America Deserves A Raise

Down But not Out

His career started at 4 with a lemonade stand, somehow understanding even though young the need for money which was extremely tight because his father became disabled that year.  Being industrious he mowed grass and pulled weeks during his preteen years, when 13 he got a job repairing vacuums after school, riding his bike up a busy dangerous, winding mountain road. 

He started working for the Water Department in our small town, the physical work demanding and strenuous, yet he handled the responsibilities like a man, even being promoted to Assistant Operator at age 17.  He moved to Florida with his boss where they worked together hanging sheet rock.  It was hard physical work, but than he was accustomed to working hard.  Eventually he went into business himself developing a reputation for workmanship, dependability, and integrity.

Seeking to expand his business horizons, he started pursuing network marketing in the
evenings and on weekends, quickly developing his own organization,  working day and night, many times without food or enough sleep to help others depending on him.

Although knocked down, he is not out!  He never quits, he just keeps working harder and
smarter.  Now our son ingeniously developed a unique solution for solving the real estate crisis, potentially helping prevent another real estate collapse, thereby helping the
economy as a whole. His health has suffered tremendously from all the exhaustion and stress; his wife having a miscarriage, he severely fatigue, with no medical insurance to help, yet, he continues to work feverishly, seeking the resources and funding necessary to launch his patented solution.  This patent has the potentials of benefiting everyone.  $40, 000.00 will get this program under way, thereby helping both our economy and County…........
