And great job elaborating on my point about products not getting any less expensive.

I've had a few prominent figures in the county approach me about running for a county office. The more I think about it the more I feel that maybe they're onto something. I've been involved in local politics for a couple years now and most of the county already knows me, or at least knows my face (and my cowboy hat). That being said, with me in limbo as to whether I'm getting deployed or not, I'm not going to run this next election cycle. Maybe the following cycle when I'm done with school and home for a while. The more I think about it, the more I feel that this may be something I'll have to seriously look into further in the future. I doubt I'd try for anything higher up the state legislature but at the same time I do not know the future, and if enough people ask me to run, then my sense of duty (same reason I enlisted in the military) will obligate me to answer the call yet again.

Lots of good people won't run for President becuase of the time involved, the media scrutiny, the money it costs to get involved, the debates, the cheap shots at your family and friends, the investigation into your past, etc.

Gregg, better get all those skeletons out of the closet bud!!!

In doing so that should stop the influx of illegal aliens and also the illegal drugs being smuggled in. After the borders were secure I would streamline the process to become a citizen. Any illegal who has been involved in serious crime would be deported. I would also make English the national language and require all citizens to be albe to speak and write English. Anyone not wanting to assimilate would be invited to go back to their home country. Anyone who wants to live in this country needs to assimilate to our ways. America is not going to change to suit immigrants.
I would also reestablish ties with Cuba. Our policy to isolate the country has not proven to be. Effective.
