I am running for State Legislator, 36th District, Position 2 as a Republican. 

My intention in running for office is to use my abilities to help empower people. For the good of the universe with harm to none, I will use my actions and my words to help shift citizens from seeing themselves as helpless victims to feeling that they are empowered creators.  

Our money-based culture creates victims by the handful. For the most part, this victimization is an only an illusion! The government is not the solution to one’s problems; it is often the cause of the problem. Officials in Olympia, using well intentioned programs, often make situations such as high gas prices worse.  Government programs often unintentionally create more victims, who need ever more expensive programs to help them recover from the effects of the last program. When I am elected to office, I will support programs that help empower people and will oppose programs aimed to just to help victims. For example I recently talked to a highly qualified person who has been unable to find work for the last three months.  He tried to receive help from two state programs, job assistance and help with paying his heat bill.  The state was not able to help him at all.  If I were in office I would end the victim programs of paying for gas bills and expand the empowerment employment program so that all who are out of work can get assistance or training to find a new job.  Of course I will support govenment efforts to help those people (children, elderly, and the mentally impaired) who are unable to help themselves. 

I will run a positive and spiritual campaign. Please feel free to correct me whenever and wherever you discover me not being positive or using negatives.
