"Events have brought our American democracy to new influence and new responsibilities. They will test our courage, our devotion to duty, and our concept of liberty."
Harry S. Truman
Those words are as true today as they were when Truman spoke them.
JASmius adds: Hard to believe he was a Democrat, huh?
I was born in the small town of Wenatchee, Washington in the early 1960s, and grew up in that last outpost of Norman Rockwell America.
Graduating high school with honors, I attended Washington State University, where I earned a cum laude Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration. I added my CPA certification a year later.
After four years in the salt mines of public accounting I seized the opportunity to get into accounting management in private industry, where I served in the mortgage/real estate, technology, and food manufacturing industries for twenty-one years. After that career was laid waste by corporate politics, I bided my time, subsisting on unemployment compensation and then personal savings, until the ship of Constitution Education Enterprises LLC finally came in. That pipe dream now having also acrimoniously ended in the ongoing Trumpocalypse, I am what you call a "free agent".
On the home front, I am twenty-eight years into the matrimonial salt mines, and have raised two precocious kids, one of whom is well on the way to conquering the world of music and theater, the other one of whom might be a future YouTube entrepreneur.
