My Pledge to the People of America and
The Constituents of District 23 in Florida:

I will strongly support our Military.

I will strongly Support all Law Enforcements Agencies.

I will strongly support our Intelligence Agencies.

I will Fight to Lower Taxes, reduce corporate and Capital Gains taxes, reward corporations with tax cuts and give them incentives to keep jobs on American soil. Cut Government waste, prevent appropriations bills from including unrelated projects, and immediately discontinue the practice of earmarks to restore fiscal responsibility. Simplify the tax code to offer a one page tax return, abolish the Death Tax and Alternative Minimum Taxes. Protect the Environment, Vote to eliminate Caps on Domestic Oil Production. I will vote against all bail-outs unless strictly necessary to keep jobs in our country.  

I will fight to have term limits for both: the US Senate and the House of Representatives.

Foreign Policy:

America spends 700 billions dollars a year in Foreign aid; a great part of those funds (U.S taxpayer’s money) is given to governments who are not real allies of America, in fact some of these governments really hate us.

A government program created by President Dwight David Eisenhower and signed into Law on July 10, 1954, when Eisenhower stated that the legislation's purpose was to: "lay the basis for a permanent expansion of our exports of agricultural products with lasting benefits to ourselves and peoples of other lands.”

In 1961 President Kennedy renamed the program “Food for Peace”. I have seen first hand the funds generated from this great program stolen and pocketed by Foreign Officials. I will work hard to make all governments receiving foreign aid from our country, and benefiting from the PL-480 Program, fully accountable and responsible for every American taxpayer’s dollar we spend abroad.

I will help shape our foreign policy to make it work effectively, creating friends instead of enemies for America. We are in danger of loosing all our friends, not only in the Western Hemisphere but all over the World. I will work hard to reverse that trend, as I have experienced first hand the arrogant clumsiness of some of our top officials working abroad.

America must remain Strong militarily and economically but also understand it is in our best interest to back up friendly governments and work with them, rather than “puppets” that have never been able to help their people or their country.      

Immigration:

By changing the way we conduct our Foreign Policy, if we do it in an effective and intelligent way, helping foreign governments to work effectively for the welfare of their citizen, it will also keep the citizen of those counties at home and will greatly diminish the flow of illegal aliens coming to this country. We must and we have an obligation to make those governments accountable and responsible for the welfare of their citizens, instead of coming to our country’s capital to lobby for such things as: TPTC – work permits - for the citizen of their respective country.

We must deny entry visas to the United States of all foreign officials and their cronies stealing their country blind and coming to spend their stolen fortune here in the States. The small benefits we might gain by allowing them to do just that, is grossly outweigh by the heavy price we pay to support illegal aliens fleeing countries impoverished by these irresponsible “leaders”: It is costing us, some 340 billions to deal with the onslaught of the 12 millions + illegal aliens now in the US.

Education : 

Almost every school in the 23^rd District has a failing rate of over 50%. We have to make sure that we give the school district an upper hand in school’s curriculum and provide more security and better pay for teachers. Also provide school vouchers to all students whose parents would wish to have them attend better schools while we work to strengthen the school system of every school in the District to provide better education.

Allow open market purchase of health care insurance throughout the US, rather than restrict options by state and other market driven solutions. Strengthen the Medicare program for our seniors, and provide Medicaid to those who can’t afford health Insurance, making sure that the program is not abused by illegal aliens and those who can definitely afford to pay for their own Insurance. Make sure we provide health care and prescriptions funding for all Senior citizen born or residing legally in this country. Too many of them are not able to purchase badly needed prescriptions drugs, while collecting just straight Social Security checks.       

We must require “E-prescriptions” only to eliminate fraud and errors.

Right to Life:

I deeply respect and support the Sanctity of Life. I have seen and suffered personally repressive regimes overseas and seen them assassinate, repress and murder their own citizen. I lost 13 members of my own family in a country where assassins at the service of a government, supposedly “elected” to protect their citizens, was instead installing a repressive form of dictatorship. Having witnessed and suffered what very few human beings have experienced in their Lifetime makes me an expert in the matter. What others read in book and talk about casually, I have seen and suffered personally just like the survivors of the Holocaust of Hitler’s Germany: Definitely: I have the deepest respect for the Sanctity of LIFE from the time of Conception.

Economy:

On the economy, we need to fight, encourage, help and promote small business development, growth, and solvency.  These businesses are the backbone of our economy. Also, we have to promote the easing of lending to credit worthy individuals with great ideas and solid plans and this will do far more good for our economy than will big government bailouts. I will fight for small businesses in the District to flourish and succeed.

Support for our Troops:

We must ensure that Troops funding must NEVER stop as long as American soldiers are deployed in a war zone.

Provide health care funding for any deployed soldier serving or injured in the line of duty as a fully funded annual budget line item.

VA mortgage funding should include a credit equal to a 10% down payment for a first home purchase.
