Why I Decided To Run.

While it is uncertain what the future holds for the this the greatest Country in the history of planet earth or our various states, one thing is very certain which is that unless we are willing to get involved and attempt to make a difference, we have no right to stand around and complain after Election Day when we are subjected to a lot of the same milieu that we have been dissatisfied with in the past.

Maryland has, for lack of a better term, become a one party state. My beloved Montgomery County has become, what is commonly referred to by the National Liberal Media as, the Berkley of the East Coast. As a result of being the primary bedroom community of the Federal Government Employees, and the fact that said career employees of the Federal Government have morphed into a bedrock of liberalism over the past 40 year, by default Montgomery County has in and of itself morphed into the same fortress of liberalism.

This liberalism has lead to the detriment of the quality of life of our once great state. While I’ll concede that like all politicians, liberal prosecutors (especially in Montgomery County) have been more than gleeful to make their biweekly appearances on the evening news to habitually, if not humbly, accept credit for prosecuting some occasional extremely violent act, particularly if it is against one of the 4 protected Politically Corrected classes of hyphenated Americans, prosecutors however appear to only be willing to prosecute the lowest hanging fruit, specifically, the appearance of violence.

As a life long resident of this once secure region of the State, and someone who is presently enduring an intense three year nightmare as a result of sustaining rampant fraud, I have come to learn that those who commit fraud do so primarily due to two facts: (1) that it is rarely if ever prosecuted in this part of our world, and (2) in the rare instance that it is prosecuted the consequences are so acceptably sustainable that it is well worth the consequences of getting caught.

If an individual commits an arm robbery of a convenience store and absconds with the usual $30 - $50, or of a bank and absconds with the usual $3,000 - $5,000 that individual when caught will most certainly be facing no less than a decade in prison; however if that same individual commits fraud and appropriates hundreds of thousands, or in my case millions, the liberalism which so permeates our region states that justice should be excruciatingly deliberative, if at all applied, in light of the fact that no one was violently harmed. Speaking anecdotally, I would have rather taken a bullet to the chest than endure what I have thus far as a result of the fraud inflicted upon me.

It was not until the last session of the State Legislature in which I was asked to testify before the State House & Senate Judiciary Committees that I spent enough time amongst our Law Makers and learned that not every one that is elected to Annapolis is prepared to make the tough decisions to write laws that will remove any and all deterrence from nonviolent Fraud Crimes, so as to dissuade those contemplating such lifestyles from indulging. It is for that reason that I have decided to accept the nomination of the Montgomery County Republican Party and run for the State Senate for District 17. While I recognize that I live in a district that is approximately 70-75% Democrat, I am running with the hopes that regardless of the outcome of the election, the issues that I raise attention to will receive more attention and be addressed in the next session of the State Legislature.
