Hello Ohio,

I am currently 4 years into my 8 year plan to get elected to Congress. Yes, I've developed a strategy of perseverance that relies on the strength of ideas to promote support. If you are looking for my campaign site please visit  http://www.McMasters4Congress.com

Tfmsview.com Mission Statement
This magazine aims to promote intellectual discussions on the political issues of the day.  Fundamentally, I expect the consensus will lead everyone to the realization capitalism far and away provides the best means for increasing our standard of living. The tricky part; to ignore the usual voices promoting "capitalism" so that we also make sure the safety devices on Oil Wells  trigger properly and our bridges don't start falling down.

Personal and Political Philosophy 

The absolute main reason I write is to promote good government. An educated voter gives us the best chance for good government. So I was very sad to see that as of Oct 31st only 51 people total used the Dayton Daily News Voter Guide to recommend any of the 7 Presidental Candidates. Come on people, research your choices then let your friends know what you think. This means for the local races too. I did and it caused me to endorse some, vote for some and leave others blank. Go ahead put in that hour and a half of reading. Your government will be better because of it.
