et al.
Before the critics and pundits throw their
darts and -arts, let me set the record
straight on a few matters.
In 1992, an elegant, elderly lady at a
southern Maryland candidate forum asked me "why (I) felt qualified
to be a Senator". My response was, "I'm over 35 years of
age. I'm a resident of Maryland. I was born in the U.S.A.
(Chicago). I'm not an attorney." She agreed with me that I
was qualified.
I hope you agree on that, too!
At age 10, the Milwaukee Sentinel,
now part of the Journal Newspapers, ran an article about me as a
district distribution team captain with the quote that "I wanted to
be a Senator" later in life. My twin and I shared that
leadership and found out what leadership responsibility was - that
when weather was bad, we had 16 newspaper routes to deliver before 7
a.m. if the others didn't show. Our territory was Jewish to the
South and Catholic to the North with mixed ethnic groups scattered
throughout. We were brought up Presbyterian, the
"Presidents' religion" I'm told.
I visited Ripon, Wisconsin - the birthplace
of the Republican Party while in Junior High school and borrowed Abraham
Lincoln's words in a run for class President - "You can fool
some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people
all the time".
This Republican precept has proven the
Democratic ideology wrong over, and over, and over again. But they
keep trying. Notice, how they (the class of nine clowns plus the
unannounced queen clown) all think they'll make socialism the issue next
year, and not one of them understands where the money comes from or how
leadership develops (not from media polls).
I learned first hand how socialism works
while overseas at the request of the Soviet Union to bring SofTool
USSR '90, a
computer application show, to Moscow under the auspices of the U.S.
Commerce Department with concurrence from the U.S. State Department
and U.S. Defense Department.
In fact from 1989 to 1990 I was involved
with a three-country, joint venture that published a business newsletter
(USSR Business Reports) from Moscow on Fridays, faxed to Canada
for distribution on Monday via fax to American subscribers. My
archive has all issues from that period documenting the Dumas' trials and
tribulations over President Gorbachov's philosophies in democratizing
Russia.
As an aside, when returning from St.
Petersburg in 1991, I arrived in New York to hear the ABC Canadian
anchor, Peter Jennings, ask an executive's wife what she would like to
ask the President to do during that slight recession. She said,
"extend our unemployment benefits". I said,
"wrong answer" I had just left a country that went from
government reliance to capitalism where they celebrated in a
"change of flag" ceremony over the Kremlin.
As part of Conferences and Expos,
I organized, staged and solicited 500 western companies to exhibit and
present technical seminars at SofTool USSR where I predicted
in a Novesti 1 (Channel one on Moscow TV) interview upon arrival at Sherementivo
Airport that there would big changes in the Soviet Union
within five to ten years because of the information exchange resulting
from this event at the VDNK (Peoples' Achievement Park).
It went more rapidly than I anticipated as they networked to
the world and within eleven months plus five days a big change occurred.
There was no more Soviet Union. Good thing for the world! But, instead
of one client I now had fifteen through my company ContactNet.
It was kind of like...when my plan to improve
perceptions of the militia in America in 1973 was accepted and
I traveled to all the states and territories training Recruiters in public service
advertising instead of one or two Headquarters at the Pentagon, I had
106.
You see, I became
an account director with several advertising agencies contracted to provide
recruiting advertising to the seven military services. Instead
of dealing with one office, the Chief, National Guard Bureau, I
created a 9-man team to service each State's Adjutants General Office
and each of their Guards - Army National Guard and Air National Guard
(106 clients when including the three territories). As a pilot I
was able to meet with 33 states each quarter or 66 clients.
My credentials
are from the real world.
I've had several people try to adopt them for themselves, but they
couldn't back 'em up with details. It included an Army Colonel
using my resume as his, a Corporate Director claiming my
accomplishments, a client presenting my skills as his for his personal
gain, and several candidates mimicking my knowledge as there's. So here goes...
...I was born three days
before World War II broke out at Pearl Harbor. I lived through the
Korean war during my grade school years, and the beginnings of Viet Nam
in my late High School and early College years. Was asked by
Cambodia's President Lon Nol and his brother General Lon Non to produce
a video on developing their country's natural resources. And, I helped end
the cold war through three major events - I can't talk about them or I'd
have to....
I studied
electrical engineering and broadcasting at the University of
Wisconsin and earned my pilot's license on alternate academic days
whiling carrying 21 credit hours. Now with over 1500 hours I carry a
commercial/instrument ticket and have chartered my planes and piloting
to several high visibility world leaders for business and holiday trips.
I worked my way through school as Community
Affairs director of our campus radio station (WUWM-FM/TV). I helped put
it on the air while
hosting three radio and two television shows on commercial stations
(WOKY, WRIT, WEMP, WTMJ-TV, WITI-TV, and WISN-TV) in the
Milwaukee viewing area.
