et al.
Before the critics and pundits throw their
darts and -arts, let me set the record
straight on a few matters.
In 1992, an elegant, elderly lady at a
southern Maryland candidate forum asked me "why (I) felt qualified
to be a Senator". My response was, "I'm over 35 years of
age. I'm a resident of Maryland. I was born in the U.S.A.
(Chicago). I'm not an attorney." She agreed with me that I
was qualified.
I hope you agree on that, too!
At age 10, the Milwaukee Sentinel,
now part of the Journal Newspapers, ran an article about me as a
district distribution team captain with the quote that "I wanted to
be a Senator" later in life. My twin and I shared that
leadership and found out what leadership responsibility was - that
when weather was bad, we had 16 newspaper routes to deliver before 7
a.m. if the others didn't show. Our territory was Jewish to the
South and Catholic to the North with mixed ethnic groups scattered
throughout. We were brought up Presbyterian, the
"Presidents' religion" I'm told.
I visited Ripon, Wisconsin - the birthplace
of the Republican Party while in Junior High school and borrowed Abraham
Lincoln's words in a run for class President - "You can fool
some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people
all the time".
This Republican precept has proven the
Democratic ideology wrong over, and over, and over again. But they
keep trying. Notice, how they (the class of nine clowns plus the
unannounced queen clown) all think they'll make socialism the issue next
year, and not one of them understands where the money comes from or how
leadership develops (not from media polls).
I learned first hand how socialism works
while overseas at the request of the Soviet Union to bring SofTool
USSR '90, a
computer application show, to Moscow under the auspices of the U.S.
Commerce Department with concurrence from the U.S. State Department
and U.S. Defense Department.
In fact from 1989 to 1990 I was involved
with a three-country, joint venture that published a business newsletter
(USSR Business Reports) from Moscow on Fridays, faxed to Canada
for distribution on Monday via fax to American subscribers. My
archive has all issues from that period documenting the Dumas' trials and
tribulations over President Gorbachov's philosophies in democratizing
Russia.
As an aside, when returning from St.
Petersburg in 1991, I arrived in New York to hear the ABC Canadian
anchor, Peter Jennings, ask an executive's wife what she would like to
ask the President to do during that slight recession. She said,
"extend our unemployment benefits". I said,
"wrong answer" I had just left a country that went from
government reliance to capitalism where they celebrated in a
"change of flag" ceremony over the Kremlin.
As part of Conferences and Expos,
I organized, staged and solicited 500 western companies to exhibit and
present technical seminars at SofTool USSR where I predicted
in a Novesti 1 (Channel one on Moscow TV) interview upon arrival at Sherementivo
Airport that there would big changes in the Soviet Union
within five to ten years because of the information exchange resulting
from this event at the VDNK (Peoples' Achievement Park).
It went more rapidly than I anticipated as they networked to
the world and within eleven months plus five days a big change occurred.
There was no more Soviet Union. Good thing for the world! But, instead
of one client I now had fifteen through my company ContactNet.
It was kind of like...when my plan to improve
perceptions of the militia in America in 1973 was accepted and
I traveled to all the states and territories training Recruiters in public service
advertising instead of one or two Headquarters at the Pentagon, I had
106.
You see, I became an account director with several advertising agencies contracted to provide recruiting advertising to the seven military services. Instead of dealing with one office, the Chief, National Guard Bureau, I created a 9-man team to service each State's Adjutants General Office and each of their Guards - Army National Guard and Air National Guard (106 clients when including the three territories). As a pilot I was able to meet with 33 states each quarter or 66 clients. My credentials are from the real world.
I've had several people try to adopt them for themselves, but they
couldn't back 'em up with details. It included an Army Colonel
using my resume as his, a Corporate Director claiming my
accomplishments, a client presenting my skills as his for his personal
gain, and several candidates mimicking my knowledge as there's. So here goes...
...I was born three days before World War II broke out at Pearl Harbor. I lived through the Korean war during my grade school years, and the beginnings of Viet Nam in my late High School and early College years. Was asked by Cambodia's President Lon Nol and his brother General Lon Non to produce a video on developing their country's natural resources. And, I helped end the cold war through three major events - I can't talk about them or I'd have to.... I studied electrical engineering and broadcasting at the University of Wisconsin and earned my pilot's license on alternate academic days whiling carrying 21 credit hours. Now with over 1500 hours I carry a commercial/instrument ticket and have chartered my planes and piloting to several high visibility world leaders for business and holiday trips. I worked my way through school as Community
Affairs director of our campus radio station (WUWM-FM/TV). I helped put
it on the air while
hosting three radio and two television shows on commercial stations
(WOKY, WRIT, WEMP, WTMJ-TV, WITI-TV, and WISN-TV) in the
Milwaukee viewing area.
In 1966 when Pope John V brought his Liturgical
Music Congress to Milwaukee and Chicago it offered me a
remarkable experience. At first I thought it was a joke when a
Dick Snow
phoned the station asking if we could broadcast it.
What a "snow job" was my reaction.
I had to make a decision about his request because our advising
Professor was on sabbatical, so I said, "Yes, what is it?'
