Policies

Many of you have written to me and have some questions, so I thought I would do a quick rundown of how I run things.

I read every email and reply as soon as possible. Sometimes that means I won't reply for a day or two, but I do get to them all.

Your privacy is of the utmost concern. I don't give out email addresses to anyone, and I don't keep your email address. Once I have emailed you a reply, I delete the old email. I have gotten a lot of hate mail as well, I reply to those as well and they fall under the same email policies. No one besides you and I will know your address unless permission is given by both of us.

I don't delete posts under 99% of the circumstances. If you want to debate my personal beliefs and call names and act like a 12 year old, I'm ok with that. However, threats, or any illegal activities will be deleted and if severe enough, reported to the authorities. For example: If you call me a prick and say I'm full of shit, that's fair game. If you threaten that you're going to harm another person or elected official, regardless of political party, I have the moral and legal obligation to report you to the authorities. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Debate is healthy. Your beliefs may not jive with my beliefs, and that's ok. That's what makes America the greatest nation on earth. We have the right to say what we want to who we want about and subject we want. My family has been in this country since almost the beginning. This country is my home and I will defend it and support it until the day I die. I don't expect everyone to understand my position, but know that I'm always looking out for the best interests of this country and ALL of it citizens.

This is my blog. I try to be as absolutely fair about things, but the bottom line is that I'm the one responsible for this blog, so if you don't agree with what I say or do, use your First Amendment rights and go somewhere else. I can't stand whiners and won't change who I am, what I say, or what I do to appease them.

I call it like I see it. I will call a coward a coward, so if it hurts your feelings that I say something, speak up. I won't care, or change my statements, but I will debate you on the reasons why I reach my position. I will also call out people on "my" side of things. If I see a Republican doing wrong, I will point it out. Corruption, stances on issues, etc, will be spoken about. I will talk about issues that might offend you or you consider taboo: Sex, Religion, Politics, and more are all fair game.

Privacy is out the window when you're an elected official...to a degree. As an elected official, you are a public citizen and thus, don't have as much privacy as your ordinary citizen. Therefore, I will talk about things that can influence your decision making process. The fact that you may be gay, wear women's clothing, or cheat on your wife, means squat to me. The fact that you snort cocaine means much much more.

Well I hope that clears up a lot of the questions that you all have about me and this blog. Of course, I'm probably missing some things that you may want to know about, so you may freely email me anytime you'd like and I'll gladly answer any questions or concerns that you may have.
