I've dedicated my personal site towards my independant conservative, Jeffersonian Republican political views and how we must preserve Our American Republic! The global gov't known as the New World Orderwill not prevail under my watch!! The more we, esp. as constitutionalistconservatives, stand up for our country, our traditions, family values and our way of life, we can do what it takes to keep this great ideal going as it should!!
I'm also the founder and President of SpringboroTeaParty.com with the primary goal of reigning in corruption of all levels of gov't from the federal, regional, State, county,township, city or village and finally the school district.
As your Precinct # 29 Captain in Springboro in the 2010-11 term - Warren County Republican Party, I will ensure that your best interests in Conservative issues will always be addressed. I will not vote for any tax increase or candidates that will be pushing for it. I will always vote Constitution First!!!!
If candidates aren't Conservative enough, they will not get my vote. In my view they must stand for Limited Gov't, Free Markets, Fiscal Responsibility, States' Rights, Right to Bear Arms and securing our borders.
"Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." - John Quincy Adams
We are the future of the country and can retake the Republican Party. Those in leadership positions who continue to promote their own self-interests have betrayed that party's long-standing principles of limited government. As a result of these RINO's (Republican in name only), our Traditions as a Nation, our heritage, our culture and most importantly our Constitution is under attack in all three branches of our government.
It is our duty to hold our leaders accountable when they do not take seriously their oath to uphold that revered document. It is up to us, retake the Republican Party, to reclaim it as ours - and our country - and defeat the corrupted leaders and global elites of the New World Order before it is too late.

SOME OF MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS YOUR PRECINCT CAPTAIN in 2010-2011:
My Voting Record this term -
Yea Votes:
I voted forDavid Fornshell as Warren Co Prosecuter against establishment canidate, then asst. prosec. Bruce McGarry.
As a part of our new Conservative/Tea Party coalition, we voted out a lot of establishment figures that were up for votes at the begining of the last cycle.
Voted in support of as well as publically endorsed (via Springboro Tea Party), Debe Terhar for Ohio State School Board candidate.
Per my suggestion to then Chairman Fornshell, the committee now has a 2 min stump speech time for us to talk about any issue we feel that the rest of the committee needs to be aware of. My first speech was in support of Ron Paul for President in 2012.
Voted in support of the Warren Co. Republican Party endorsing Issues 2 & 3. Though, sadly, Chairman Fornshell failed to act on it. See below.
Voted for Chris Koch for Board of Elections member to fill a vacancy that was left in Dec. 2011. Jeff Monroe won the vote, unfortunately.
Nay/Abstain Votes:
Abstained as a NO vote againstJeff Monroe to be new Warren Co Republican Party chair. I feel he his a weak leader and too far establishment for the better good of the party. More of the same old guard.
And I will continue to hold them to account every way and step I can as your representative!
Sonny Thomas and the Springboro Tea Party totally stands by and endorses Ohio State Issue 2 - Collective Bargaining bill and Issue 3 - State nullification of Obamacare!
Thank you to Springboro's own State Senator Shannon Jones for putting forth the SB 5 bill and standing up to the firestorm to get it passed! It is now State Issue 2.
I will not allow a waking moment of my life pass me by not doing something to restore our Republic. "Lock and Load!"
1. Appoint only conservative judges who follow the Constitution and not legislate from the bench.
2. Support the Minute Man project.
3. SECURE OUR BORDERS!!!! Stop the Mestizo Invasion! Troops on our Southern Borders!!
4. Defeat the global elites who wish to destroy our once proud Republic.
I'm also promoting these issues:
I support any peaceful effort towards making Scotland a free and independant nation of her own! - FREE SCOTLAND!
I also support any peaceful effort towards uniting the last 6 counties of Northern Ireland into the Irish Republic! - UNITE IRELAND!
I'm also a strong advocate for Child Support reform and against the fleecing of fathers by extortion for ransom monies! A child also benefits from equal time from both parents. The courts usually siding with the mother just because they bore them for 9 months is a farce! Together we will make these lazy, deadbeat mothers work for their money instead of parasiting off of gov't welfare and having babies for profit!
