At 13 years old I was honored to meet President Reagan in the Oval office with my mom, my younger brother Joe and the actress Victoria Principle. My brother was the National Poster Child for the Arthritis Foundation that year and we were invited to the Washington for a week and the White House for the day. This was an amazing experience for a middle school age boy from inner city Houston. I will never forget my time in Washington or the time I met President Ronald Reagan.
It was that moment in the Oval Office standing in front of President Reagan that I knew I was a real conservative. It really is something you feel in your heart, not just in your head.
Before that day in the White House, my grandfather was already a big influence in my political life. He was clear in telling me how he felt and what he believed in. His values were very much conservative and his favorite person was President Reagan. Interesting thing is that he called himself a Democrat. His conservative values help shape my values. Both President Reagan and my grandfather believed that government was the problem, not the solution. I share those conservative values.
I’m tired of politicians that have no values and no principles. Those politicians tell people anything they want to hear so that the politicians can get elected. They blow like the trees in the wind, bending and bowing from side to side. Their only agenda is to get elected and stay elected at all cost. I see it almost every day while I challenge the establishment in my campaign. That is not who I am.
There are people that might not like my values or my principles but they will never accuse me of not having any. The promises I make are the promises I keep.
