Information about the author
.... As a preface to my Resume, I would like to say that I am a legal and Constitutional scholar. What does that mean? Simply that I love the law and this great Country, and the wonderful formative documents known as the Declaration of Independence and The United States Constitution. It has been my privilege and honor to learn from some of the great minds in our Country. It has been, and continues to be my goal to study and learn as much as possible, and to constantly fight the evil factions who intend to destroy America.