Do you know of a mother on welfare, Section 8 housing or vouchers programs with income such as Support or income and not paying their share? REPORT THEM!!! Obvious signs are lots of material posessions or large ticket items, same or several men or people staying there for periods of time, esp. overnight. New clothes, concerts, non children's dvd's ect. THAT'S NOT CHILD SUPPORT!!!!
My Agenda:
1. Abolish the Federal Reserve System (END THE FED) and return control over America’s money supply to Congress. In the almost 100 years since the privately owned (mostly foreign global bankers such as the Rothschilds). Federal Reserve System was established we have seen a series of booms and depressions/recessions and the erosion of our purchasing power due to the fraudulent fraction reserve banking system. We feel it is long since time to end this massive ripoff of the American taxpayer.
2. Criminal trials of those really behind the 9/11 attacks on America including those officials who had prior knowledge and did nothing. We no longer believe in the official conspiracy theory of some 6′6? Arab sitting in a cave in Afghanistan causing the events of 9/11, including causing the entire US Air Force to stand down and violating the basic Laws of Physics.
3. Immediate end to the Iraqi War and to the Afghanistan War; full public investigations into war profiteering in both wars.
4. No further wars without a formal Declaration of War by Congress.
5. End all paid and professional lobbying of Congress and the Executive branch of government.
6. Federal financing of federal election campaigns with no Political Action Committees, no spending on elections by any corporation or organization, no donations to political candidates in federal elections exceeding $1,000 per person.
7. No use of computer voting or vote counting in federal elections. all voting to be on paper ballots, with voters using indelible ink on a thumb after voting, all vote counting to be done in public at each voting place, with results publicly posted at each voting place immediately after counting.
8. No foreign lobbying of Congress and the Executive Branch of government including AIPAC.
9. Tariffs on foreign manufactured goods entering America and an abolishment of all tax breaks for off-shoring manufacturing and other corporate activities.
10. Trust busting of the major banks and Wall Street firms and growing monopolies and concentrations of corporate ownership.
11. Trust busting of the concentration of news media ownership.
12. Criminal charges for those responsible for the economic crisis and economic restitution under RICO laws.
13. Criminal charges for those responsible for torture and other violations of the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution, no wiretapping without just cause and a specific individual court order, no viewing of phone/cell phone/Internet records without just cause and a specific court order.
14. No corporate or bank salary or bonus (or combination thereof) over $1 million per year.
15. A full return to Constitutional Law, including no signing statements, no Executive Orders, no federal usurping of state or private rights under the Constitution.
16. A end to the Patriot Act and all its provisions, an end to the full body scanning at airports.
17. No dual nationals in the Executive branch of government (such as the White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel).
18. Full disclosure of Obama’s birth certificate and the nation of the passport used by him to travel to when in school.
19. Obliterate the “Admiralty Courts” and return to 100% civil courts.
20. Eliminate the UCC (Uniform Code of Commerce) with regards to non-commercial “persons”.
21. Eliminate the US Code as it is the actual document that makes 60 million actions (mostly innocent, victim-less crimes) criminal.
22. A new legal document succinctly stating that the government and it’s publicly registered corporations are subservient to human being citizens, not the revers.
23. Bring back classical latin and western history into the school curriculum.
I support protecting all Americans' right to live free and independent.
Our personal liberties have gradually been eroded. The federal government has asserted that it has the authority to mine, collect and store information on the personal matters of American citizens based on security or expediency, often in violation of our 4th Amendment guarantees against illegal search and seizure, and our 5th Amendment guarantees against self-incrimination.
We can prosper and protect our national security without intruding into the personal lives of American citizens. I vow to fight on behalf of preserving our personal liberties. We must repeal the Patriot Act and end the Federal Reserve Act to regain our freedom.
I support a fiscally responsible federal government that does not unfairly burden our children.
Our national debt is fast approaching $12 Trillion dollars, or roughly $39,000 for every man, woman, and child in America. This figure does not account for the nearly $56 Trillion dollars of unfunded obligations that will come due as America's population grows older and Baby Boomers become increasingly dependent on Social Security and Medicare.
