It's Time For Washington to Learn from Wyoming
I spent eight years as the treasurer for the state of Wyoming. So sitting heaped in the mess of Washington’s current fiscal irresponsibility is more than frustrating. 2012 welcomes our federal budget with a $1.1 trillion deficit to cope with.

Why I Voted 'No' on H.R. 3962
This bill replaces individual freedom and personal responsibility with big government dependency and coercion.

What About Pre-Existing Conditions?
I personally know many individuals for whom the current healthcare system simply does not work, including people with preexisting conditions who can’t get insurance or can’t leave their job because they’ll lose their insurance. No one should have to make that choice. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and I support immediate tax credits, tax deductions and insurance law reforms...