In 1966 when Pope John V brought his Liturgical
Music Congress to Milwaukee and Chicago it offered me a
remarkable experience. At first I thought it was a joke when a
Dick Snow
phoned the station asking if we could broadcast it.
I had to make a decision about his request because our advising
Professor was on sabbatical, so I said, "Yes, what is it?'
[5th International Church Music Congress -the Olympics of sacred music]
We
had two weeks to run equalized phone lines from eight locations into our studio.
Staff up our engineering crew for 49½ hours of live coverage from Chicago and
Milwaukee over a week's time and learn to work in 17
languages. I anchored the event and conducted interviews at each
venue. Then I packaged it in the 17 languages for each
participating country. Now it is in The Vatican's archives
and my basement.
I must admit to all of you that the
first political convention I attended was Democratic - it was
mandatory at the time. I was a Specialist in the 961st Combat Engineer
Battalion (USAR). We were activated to secure the Democratic
Convention from the radical Democrats on the heals of the 1967 riots in
Chicago, Milwaukee and Detroit.
My son was born in 1967 and almost killed
during those riots in Milwaukee before the curfew was enacted. Had it not
been avoided through my foresight regarding the tensions, ugh. He was less
than a week old at the time. Scary stuff.
I missed the Kent State incident, but 10 years later had
to bail-out Ohio's National Guard from the bad press. Come to think about it, I had
to bail-out the Michigan National Guard from bad press regarding the
Democratic interference in the Republican, Detroit convention, too.
That's when Bush (41) became Vice Presidential to Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan. I was Aide Decamp to the Adjutant General and
Major (Commander) of the 126th Public Affairs Detachment - MIARNG.
My dad worked for the Post Office after
leaving the Navy as Postmaster at Great Lakes in the early forties.
My mom worked retail until killed by injuries in a head-on collision
while driving to work five years after my dad died from a stroke due to
a railroad accident. He would have been proud of my involvement with NASA
during Apollo 11 through Skylab III.
My military career and
it's diversity is extensive.
My close ties to the Navy came together when I took on the
marketing challenge for the U.S.S. Annapolis Commemorative Committee
to raise funds for the commissioning and launching ceremonies at Groton,
Ct.
I've helped the Navy before with
advertising and when I commanded the 356th PA
Detachment - USAR - my unit created a multi-projector slide presentation in 1972
for CINCLANT (Commander in Chief Atlantic), to justify costs of Joint
(service) Exercises like "Solid Shield" at Camp
Legune, NC to the Congressional Armed Services Committee.
In 1987, I was assigned to General
Christ's office at Central Command (CENTCOM) to help develop briefings
and plans for projected events in the Persian Gulf and Iraq.
Its shield resulted from my analysis of its mission and its rendering off
my computer for inclusion in a slide (pre-PowerPoint) briefing.
If you'd like to help
my campaign,
you should know that without spending a dollar, I received the one votes
of
522,000 voters in last year's Comptroller race
after winning every County in the Republican
primary.
In 1988, I was the only challenger left
after the other 13 Senate candidates failed to find supporters to
sponsor them in a special election to confirm Alan Keyes as challenger
after Tom Blair backed out.
I received support from 8
counties to enter that Special Election and spoke for 1.5 hours
encouraging the Central Committees to support their candidate with
enough funds to go up against the incumbent who is once again up for
involuntary retirement.
It was after that election that I had the
opportunity to meet her staff at a luncheon where they told me she was
glad Keyes won the nomination because she knew she could beat him.
In
1992, the next election, he reappeared and bad mouthed Maryland
Republicans at the National Convention on national TV because they wouldn't give
him campaign monies to build his home in Darnesville. After all,
W.R. Grace did.
Now, we still have the sleeping Greek as junior
senator because Keyes burnt the bridges instead of campaigning. To
make matters worse, "Sauerbrains" will become Senior Senator from Maryland until
2006.
Over the following several years I
entered several campaigns
to test my name recognition and watched it grow while I used controlled
media to put out my message and not let the liberal media build a base
for opposition.
Well, we've got a tough one this time, but she
is vulnerable as is her "sister" Hillary. Their values are lacking and
we can no longer afford either of them. Both must go.
Speaking of the previous President, she was
upset with Bill because he had the affair with Monica and because
several other famous Democrats who had affairs were ousted during
their primaries so, she put her spin on it in a novel to build confidence
among women voters. All her girl friends left when a true
leader of the free World was elected in 2000.
I just hope women voters aren't as gullible
as Disney's ABC group, the publisher of the novel and ABC News-the promoter
of the fraud, thinks they are. All
those tears over her estranged spouse because he could lose her the
Presidency. Oh, my!
Thank you for reading this far. Please
copy and forward it to everyone you know and those you don't know but
associate with.
Congratulations are in order -- you reached- The
End. Oops! "To be continued" before the General election
in 2004.
I ask you for your one-vote.