Thomas Jefferson said in 1816 "I sincerely believe... that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale." We put the future of our children and grandchildren in harm's way when we refuse to be realistic about the danger of our mounting national debt. I am committed to cutting government spending, balancing the budget, lowering taxes and maintaining a long-term perspective on resolving our current debt crisis. I do not support bailouts or stimulus packages which favor industry or special interests at the expense of ordinary Americans.
I support a sound monetary policy that is transparent to all Americans. Blame for the recent banking and financial industry crisis can be placed directly at the feet of the Federal Reserve and those like Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan who, after the terrible events of 9/11, sought to prop up the American economy by keeping interbank lending interest rates artificially low.
Overspending, overdevelopment and a bubble in the real estate markets were a direct result of the Federal Reserve's actions. While many on Wall Street and in Washington said they "never saw it coming" there were others who were not surprised by the eventual collapse of the mortgage lending market or the collapse of the collateralized and securitized debt and derivatives market along with it. Currently the Fed is doing everything it can to prevent market corrections from occurring. These actions only prolong and intensify the eventual devaluation of our dollar and the destruction of the buying power of the middle class.
This cycle is not new. It is a direct result of market intervention by the Federal Reserve. As long as the Federal Reserve is allowed to continue to protect banking interests as "too big to fail," those corporations behaving irresponsibly will continue to be rewarded for their risky behavior.
It is long past time for Congress to exert its Constitutional authority over monetary policy to ask the Federal Reserve to open its books and show the American people where our money has gone. An audit of the Federal Reserve would be the first step in regaining some control over an institution that has too long been reckless with our money - and our trust.
I support Ron Paul's bill (HR 1207) to Audit the FED and hopefully abolish it and the IRS by repealing the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and abolishing the 16th Amendment.
I support a Constitutional approach to foreign policy that ensures a strong national defense.
We have the most powerful, most advanced military in the history of the world, and when we fight a war we fight to win, boldly, quickly and conclusively. However, in recent decades we find ourselves mired in conflicts where no declaration of war has ever been made by Congress as required by the Constitution. These conflicts are often begun in the name of defending our national interests, but ultimately devolve into long-lasting low level guerrilla policing campaigns that cost us precious human life and resources and inadvertently hand terrorists exactly what they want.
To date we have troops in over 120 countries yet our own borders are unprotected. It makes no sense to fight terrorists abroad when our own front door is left unlocked. Nearly a million illegal aliens cross our borders each year without our knowledge, which constitutes a clear threat to our nation's security. It's time to bring our troops home from Europe, Japan and any other places they are currently not fighting in.
Although often not as well publicized as our military activities are our less-noticed financial interventions. Through misspent foreign aid, embargoes, and special trade agreements, we end up perpetuating a cycle of inefficiencies and impoverishing vast numbers of people. The Founding Fathers warned us that foreign alliances sacrifice our independence and integrity as a nation. In Thomas Jefferson's First Inaugural Address, he proclaimed that America should have "peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations - entangling alliances with none." Today, America's interests are undermined by subtle deference to foreign entities such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, World Trade Organization (WTO), General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the United Nations (UN).
Rather than building military bases in countries around the world or aligning ourselves with those who expect us to sacrifice our interests, we should focus our efforts and resources on eliminating trade barriers in order to promote the ideals of which Jefferson spoke, and so that people of all nations will benefit from the improved standards of living that free trade and open commerce brings.
Basically, term limits appear to be addressing the problem of lecherous career politicians which, to me, are just a symptom of voter apathy and disinterest. I'm not saying I wouldn't support term limits if the people of my district wanted them, but they don't address the underlying issues that lead to a lack of participation by voters in the election process. Term limits further remove the voter from his/her responsibility to hold elected officials accountable. The flip side of term limits is that good politicians (an oxymoron, right?) are tossed out with the bad, strictly based on their years of service.
Not to mention, you need your Barry Goldwater's and Ted Kennedy's to establish poles in which to help gauge where your ideologies are set. Or someone such as Ron Paul whom has been in office nearly 30 years in 2 different sets of blocks of terms to finally come to light what conservatives should clammor for as a champion of the Constitution.
