[Pierson]

This will be my first Presidential election. I have worked and received a paycheck since I was 15. I have watched too much of my money go to the government and I have not seen good things happen in my state (which is controlled by Democrats in the Legislature and the Governor’s Mansion.) Some people say “Tax Cuts for the Rich” look at what Bill and Melinda Gates have done with their Foundation, they have given $7 BILLION out since the inception of the foundation. Just think of what they can do with a lower tax rate. I am a firm believer in the individual. The government does not know the best things to do with my money. I do.

I will happily put my X in front of President Bush. Why? Let’s talk Terrorism. When the WTC was bombed the first time, did the President do anything about it? No, he (Clinton) sent a couple of missiles into an Aspirin factory in the Middle East. President Bush following the attacks on 9/11/01 laid out a decisive course of action and executed it. We liberated an oppressed people in Afghanistan and Iraq.

It is my belief that President Bush will keep the country safer and make it more prosperous than Kerry.

Could I go into character bashing here? Sure. Do I choose not to? Yes.

Would I like to see a smaller government? Yes. But do I see changes doing to the changing nature of the world. Yes. Do I see our government adapting? Yes. Is this the best place to live in the world? I would argue that.

In how many other countries can we have a discussion not only like this, but also be involved in the programs we like, and be free to do what we want?

If any of you want to argue the Patriot Act, please ask yourself first, “How have I been impacted by the Patriot Act?”

OK… I normally keep my political beliefs somewhat to myself… But I have spoken and will now go back to talking about robotics!
