House of Representatives
Missouri District 4

Issues

Health Care:

I will work hard at making health care more affordable and lower cost to our people.  We need lower cost on prescriptions drugs for people that can't afford them.

Health Insurance:

I think the cost is too high for medical, dental, etc.  We need to lower health insurance most for those that need insurance.  People who can't afford health insurance should be allowed to receive insurance at no cost.  Health insurance needs to cover more basics for our children and families.  I think there needs to be more Government funds for assistance for our medical, dental, and eye care programs.

Social Security:

I believe that we need to increase the benefit amount for those receiving social security benefits.  I think the blind and disabled, and others, should have equal rights to the sum of what they need to have if there are any changes because of death and family size. 

We need to keep some money in trust funds and take out payroll takes and put it into a trust fund so they will still have social security when they retire.  We don't want to see social security taken away.  We want to build it and make it stronger than what it is now.

Education:

For Missourians, these are the keys to our state's future, and our Government to provide a quality education so necessary to live prosperous lives.  We must continue to support public education for the future of our children, those who have dedicated their lives to education of our finest resource and the eventual future of our country.

Examining pay systems, and providing the best education materials possible are necessary.

Taxes:

What I have seen is persons wanting to take no responsibility for the need to support vital programs of our country, yet to support only the programs which benefit them personally.  If we lose our concern for the provision of poor and deprived of our country, we have lost our compassion.  Yet we need to cut the amount which people are asked to pay in taxes.  To do this, government must run efficiently at every level.  To do this we all must be watchdogs of the process of all programs.

Special Interests:

An example of catering to special interests has been the fuel companies making huge profits and member of congress looking the other way.  Yes, there are problems with shortages, but this should not lead to massive profits for oil companies.  This is only an example of what needs to be changed.

The Right to Bear Arms:

Our rights have always been important in this country.  I believe it is the State's freedom to determine the concealed weapons system and laws needed to keep those inappropriate individuals from that program.

Right to Life:

I strongly support the ideal that abortions are against God's will.  There are so many personas who would like to adopt a child, children who are not allowed the basic right to live.
