@JimN2010 I couldn't agree more....

@JimN2010 What I have to offer? 

"thats all he's going to offer" response

Are asking a question about how do real citizens run for office?  Because of the politically correct movement we only have people running for office who either have no faults (which is untrue... they are just straightlaced to the point of boring) or people who can raise a lot of money...

A democracy wants real citizens who face real problems and understand what real people deal with.  So many people I talk to won't run for office because they don't want to put their families through smear campaigns that focus on issues that belong in the private sphere.  Citizens shouldn't be afriad of running for office... thats one thing I hope I can inspire in others by running for state house.  Its time for citizens to take back their government from professional politicians who can raise money and put keeping their job over representing people and getting things done for the people.