Congress members get such a sweet salary, pension, and benefits it's no wonder they want to stick around forever and ever. Not to mention all the power and political clout that comes from years of service in a public office. Let's cut the salaries in half, eliminate the pensions and healthcare first and see who sticks around because they really want to help the country.
The Constitution only mandates that Congress meet once yearly! So why are our politicians behaving like full-time employees? It's fun to hang out and schmooze in Washington when you're rich and powerful! Not so fun if you have to get back home to your day job to put food on the table. If you took away all the perks of the office, most members of Congress would need to move on to make a living.
I already hear you complaining that then only rich people would hold office because they'd be the only ones who could afford it. I make the argument that a rich person willing to do it for nothing is just fine by me. Besides, middle income folks could afford it, too, if Congress weren't in session all year long.
Another issue with term limits in the House and Senate is the committee system in place now is seniority based. Term limits, in theory, may result in committee chairmen who are relative rookies. I agree that there doesn't need to be a Capitol full of career politicians, but one or two of them need to know what's what to be effective. Speaking of the committee system, it needs to be merit based anyway, and not based on seniority, like most well managed businesses in the information technology age.
The issue at hand is how to keep voters involved and caring enough to participate in this process so that 'BAD' politicians are voted out on election day. That is a subject for a whole other post. The answer, though, is not term limits, which puts the election process on near 'autopilot' and disengages the voter from the election process even more.
And lastly, Congressional members should be beholden to the same laws in which they pass. No exceptions. Let's see how many tax hikes and benefit cuts they impose when it hits them too!
I support parents, educators, and local leaders in their efforts to make decisions on how best to educate the children in their communities.
"Liberty, according to my metaphysics is a self-determining power in an intellectual agent. It implies thought and choice and power. Liberty cannot be preserved without general knowledge among the people. " - John Adams
Prior to 1980, our public schools were run and paid for by each state. Local school districts controlled the curriculum, teachers' wages, retention, and school schedules. With the creation of the Department of Education came federal intervention, mostly in the form of standardized testing. Parents, teachers, and administrators complain that the current system sends our education tax dollars to Washington where a portion of that money is returned to us conditionally. Ohio's roughly 22% drop out rate is but one indicator that the system statewide is not functioning. Federal control is the problem - not the solution.
I'm also a huge advocate of Homeschooling as a primary or supplimental form of education. I'm opposed to any and all teacher's unions, State or national.
"Why do they teach social studies in elementary school? Shouldn't I be taught civics first, so I know what it means to be a citizen before I know the differences between them?!" - Sonny Thomas
I support protecting Americans from unfair and unreasonable taking of their wages and income through excessive taxation.
Those who claim to be conservatives must always support the principle of keeping taxes low. Low taxes are good for average working men and women because they encourage saving, spending, and investing. They are also good for businesses because lower taxes encourage both economic and job growth.
I support in principle the proposed consumption-based Fair Tax introduced in recent years. However, the 16th Amendment authorizing the federal income tax must first be repealed.
I support your right to determine your own healthcare.
Those in a free society must absolutely decide for themselves what kind of care they want when they are ill and by whom that care should be given. This includes the right to seek alternative remedies for care and the right to refuse care altogether.
In recent history, however, the government and the healthcare industry have become increasingly interdependent and intertwined. So much so now that many of our tax dollars go toward government sponsored healthcare programs and initiatives. This leads to Georgians receiving back only a portion of tax dollars sent in to Washington for healthcare with many strings attached.
While it may be difficult to untangle the alliance between the federal government and the healthcare industry, I believe over the long-term it is ultimately the only way for healthcare to become affordable. Alternative plans currently touted by GOP leadership do not go far enough in addressing the issue. I want to support a real alternative.
Right now in the House of Representatives good, solid healthcare-related legislation has been introduced that would:
Provide a tax credit for 100% of health care costs (source: HR 1495)
Provide a tax credit for premiums for High-deductible Insurance Policies that are connected with a Health Savings Account (source: HR 1495)
Allow seniors to use Health Savings Account funds to pay for Medigap policy (source: HR 1495)
Make all Medicare expenses tax deductible (source: HR 1495)
Forbid the government from forcing anyone to buy health coverage (source: HR 2629)
Allow citizens to purchase health insurance across state lines (source: HR 3217)
I will support legislation that combines these proposals into a comprehensive health freedom bill that will put you back in control of you and your family's care.
