Like many of you, my wife and I both work to be able to call Silicon Valley our home. Yet, despite a heavy tax burden, we have no representation in Congress... not even in the People's house, the US House of Representatives.

Every two years we choose our representative in Congress. We evaluate our present representative and decide whether to continue in that direction or find someone new to take us in different direction. It's like coming to a T-junction in the road. For this election, there are primarily three "T"'s to consider:

Taxes + I believe that you will do a better job of investing your money than the federal government will. Terrorism - I believe in the sovereignty of the US and that the number one job of the federal government is to provide for the common defense. Teachers + I believe control of schools should be in the hands of local parents and teachers.
