The following statements explain the candidates positions on many important topics. The most recent and currently most applicable statements are at the bottom. New statements will be added as the campaign progresses. The candidate encourages people to read these statements and to contact him at Chippete@aol.com if they would like him to appear in person to deliver or explain the reasoning behind any of these statements. He is running in order to educate the public about important issues of governance (including the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights) that have generally been neglected or ignored by the two major U.S. political parties in recent years. Thus, he welcomes opportunities to speak on these important issues.
