Retired pilot running in the NC State Senate District-27. I am a Republican due to the States requirement for a declared political party, but as a veteran, I am not of the red party, or the blue party, I am at the fore front of the new Red White and Blue party working to restore our Government to We the People
I am running to restore the balance of power between the State Legislatures and the Federal Government. This will bring the rules and regulations the government imposes to be responsive to the people of North Carolina. Our United States Constitution limits the things the Federal Government is allowed to do and the rest of the duties are to be done by the individual States in order to make the government more responsive to the needs and desires of We the People. For at least 100 years we have been electing politicians to go to Washington to fix the problems of the Federal Government, when the State Governments would be in a better position to fix them based on the needs of each individual state. The reason the Washington politicians don't want to fix it is because it would finally put an end to the hideous unconstitutional bureaucracy and corruption that has gone absolutely nuclear in our Federal Government.
The US Constitution is a contract between the Federal Government and the people of the individual states. It essentially tells the Federal Government what it can and can not do. The 3 main problems with the Federal Government are the hideous spending, corruption and the unwieldy bureaucracy that has made it almost impossible to be responsive to the actual needs of the people. There is no job, other than the original enumerated powers, that the Federal Government does that wouldn't be operated more efficiently and more cost effectively by the States.
While in the military, I was tasked with coordination of the Reserve portion of the Bosnian Humanitarian Airlift. I worked specifically on the movement of cargo to enable enforcement of the no fly zone to stop the ethnic cleansing . During that year the Air Force Reserves operated independently from the active duty Air Force. I instituted a system of cargo movement coordination that allowed me to move 78% of the total cargo, using only 3 early model aircraft throughout the entire year, never using more than 1 aircraft and 2 crews at a time. The active duty Air Force had as many as 14 newer aircraft, as well as 15 crews working at any given time. As a result of my innovations and simple procedures the Air Force changed a 60 year history of how they operated their largest heavy lift aircraft and now all the C-5 aircraft are in the Reserves saving the military millions every year. I want to bring that efficiency and cost effectiveness to the State Government and through extension the Federal Government as well.
I can't help you if I don't hear from you
