    I want to reintroduce the Republic form of government to America.

     

    Policies which the nominator knows the nominee supports or in which they have expertise:

    A Democratic Republic:

    Republic – A government that legislates with equal concern for the will and the needs of all the governed.
    Democracy – A government that legislates with heightened
    concern for the will and the needs of the voting majority.

    Democracy is an important part of a government, but it is a terrible way to run it. Its role in a Republic is to select representatives and executives to lead the Republic. The representatives, like the executives in a Republic, do not represent the voters. Federal Leaders represent the nation. State Leaders represent the state.

    In a Democratic Republic, voters do not expect favors for their vote and Representatives lose all sense of obligation to any voter or block of voters.

    How do I know? I learned it in high school. The Republic functioned as such well into the 1960s. Remember JFKs quote, Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country?

    Members of Political Parties in a Republic should utilize their membership only to help voters select good legislatures. Parties have no place in the White House or the Halls of Congress. There they can only cause division, favoritism, and the appearance of robotic leadership rather than concern for the nation or state. Soon legislators will be promising things to get votes or money.

     

    Nominator's thoughts on what would make this nominee a valuable member of a future Trump Unity Government

    I have a record as an innovator. In 1967 I began a computer company that went public in CT. I also started a company that built fiberglass houses.

    I can indicate my integrity in that after creating a computer system for Hartford Insurance Company, they accepted my proposal to sell the product to other companies for a percentage of the sales.

    I am a widow with 4 grown children who will vouch for my honesty.
