Smart Voter Political Philosophy for Thomas A. "Tom" Benigno

Candidate for
United States Representative; District 11; Republican Party

This information is provided by the candidate

As you have read in some of my personal biography, my thoughts are basic. My life experiences are tied in with my Political views. To say that one is disconnected from the other, cannot be. Our whole persona is based on those experiences that you go thru to make decisions for yourself and enables you to make decisions for others.

This is what makes one person a decision maker over another. How you go about decision making is built into that process. It is sometimes called visionary when in fact it is just a solid thinking process. An example: as a child, if put your hand on a stove and get burned you will never do it again. Thus, the learning process starts. In this thought process you try to bring this philosophy to tell others what you stand for. It is hard to do if they have not experienced the burn.