I oppose forced vaccinations for the H1N1 flu virus, when the data thus far shows it to be far less dangerous than seasonal flu. Likewise I oppose any forced vaccinations for HPV, especially as evidence has not sufficiently proven that it prevents cervical cancer. These decisions should be between you, your family and your doctor, and not made by bureaucrats as part of a cleverly crafted government marketing program for commercial products.
I also support eliminating restrictions on free speech in labeling for those food products, vitamins, and alternative medicines that are prohibited from claiming health benefits despite mountains of publicly available research which support such claims.
Jobs
Currently we do not have a free-market system in the United States. We have a managed economy where the government through tax policy (primarily the individual and corporate income taxes) and control of the prevailing interbank lending rates via the Federal Reserve favors or protects certain industries and businesses. This is called Corporatism or Mercantilism. Some might go so far to call it Fascism or Socialism. Whatever you call it IT IS NOT CAPITALISM. Capitalism is not responsible for the technology bubble of the early 2000s, the housing industry bubble of the mid 2000s, or the failure of the financial industries in the last year.
The key to economic growth, and, in turn, job growth, now and forever is removing all government imposed barriers that impede or prevent business and industry from conducting business. Take, for instance, the barrier of corporate income tax. The corporate income tax is not paid by corporations but by consumers as part of a product or service's price. Corporate income taxes are only paid by those industries who conduct business within the U.S. This ultimately drives corporations out of the country, and makes domestic prices uncompetitive.
Our campaign is focused on creating what we are presently calling a 'Five Year Turnaround Plan' for Ohio jobs. This proposal is not about focusing power in government through central planning, but unleashing the innovative American spirit and encouraging ingenuity. We will empower entrepreneurs and small and home-based businesses by encouraging our state legislators to remove many of the licensing requirements and ending zoning restrictions. We will also eliminate restrictions that prevent private sector industry from competing against industries that are right now subsidized by the federal and state governments. Think of the way Federal Express and UPS have overtaken the role of the post office and you'll have an idea of what we want to accomplish.
Another way we can end the government's influence on the free market is to repeal the 16th amendment, the authorization of the progressive income tax. The income tax is a mechanism for wealth redistribution and is used to manage people's purchases via tax exemptions, credits, and deductions. Instead we will support a consumption or sales tax which would force those operating outside the current income tax system to pay for the public services they use for free today. A sales tax is a practical measure by which we will gradually wean ourselves off of our dependence on federal and state services. By slowly lowering the percentage of the tax over time, the size of the government overall will shrink and government services will eventually be returned back to state control or ended entirely.
I support the right to self-defense. The 2nd Amendment assures that each citizen has a right to keep and bear arms to defend his/her life, liberty, and property. I will always vote to protect that right.
I support protection of the unborn.
I support individual liberty. As such I believe that the individuals whose liberties are most vulnerable are the unborn. We must agree to protect them and their right to life.
For starters, I support abortion resorted back to the States to decide. I also do not believe that it should be a sole form of birth control. However, regulation of abortion in the medical field does give attention to medical issues if an abortion is to take place so that in the event of one, it is done properly with the upmost importance to medical care.
I'm also in support of benefit reduction if a woman gets pregnant while on welfare as a penalty. Too many women have kids on the taxpayer's dime and should be frowned upon.
I support Traditional Marriage Marriage is between one man and one woman. Period, end of discussion! "If you want to know about a man you can find out an awful lot by looking at who he married." -Kirk Douglas
I do not support any Gay or Homosexual agenda in Education or in public forums
If someone wishes to have an 'alternative' lifestyle, that's all fine and good. Keep it where it belongs, in the closet! What you do in your own home is your business, but when you take it outside it effects everyone.
I abhor drug use of any kind
I do not believe in the use of any illegal or controlled drug usage. However, if you must do it, stay home and do not leave to which you might endander yourself or others.
