My name is Greg Zotta and I believe we live in the Greatest Country in the world, the United States. Sure there are problems facing this country, but I believe I have ideas which are solutions to these issues. Congress’s answer to our nation's difficulties is for the most part to throw money at them. I would prefer to take a common sense approach to addressing our dilemmas and  formulating solutions.

I believe I have solutions to some of the problems facing this country. Some of which are as follows:

·         Funding the Iraq War

·        Taxes

·        Immigration

·         Abortion

·         Eminent Domain

·         Banking/Credit

·         Housing Crisis

·         Gun Control

·         Energy

·         Affirmative Action

·         Healthcare

·         Fairness Doctrine

·        Social Security

·         Global Warming

·         Letter to Common Cause - Voters First Pledge Public Campaign Action Fund

Aside from being an informed voter, I have also written letters to the editors of various newspapers addressing some of the issues that America is facing. I have called my elected officials and the Attorney General to voice my concerns and to share my ideas. I have phoned and sent correspondence to various talk show hosts. When necessary, I have filed lawsuits. I have called the White House requesting President Bush to pardon border agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. So, I have been involved in the issues to a certain extent.

I do not like the direction this country is heading, and that is why I decided to run for U.S. Congress in the Third District of Missouri. People should be able to keep more of their money and be in control of their own lives. People should be encouraged and be taught to be self-reliant and independent. I want to give the power back to the people.

Remember when elected officials were known as public servants? Now they are career politicians. Some of them beholding to the lobbyists and special interests, which is why some of the legislation that has been passed has proven more beneficial to corporations, which becomes part of the problem.

My children did not want me to run for office because I do not have the money or name recognition. They do believe that my ideas would solve the problems facing this country. Therefore, I decided to run because I can help this country resolve some of the problems that it faces.

I have always stood up for what is right. If I see something that is wrong, I will voice my opinion to right the wrong. I take pride in my work and I do what I say. My decisions are based on two principles: common sense and fairness. Once you hear my solutions to the problems facing this country, I hope you will join me in my effort to become elected to U.S. Congress.
