John 12:24 Amen, Amen, I say unto you unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.

Isn’t it overwhelming that today we are living and breathing the fruits of the blood shed for our Liberties.

I thank you Veterans who served God and Country for my sake and for the sake of my family, without even knowing our names, so that we could wake up every morning and freely express our religion.

And make no mistake about it, we are a nation under God! With God as our banner there is no enemy who can defeat us!

Thank you Veterans for preserving our right to assembly, and freedom of speech so that we can speak freely and openly on truth and morals with out fear.

Thank you Veterans for preserving our right to defend our homes and children from evil with our right to bear arms.

Thank you for defending our right to bear children.

Thank you veterans for preserving our right of freedom of enterprise so that we can make the best pizza in the world.

Thank you too for preserving our right to set down our tool belt and run for political office!

I take the sacrifice of our veterans as a personal sacrifice for me and my family, as we all should.

Andrew Jackson said in his farewell address in 1837
“But you must remember, my fellow citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of Liberty and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing. It behooves you, therefore, to be watchful in your states as well as in your federal government.”

It is our duty then, when we see that our government is acting against the best interest of our nation, we must stand up, set down our tool belt and fight for the freedoms that tyranny always seeks to tear away.

My husband Bobby and I realized that we can no longer complain of what others do, we must take action to get our country back on our Constitutional track.

I want our veterans to know that Bobby has taken responsible advantage of the rights that they have preserved for us.

We know that our veterans hearts are heavy with the vocation that God has set upon them, and we pray for them everyday. God loves that you have answered your call to duty and a great reward awaits you.

My husband is the reality of the freedoms you sacrificed for. Hard work, perseverance, and fiscal responsibility equal prosperity that only our country can provide. The prosperity that our veterans have preserved for us.

With the help of his sons, they built our Pizza business from the ground up. Doing most of the labor himself. After getting a bid on the plumbing, it was running way over budget, he decided to dig the 6ft deep, 20ft long trench for a drainage pipe. He applies this kind of strategy to all that he does. If he can do it for less without compromising the quality he does it.

When we built our home Bobby and the boys did most of the work. Towards the end he was tired and really ready to let someone else take over. He got a bid for the soffit and it was going to cost 2000.00. He priced out the materials, and did it himself for 700.00. Bobby and the boys built the equity into our home and our business with their brains and brawn. I know that he will do the same when it comes to our country and your tax dollars.

Fiscal responsibility is engrained into his character.

A long with being fiscally responsible he has a truly generous spirit. If he sees a need he scrapes together what he can and gives ‘til it hurts. He doesn’t apologize for this he just says “Don’t worry honey, it’s only money and I can always make more!” His generosity is done in a quiet manner, he really tries hard not to tell his left hand what his right hand is doing.

My husband is a man of un apologetic faith and lives his life that way. He has raised our children to be the same. They are not afraid to speak up when they see an injustice, whether it is in the hallway at school, in our community, country or world.

When he was visiting with Brad Halbrook from Shelby county: Brad told him we are pretty simple down here, there are three things we need from you if you want our vote; Jesus, babies, and guns” Bobby replied, “Well I go to church at least once a week, I’ve got 9 children, and I have 6 pistols and two rifles”.

He has raised our children to be truth seekers. Bobby doesn’t settle for the information fed to him, and neither do they. If Bobby has a question or is unsure of something he digs in researches and finds the truth.

If some one tells him something that isn’t true about his faith, his country, the constitution, taxes, what ever it is, he looks it up! Bobby confronts falsehoods with the facts.

Bobby is rooted in his love for God, his country and his family and neighbors. He loves hard work and loves to dedicate himself to things greater than himself. He wants what is best for all. That is why my husband is running for congress. With prayer and perseverance we will get this done!
