Dr. Meister has my vote for sure. It's time we get some fresh blood in government. It doesn't take much to act as a representative, just common sense from what I can tell, and Dr. Meister is the best for the job. We need someone in there that is interested for reasons, not just for money or status. He is a rebel for the cause. He was my childs doctor for 11 years...and he is the best! I have no doubt he would be the best man for the job. I wish I had an extra $500,000 laying around, I'd contribute to your cause. Good for him standing up for something he beleives in and wants to help change. That's more than I can say for us in her that just vent and do nothing about it!!!! Good luck Dr. Meister!report abuse

Are you saying that reponsible spending in govenment is going to result in having no public servants to answer your questions?

It's too bad they can't take the time to kick bumbs off welfare and we have more then enough DHHS emplyees to get that job done.report abuse

The electorate has to decide if it wants good, responsive government or lowest taxes. Can't have both. I have always been pleased with the results when I e-mail a state employee with a question relating to the law or regulation of a particular concern I may have. The response has been thorough and prompt. If there is no one there, or there are too many questions to deal with, I don't expect I will get such service in the future. I really rely on them for answers such as, "Can I register my four-wheeler as a farm vehicle?" to "How do I start a cemetery association?"report abuse

This man is wasting his time and he would have been better off to stay independent and by chosing a party in a failing party system he has embraced the system he claims to dislike.
He is not looking for the job, he is looking for a roll in someones cabinet.report abuse
