I am a firm believer in our founding fathers’
concept of a “citizen legislature”, whereby a representative of the
community does their service and represents the community in the state
capital or
Washington D.C.,
and then returns to the community. I’ve always
urged and admonished my friends and colleagues to never fail to vote in
every election…. and preferably for the non-incumbent.
I’ve been a consistent and usually vociferous opponent of leftist
thinking in America
and been a supporter of the Libertarian party and its candidates since
the mid ‘70s. Over those years American politics
and the media covering it has become such an Orwellian stew of newspeak,
misrepresentation, deceit, subterfuge, and dishonest reporting that I
wonder if our constitutional republic will be able to withstand it much
longer
I have had a strong hand in drafting our Core Beliefs, which are
grounded in our founding fathers’ considered reasoning and the best of
American traditions. Those principles are
undisputedly under attack today. For me
personally I could wait no longer to expand the good fight - both
getting the word out to my fellow citizens and strenuously pressing our
case with elected officials. After the 2008
election cycle, solid Americans everywhere knew something was very wrong
with the electoral process. I look forward to
spreading the word, getting as many solid citizens as possible to stand
up and be counted, and vigorously taking our case to entrenched power
before it is too late to turn the tide.

Along with my associates, I
have come to the conclusion that I needed to make a serious decision
regarding the situation we now find our country in.
Like many of you I am very concerned with
the direction the country has taken in the last 18 months.
Like many of you I share the frustration of
not having a voice in the national dialogue and seeing long-held beliefs
about this country regarding the need for a strong military, a free
Capitalist economy and traditional value system come under attack.
With the recent election we have moved far from
the Republic our Founding Fathers created and dangerously close to that
of European Socialism.
I decided I should do something to get have my
concerns addressed since, like yours, they are all too easily ignored by
the politicians who continually lie to us, steal our money and betray
our national security interests.
I hope that you can come to a decision as well.
A decision to commit time, effort and, yes,
aid in raising funds to have your voice heard.
We at Right Principles are committed to doing just
that.
Make the decision to act with us and find your
voice.

I was born and raised in northwestern Germany close to the Dutch border
in a small historic town nestled in the Tecklenburger Land. In 1991 I
had the great privilege of visiting the United States for the first time
and fell in love. I will remain forever thankful to my host family from
back then for their southern hospitality. The Marine Corps felt that I
was qualified to join her ranks a short while later. My USMC career
lasted from 1/25/1993 to 12/4/2000 and I will never forget the many
people I met and friends I've made. It was an honor to serve with the
finest that America has to offer for eight years. The 3rd FSSG was my
home from May 1995 to May 1996 while stationed at Camp Kinser on
Okinawa, Japan. You can imagine that it was a bit of a culture shock to
live in the far east for a while.
When the year in Japan passed, the Commandant of the Marine Corps sent
me to Parris Island, SC. The southern low-country remains my favorite
area in the country to this day. If you've never experienced Savannah,
GA, go. It's quintessential southern. After leaving the Marines, I
headed to Atlanta and remained there to start a "civilian" career.
2004 brought the opportunity to see the metropolitan New York area.
I have always been somewhat politically aware and have become concerned
in recent years. The continued erosion of the principles our founders
worked tirelessly to establish is worrisome. America, to me, has always
served as the shining city on a hill as quoted by Ronald Reagan. We are
an advanced and sophisticated society that entrusts individuals with
vast freedoms and liberties. It is up to each of us to protect them.
I am disgusted when I see people who clearly don't have America's best
interest at heart wearing flag pins, pose in combat zones or surround
themselves with Old Glory to claim Patriotism. Patriotism is much more
than any of those. Patriotism is the realization that America is a place
different than any other. It is the personal identification with values
and principles for which many men and women have bled and died.
Semper Fidelis

My career as a project manager in both the computer and media industries
has led me to believe that,
with the right organization,
important goals can be accomplished no matter how
difficult the circumstances ranged against them may appear.
It is for this reason that I have come together with my associates to
try to organize a movement that will give voice to those average
citizens who have been ignored by the so-called “elites” and to bring
satisfaction to those frustrated with a government that is increasingly
deaf – and even contemptuous – to their most important concerns.
As a person with degrees in both History and Political Science I am
aware that it is easy to speak about “doing something” but very
difficult to actually make it happen.
But the only way to having even a chance of making a
difference is to have a voice in the National Dialogue… and the only way
to have a voice in the National Dialogue is to give people in the media
and in office a reason to listen to you.
The principles we have laid out in our Core Beliefs are the principles
of our Founders; our goal is the restoration of these principles,
which have been trampled on by those who want to rule rather than govern
us. While I have been a supporter of the Libertarian movement and have
voted for third party candidates in most of the elections I have taken
part in,
I have also worked inside the system to try to get candidates on the
ballot who I felt represented the principles of limited government,
fiscal responsibility, low
taxes, traditional
Judeo-Christian values and the absolute necessity of a strong military.
Today, all these principles
are under an extremely powerful attack by the advocates of Big
Government, proliferate
spending, high taxes,
secular values and the oxymoronic appeasement of our enemies through an
absurd, European Socialist
concept called “Soft Power.”
If you care about your finances,
join us.
If you care about your family,
join us.
If you care about your religion,
join us.
If you care about our national security and the brave soldiers that
defend it, join us.
The time for complaining is over; the time for recriminations is past.
It is time to turn off the TV and get off your couch.
It is time to extricate yourself from the poisonous virtual
reality presented by corrupt politicians and media propagandists and
return to the real world of responsibility and accountability and
action.
The time to organize,
speak out, put pressure on
those who purport to represent us to actually do so and to
fight back is now.
Join us,
and together we will have our voices heard.
