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?'   [5th International Church Music Congress -the Olympics of sacred music]
