A decent respect for the opinions of the governed requires that a candidate declare the causes that compel him to seek office.

Our government is instituted to secure life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Whenever our current form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter it and institute a new government, laying its foundation on our principles of government.

Mankind is more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing a form to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design destructive to these ends, it is our right, it is our duty, to throw off such destructive form and to provide new guards for their future security.

Let these facts be submitted to a candid electorate. *

Our General Assembly:

Has reduced itself to a station less-than-equal to that of the Executive and Judicial branches,

Has failed to uphold the principle of checks and balances and the principle of separation of powers by abdicating the appointment of Presidential Electors to the State Executive branch,

Has bungled property tax revenue with debt service obligations for TIF bonds,

Has allowed intrusions upon our bodily integrity,

Has failed to provide a method independent of the Executive to allow itself to reconvene,

Has botched the delivery of elections, creating mistrust and doubt within the electorate.

Therefore, I appeal to the electorate of State House District 90 to solemnly publish and declare our form of government needs to be altered. Indiana is a sovereign independent state participating in a federal union to design a representative republic and needs to act like it.*
