I am a conservative upstate (Rochester Area) New Yorker. I have voted for the republican party candidates in every election since 1996 when I turned 18 because of the influence Ronald Reagan had on me during my high school years in the 80’s. His logic was (is) just common sense.
I grew up in Rochester and spent 3 years living and working in Maryland after college and then returned to the Rochester area in 1994 for work.
I am a electrical engineer by trade and an amateur political junkie.
I am married to a wonderful woman who supports and encourages me.
My plan is to just publish my thoughts and ideas on politics in America.
The reason I have decided to throw my hat into the blogger ring is that what I read (blogs, newspapers, magazines) and hear through radio and TV mostly come at a topic with a similar point of view. I hope to bring a different view that will make people think.
This blog will try to be about challenging people to think about topics in a different way.
The United States of America is a country of laws based on the Constitution. The Constitution is the greatest non-religious document written by humans in the history of humans.
I hope you enjoy this blog and return often,
Don

I agree that the Republican Party is on life support, but not yet dead. I also agree with Ronald Reagan that the best bet for Conservatives is to reclaim the Republican Party instead of starting a new party.
To this end, I’ve started a petition demanding Congressional Republicans return to Conservatism. No more compromising with liberals who in return offer no compromises.

If you agree with the petition, please sign it and then tell others about it.
Thank you!
