America is the greatest country in the world! The opportunity and hope it has provided to people from all walks of life is unprecedented. When my grandparents risked everything to immigrate legally to this country from Greece, they did so because the freedom to find their own way and determine their outcome was readily available. Previous generations have sacrificed dearly to preserve this gift of freedom.
Now, it is our turn, as grateful beneficiaries, to stand and preserve this legacy. America is the land of people who are smart, innovative, and willing to sacrifice for anyone in their time of need. Our capacity is boundless, our charity renowned. We can solve and overcome any problem before us using our common sense and American ingenuity.
The current politicians in Washington have failed us. Crippling debt, extreme waste, a terrible economy, high unemployment and an unwillingness to support small businesses are the results of our incumbents in DC. We can do better and that's why I'm running.
I want to stand up for "We the People" with the resolve that we can chart our destiny more efficiently and elegantly than career politicians ever can. A thimble full of common sense is more effective than anything Washington, DC could produce. It is this common sense I intend to deliver as the next United States Senator representing the State of Washington.

News Article: Republican U.S. Senate candidate takes to the airwaves By Kyung Song
"A Bellingham businessman who's aiming to defeat Sen. Patty Murray is taking to the airwaves in an advertising campaign targeted at true-red conservatives.
