As we all ought to know, the decision to have an abortion is probably the most difficult one a woman can face.

There are a number of reasons one might be confronted with this choice, none of which are pleasant. I’d like to start with the most extreme – the one that may not even be a choice. There are a number of things that can happen during pregnancy that can cause an expecting mother to unexpectedly die. Many, if not most of them, will ultimately claim the life of the unborn child as well. There is no excuse to allow the woman to die if it is preventable, even if that means terminating the pregnancy. The line between killing and letting die is quite thin, and passing any legislation that forces women to die seems to fall more on the killing side.

I would hate to see an anti-abortion crusader have to look on as their daughter, granddaughter, niece, cousin, close friend, or anyone else dies because they got caught up in a social movement. What could they really tell themselves?

Secondly, politicians are not qualified to make these kinds of decisions. It hasn’t happened to them, or if it did, they don’t admit it. The honest fact is, no one but the individual and their doctor know for sure if it’s the worst case scenario. Sometimes, an unborn child can also be afflicted with incurable illness that will render their life short and painful if they are carried to term. Many of these conditions can be identified before the child is born, and as sad as it is to say, it is merciful to spare them the pain of what existence they will have.

As the country continues to face numerous challenges, it’s high time we considered age limits for government officials. We need fresh ideas and young blood in Congress and the presidency. It’s not a secret that the elderly often struggle with keeping up with the latest trends and developments, which is why we need age limits.

To be clear, age limits should apply to both the minimum and maximum age a person can hold office. This ensures that we don’t have inexperienced and untested politicians running our country. At the same time, we want to avoid having people who have been in power for decades and have lost touch with the realities of our society.

We need politicians who are aware of the latest trends, innovations, and technologies that are shaping our world. Younger people tend to be more in touch with these developments, and they can bring fresh perspectives and ideas to the table. Age limits will ensure that we have a continuous stream of new talent, ideas, and energy in our government.

Imagine having a 90-year-old president trying to navigate the complexities of the digital age and climate change. It’s not impossible, but it’s not ideal either. We need politicians who are not only competent but also adaptable and innovative. Age limits will help us achieve this goal.

Of course, it’s not just about age. We need to consider other factors such as experience, education, and leadership skills. However, age is a critical factor that we can’t ignore. We need to strike a balance between experience and innovation, and age limits can help us achieve that balance.

Potential candidate for CO, US Representative, 2024

I am a normal working stiff from Southern Colorado. I, along with many others in our District, recognize the need for a change in representation in the US House of Representatives away from Lauren Boebert. I also recognize the vast enthusiasm gap between her and the person she defeated in 2022. The honest fact is, the majority of the votes he got, mine included, were votes AGAINST her and not FOR him. Outside of Aspen, the thought of a person from there being truly representative of our region is false at best, and repulsive at worst.

Since my mid twenties, people have been asking me to run for this House seat, some of whom were highly influential business owners, and others were regular working people like myself. This cycle, I have caved in to the pressure. Instead of coming across as though I have the answers to all of our problems or presenting myself as a full-blown partisan zealot, I’d like to practice a little true Democracy as our representative. When major issues come up, I want to contact local experts and stakeholders, and I’d also like to survey the citizens of the district at large for their direct input.

I want to introduce solutions that I believe can balance the federal budget, reduce inequality, better serve our veterans, and work towards global peace and stability. I am willing to answer any questions that anyone may have, and I’m also flexible about certain issues because I believe you have to be to truly represent the people. I do not think the voter should have to choose all of what any party has to say when they choose a candidate for it, and I do not believe the candidate should ask the voter to trust in their opinion without being able to give functional input.
