Take a look at my resume for work examples and references. (read more)

Evan Bayh says he is for smaller government and less taxes. Yet, he voted for the Senate version of health care reform recently, nearly a trillion dollar piece of legislation. 3 days before the healthcare vote, Bayh sent out an email message to his constituents bashing our government spending.

It seems the FairTax is getting some deep thought in other parts of the world. (read more)

A friend forwarded me an email the other day. I normally don't read forwards but this one I did. My question to the community (the wolrd wide web :-]): Is this story based on a true story? I am curious to know. Here is the email / forward / story.

Last month Nancy Pelosi brought up "tax reform" and the idea of a National Sales Tax. That is the second or third time this year she has brought it up. Not to mention President Obama, he brought it up early in the year.

I decided to write the Democratic Party and encourage them to rally behind Pelosi and her push for tax reform. Below is a copy of my letter (some sources were used from here) to all Democratics members of congress: (read more)

I am pleased to hear that some democrat congress members are beginning  to use sound logic when mulling over the HR 3200 health care reform bill. I am mostly pleased with Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas who recently said she opposes the public option in its current form because it's too expensive. (read more)

As you can tell by my blog I am a FairTax supporter. I did some research recently and found the congress members who "oppose" the H.R. 25 and/or the S 296 bills. (read more)

Here is the fax I sent today to our representatives. If you haven't started reading the Health Care Reform bill (HR 3200), you should. This is the only way we can question the legislation and ask our representatives what different parts of the bill mean and why they support it. I tried to remain professional and party neutral throughout the questions. The questions are real and should not depend on which party I support.

I know you can't believe everything you hear in the media, but from the past 8 months history of bailouts, stimuluses etc, many congress members admitted they didn't read those bills. Let's keep them honest this time around. If they need more time, plead with the Whitehouse and ask President Obama to grant more time to for the Congress to read the entire bill before voting.

I have spent some time trying to find a complete list of phone numbers, fax, and emails to contact any or all of our US Representatives and Senators. With all the congress related websites, I am surprised no one has compiled such a list. (read more)

Like most families, we dedicate the weekend to tidy up the house and do outside work. Yesterday I decided to dig up the east side of the backyard to plant a vegetable garden.

I am somewhat excited to have a vegetable garden, I always wanted to do gardening. There is just something about “living off the land” that brings satisfaction. Maybe it is the work itself; plowing the land, watering the crop, finding ways to remove nearby rodents etc, that brings satisfaction. (read more)

Just about every other day my daughter will say something that is truer than she knows. Like most children she is full of energy and doesn't want to stop. In Portuguese we say "Ela e' electrica" (She is electric or She is like electricity). (read more)
