And no, these solutions do not include continuing to put band-aids on the problems that we face as a nation.

Our leaders, both Republican and Democrat incumbents, have for years addressed symptoms and not the root causes for our problems and that is why we are where we are today–on the brink of economic disaster.  What separates my platform and life experience as a candidate for the U.S House from most of the incumbents in Congress includes the following:  1) I have no ties whatsoever to Wall Street so you can rest assured that I will be representing the majority of ordinary Americans first and Wall Street second  2) I am trained in one of the world’s most effective problem-solving methodologies–TRIZ.  3) I’ve been a self-employed writer all my life so I know what it means to be a very small business owner.  As a woman in business, I know only too well from first-hand experience job discrimination based on gender–although I”m happy to say that conditions in this area have greatly improved over the years.

In setting up this site I plan to have sections that will give my constituents the opportunity to offer their solutions to the serious issues that are facing our nation such as health care, immigration, the war in the Middle East, the crumbling infrastructure of our nation and more. We do have many challenges facing our nation today and anyone who thinks that Congress has been doing a good job for the past 20 years has simply not been paying attention.

In getting out and about in my district (in which I have lived for the past five years), I will be seeking out those 144 Texans in the Third US Congressional District who are slated to unnecessarily die in 2010 because they don’t have health insurance.  I would like to know who you are, if in fact, you do exist, and more importantly, what I might be able to do to assist you in getting the help you need.  No one in the USA should be dying from lack of health care insurance–especially in the Third US Congressional District of Texas which is the second richest district in the state of  Texas.

I look forward to meeting you.  On February 13 I will be at the Women League of Voters Forum at noon in Plano Texas.
