Dean Clouse

I am a fed up American who is tired of self-serving politicians, instead of people who will fight for our rights! I want to see a brighter future for our kids, not be treated like one by those we elect.

• We must stop COVID tyranny and make sure it never happens again!
• We must Fix 2020! Election integrity must be upheld in all future elections as well to make sure our votes counts!
• Time to stop indoctrination of our children! Let's make sure our kids learn facts, not personal narratives from their teachers!

I feel we need to stop rule by executive orders to reign in tyranny we've seen since COVID began. We need to remind the government that they are only allowed to govern as long as We the People allow it since we are the ultimate people in charge here!

We need to Fix 2020! We all know Biden did not win and there is massive evidence of it which courts are corruptly ignoring! Then, we must make sure that state legislatures take back their power in certification from state executive branches and that the federal government does not initiate involvement in any future elections!

We need to pass legislation that holds educators accountable when they begin pushing their own personal beliefs, narratives, and agendas on our children! They are there to teach facts, not institute biases! On that same coin, we need school choice with the public school system! The competitiveness that would create would force subpar schools to improve and it would allow all students/parents to choose the best school for their needs and desires!

We need to finish the border wall! We need to hold big tech accountable for violating 1st Amendment rights while they take millions of dollars of taxpayers' money from our government! We need to get rid of corrupt politicians on BOTH sides of the aisle! There is much to be done, and I want to be the one fighting for Tennessee and America in Tennessee's 8th District!

While I have several people that I look up to and greatly respect, such as my late grandfather and my parents, I tend to find qualities in people that I seek to adopt, instead of their entire example. I want to be the example for my children and show them that it is okay to always fight for what is right, to love your country, to respect everyone worthy of it, and treat everyone as they would want to be treated!

Very simply, they should actually represent the people who elected them and not themselves. They should work to preserve the Constitution, not alter or bend it. They should use their voice to bring light to those seeking to do the opposite!

I believe anyone elected by the people in America have a responsibility, first and foremost, to the Constitution and the people they represent. They are not parents, they are peers and should act as such.

U.S. House is unique in that these representatives are representing smaller geographical areas than Senate at the Federal level. These reps can bring their constituents' views and values to Congress easier than Senators and these reps, theoretically, should be easier to meet and speak with!

The House are the true representatives of the people in an ideal world that isn't corrupt. I plan to represent my district that way. To stay in touch with those I represent and take their values to the federal government!

I believe it can be, however, I believe that more that do not have this experience should be in office. Experience in government creates a unilateral way of thinking when we clearly need people from all walks of life that see things from different perspectives. We need people who bring something different to the table!

Over the next decade, I think our biggest challenge that lies ahead is getting rid of the corruption (cabal) we clearly have in various levels of government. We need to root them all out and punish those responsible for working against America and our people! I believe the punishment should absolutely fit the severity of the crime as well!

After that, returning our government to how it was meant to be in 1776. Clearly, amendments that reestablish God given rights for everyone regardless of ethnicity or gender should continue, but we need to vastly reduce our government and bring back true freedom to all Americans!

Yes. This allows We the People to change our representatives often if they are not doing their job! Its a blessing it's only 2 years if we use it to get rid of the rot we have in Congress!

I think we should have placed term limits on Congress well over a century ago! It's very clear that people are making a career out of Congress and those seem to be the politicians most questionable as far as whether or not they are honorable! Americans need to serve in Congress for an allotted time and then return to their normal careers! I lean towards thinking that we should have two terms for Senators for a total of 12 years and 3 terms for House members for a total of 6 years.

I bring my own personality to the table, however I would say I ad mire how I've seen Jim Jordan from Ohio handle himself in Congress so far. I would be one to call out a lot of problems like he does and bring attention to the lies that We the People are told everyday!

I believe compromise is necessary on some issues, while absolutely not on others. When it comes to the 2nd Amendment or putting Americans on a list through a federal vaccine database, there should be zero compromise. I would allow the government to come to full stop without hesitation to protect the rights of Americans if given that opportunity!

On other issues, like giving money for infrastructure in America in order to something my constituents want, I'd be willing to compromise as long as the money is clearly going to American infrastructure. I don't think we should be sending money to foreign countries when we are $30 trillion in debt and we have Americans that could benefit!

Basically, I believe the policy matters and the situation matters whether or not a compromise should be made!

I would speak with my constituents and find out what they think and want. I'd use that knowledge gained to make decisions on any bills related to revenue.
