity. They take a "freeze-it now" approach when looking at the pie. They insist the economic pie is never going to get any bigger, and scare the people into groups to grab as much pie as they can.

American ingenuity did not cease simply because we are in a down-turn. We are the bravest most innovative people on the Earth, and yes we can get out of the welfare Malayes. Cut taxes for the rich and the poor! Stop punishing success and rewarding failure. Making this a priority will turn the page and create a bigger pie for All and not Some.

It is a sad state of affairs when we the people must stand in que to beg the state for money. Americans are also among the most loving, charitable people in the world, and lets turn to their hearts instead of mining their wallets."

I wrote this fairly impromptu at the town hall meeting. Being my first, I didn't realize how under dressed I was, and what these meetings were all about. I was nervous for myself because public speaking was my greatest fear in life, but I was more nervous for the sake of my state, and the direction of my country. Ultimately, I feel this is what the grassroots conservative movement is all about... moving people to do more to improve the nation to bless our kids, and our families as we realize we have been blessed with wonderful gifts from our Creator. We need to overcome fear and come together to oppose the socialist/statist agenda with great pride and enthusiasm. Combing our talents, and motivating each other to extend their talents will help us move forward in an increasingly dangerous world. God bless America!
