I'm on a mission to make sure the next generation of Americans have the opportunity to grow up as straight, as proud, and as free as I did.

For relaxation I play guitar, sing country music, drink Coors Light (except when in Texas, where proper etiquette dictates that one drink Lone Star), eat red meat, and sometimes discharge firearms for no good reason at all.

Organizations and activities I've been a part of:

Student Council
Boy Scouts of America
USAFJROTC
Junior Achievement
USA Wrestling
Army National Guard
Howard Hughes Research Foundation

Theodore Roosevelt:

"We cannot have too much immigration of the right sort, and none whatsoever of the wrong sort."

"Every man of them should be required to serve a year with the colors, like our native-born youth, before being allowed to vote. Nothing would do more to make him feel an American among his fellow Americans, on an equality of rights, of duties, and of loyalty to the flag."

"We cannot afford to permit squalid overcrowding or the kind of living system which makes impossible the decencies and necessities of life. We cannot afford the low wage rates and the merely seasonal industries which mean the sacrifice of both individual and family life and morals to the industrial machinery."

TR also went on to define EXACTLY what the wrong sort of immigrant is (covers nearly all current illegal immigrants)...

"Paupers and assisted immigrants of all kinds should be kept out; so should every variety of Anarchists. And if Anarchists do come, they should be taught, as speedily as possible, that the first effort to put their principles into practice will result in them being shot down..."

"We must soon try to prevent too many laborers coming here and underselling our own workmen in the labor market..."

"Many working men look with distrust upon laws which really would help them; laws for the intelligent restriction of immigration, for instance."
