Citizens of Southeast Texas:
I have lived in the southeast Houston, Clear Lake area since 1955 and am currently in my home of over 23 years, located in the Bay Glen subdivision of Clear Lake City. The majority of my adult life was spent as a professional pilot. During those 30 years of flying commuter airline turbprops and private jets in, around and beyond the district, I feel I have a good sense of who we are, in relation to others in this country and the countries beyond our borders.
My time spent in management positions and entrepreneurial ventures has given me a keen prospective for what small businesses truely need from their government. Since 1998, I've managed my own educational software company, which became the #23 fastest growing business in Houston in 2001 and #54 in 2002. The company continued to grow until the failed policies of the George W. Bush administration crippled the world's economy and reduced it by two thirds.
It is encouraging to see the economy improving day by day, due to the policies of the Democratic Party and its President, Barack Obama. This is certainly not the time to take a chance on the same folks who created the problem being put back in charge.
Incredible things seem to happen when everyday Americans bond together to solve a common problem. Unfortunately, we find ourselves facing an election where we must decide on whether we "stay the course" or return to the policies that got us into this mess. The only way for a government to evolve which truly represents the majority of the citizens, is for the population to send representatives not influenced by the special interests who finance their campaigns.
I invite you to look through the web site and further familiarize yourself with my views on many of the current issues. At the conclusion, if you feel comfortable with my representing you and the Texas 36th Congressional District, please join this campaign to send Max Martin to Congress.
Sincerely,
|
