Eric writes, “I reside in Fargo, the same area I have lived in for most of my life. I work a regular full time job as well as running a small company providing inventory services to retail stores in the area, and developing equipment for my company. What compels me to run for public office is the lack of other candidates I see on my ballot in each election who I feel good about voting for. I see that our nation has troubles ahead and I with few exceptions no one in either the Democratic or Republican parties seems to take financial situation seriously, they don’t take our civil liberties seriously and they don’t take the constitutional limitations of their powers in office seriously. Among my favorites -- Favorite Game: Chess; Favorite Computer Game: Rise of Nations; Favorite Book: In Search of Schrodinger’s Cat; Favorite Movie: The Matrix (first one only).
