Editors, I don’t understand why your news papers won’t print anything I write.  "They say it’s because you are a candidate and that’s unfair to your opponents."  Then I say, why don’t you print what all the federal candidates write, there are only three of them.  That’s fair isn’t it? You would be providing a public service in your "Readers comments section" by giving the public information about their Federal candidates.  I know that anything the incumbent writes is considered news and gets printed.  Do you call that political equality? Remaining silent about people that can have so much impact is a very poor way of protecting your country.—Don Hooper

This questionnaire information can be useful to voters in selecting a candidate for the U.S. Representative from the 1st District.  The answers are confined to 200 words by request.

Why do you want to be a U. S. Representative for the 1st District?

The U.S. House has 435 elected Representatives as members. Each one, is expected by the American public to use his or her creative talents, to contribute to the objectives of national defense, providing for energy requirements, organizing border control, contributing to economic stability, domestic tranquility, education, internal infrastructure and public health concerns.

Instead of displaying creativity, the U. S. Congress has completely lost direction and is writhing in a cesspool of indecision. It needs an immediate overhaul which includes a massive replacement of current membership. I am a mature American Patriot that has a sound formal education from a highly respected Conservative College-University in Chicago. (See Bio Information on website.) This was followed by five decades of an intense self taught study of political history, both national and international. My instruction was gleaned from the mistakes and success’s of western civilization and the great leaders that set the course of history.

I want to become an active member of the United States Congress because I have the credentials, intelligence and drive that America needs to return to it’s rightful position as the worlds leader. My character has a spotless record of civil behavior, with cultural and business success all contributing to the kind of profile that America needs from it’s Congressional leaders.

Why are you qualified to be the 1^st Districts U.S. Representative. 199 words

I totally understand the American dream. Born in abject poverty, and left without any monetary inheritance whatsoever. (the 13^th child.) I served my country militarily, (Three years & eight months.) I earned every dollar paid for my formal education, I found all of my employment without help, I designed and built two homes, including the basements, totally alone, by the hands on method, (muscle, sweat and blood.) I invented two successful business’s and built a third one providing 35 years of self employment. I took part in politics, as county chair and many times as a delegate. I was the director of a large Bible camp. I served a number of church’s as a lay preacher, I have traveled in all 49 continental states for a total of almost six million miles, (yes, million) and I have spent a lot of time in Great Britain, France, Canada and Mexico and traveled the "Alcan highway about twenty times." I ran for The United States House of Representatives three times, 02, 04, 06, and now in 08. This is the kind of living experience that very few Congressmen have. My two primary interests are politics and American history. Am I over qualified ?

Please make a list of your top priority issues, if elected.

Issues change, along with world events. At this writing, "Energy" probably tops my list of priorities. I have written essays on the oil crises, (refer to website.) before the public started the swing to force release the restrictions on drilling in new and old oil fields. The far left environmentalists, (including Congressman Stupak) have pressured us into a position of dependency on foreign markets that have cost us heavily and will continue to financially drain us until we can shift into an emergency mode to start producing and refining our own oil, which may take several years. I hope the voting public punishes them in November.

Another subject of my deep concern is getting the Federal Government out of education. Especially on the elementary level. (Again, see my education essay on my website.) The extremely important period between three and seven years are when a child develops his world view, and that impression could last throughout their entire lives. We want that world view to be wholesome and patriotic.

The period of military invasion of this country has relinquished to political contamination from within our own institutions and the Government itself. We must prepare for a very long philosophical war with Islam and The United Nations.
