Our sincerest sympathy to Terry's family. We mourn his passing. In the early years our now grown children would say "Terry is the coolist!" He will be missed.

Terry, I will always remember you as a kind and good person. Our connection was through our school years at GCS, and though that is long ago, the good memories always last. You are certainly part of those memories. God speed and bless you.

Mr. Corbin I voted for you today. I will be watching you and reonitrpg your activity.Now the issues you discussed were important I want to tell you thee issues I have on my mind and how I would handle them. They are as follows.If it were within my power these are the changes I want dearly to bring to this country.The purpose of these changes would be to make this country a manufacturing, academic, economic, technological, and military super power with zero dependence on foreign oil. This is what I would do . 1. Keep the federal government strictly bound to the constitution. 2. I would fully support legalization of fully automatic weapons by nonfelons 3. Defund all federal agencies and programs that are not required or provided for in the constitution or necessary for national security. 4. Build a strong military necessary to maintain peace thought strength. 5. Keep Gitmo open. 6. Stop abortion except when the mothers life is in danger. 7. Close the boarders and build a fence on our southern as well as our northern border. 8. Fine business owners 1000.00 dollars per day per person for each illegal immigrant they employee. 9. Deny and withdraw citizenship to children born in the U.S.A. If either parent is illegal. 10. Remove taxes for all businesses with two exceptions.A. American businesses that buy products from foreign companies that do not manufacture in the U.S will be required to pay a tariff on those products. This will take effect 2 years after it is passed. The reason for this is to give time for American companies to be built to support the manufacturers. Then if after two years an American company buys from a foreign manufacturer that does not manufacture (anything) in the U.S.A. then they would be subject to 35% foreign trade tax.B. Businesses that hire people to do work that Americans can do in the U.S.A. will be subject to a foreign trade tax on labor. The purpose of this is to remove the advantage of out sourcing of people in foreign countries. This is to go into effect 90 days after it is passed.11. Remove all taxes on capital gains on companies that manufacture in the USA.12. Impose a 65%** capital gains tax on ALL foreign investment.13. Impose a 35%** tariff on products of companies that export to the U.S.A. if that company does not manufacture in the U.S.A. These taxes would be used solely to pay off the dept to China.This tax would be collected at point of sale and would be in addition to the federal sales tax. 14. Collect federal taxes from retail sales. If you buy a product for 1 dollar you will pay a federal tax on that product. If Joe Billionaire buys a 50 million dollar yacht he will pay the same tax on it. If he buys it from a foreign company he will have to pay the federal tax plus the import tax.No loop holes for anyone. ( I am open to discussions on the flat tax and the fair tax. I am leaning toward the fair tax.)14. Remove the taxes on your phone bill.15. There would be no federal tax on food or medicine.< .That is a period! Homes? Cars?15. I would remove the United nations from the U.S.A. and withdraw all agreements with them including those concerning use and regulation of land, water and resources on all American interest.16. I would drill for oil in ANWAR and any where else necessary to find enough oil to make our country strong. We must cease the importation of foreign oil as soon as possible. 17. I would make solar / hydrogen / wind implementation an absolute top priority.Create solar/ wind farms to generate hydrogen to power hydrogen fired electric generators.Home wind and solar hydrogen generation will be encouraged. 18. I would help to orchestrate, unite and encourage governors to cooperate and work as a team to find solutions that not only benefit their state but work in the best interest of all Americans.19. I would help to orchestrate, unite and encourage governors and elected state officials on all levels to create and amend state laws to be more uniform between states.The FCC will no longer be in place. The constitution prohibits federal laws regulating speech.The states will have to determine what is obscene and enforce the laws. 20. Make privatization of social security withholdings an option. 100% return on money withheld by the government.Pay out available in lump sum at retirement. This is to be administered by each state.(This will take some research and study)21. Education will be the responsibility of the states not the federal government.School will be held 12 months of the year. A . Teachers performance will be evaluated for the last 5 years. Truly gifted teachers will be sought out. These teachers will have their class recorded for an entire school year.These recordings will be used in every class room across the nation.This year Mrs. Murphy may teach a second grade class of 30 this year but in as little as 4 years Mrs. Murphy could be teaching every second grade class in the nation. We must have the very best teachers in the nation for every child in the nation.B. Students will be expected to have the equivalent to a 2 year degree by the age of 18.C. Driving privilege will be depend on grades.D. Failure to maintain a grade level of C or higher in all classes will result in drivers license suspension of the student. Random drug testing on high school students will be mandatory. Failure of the drug test will result in drivers license suspension till the age of 18.22. I support the legalization of marijuana and think that it should be regulated and taxed uniformly by states like liquor. No sales to anyone under 21. No driving under the influence.23. I do believe that we should make the possession of cocain,heroin and meth . with intent to distribute a life sentence on the first offense. This would take away some motives for illegals to want to cross into the U.S.A.Further more it would stop some of the money going to the terrorist.24. Outlaw lobbyist. This countries laws should be based on what is best for the country. Not who can put the most money in the pockets of the politicians.25. I would stop the groping of most airline passengers by TSA and provide better security by adopting the same security measures as Israel as well as the use of dogs.26. I would stop the immigration of people from middle eastern countries that are not Israelis. I would require all middle eastern collage students to leave the U.S. When they graduate. All middle eastern students would be subject to a through background check. If the fail the background check they will be required to leave the US and will never be allowed to return.27. American citizens that travel to the middle middle east for an extended period of time will be denied return to the U.S. This would not include military or those that are employed there. Thank you for you time.With absolute sincerity,Robert T. Phillips
