Today, we’re seeing a resurgence of leadership at the local level. Folks who aren’t happy with their leaders are stepping up to take matters into their own hands. That is what makes America great – our continual willingness to work together to improve the country we love.

I am a diehard Republican — have been since 1948, two years after I got out of the Service. I believe in the two-party system. But I also believe in moderate causes that cut across party lines and represent not the extreme but the more central electorate. It is with this in mind that I support Trailblazers PAC, a brand new organization at least for me. More of us should try to pull ourselves out of the political paralysis in which we now find ourselves in Washington. One party can’t do it all. That’s not our tradition!
