I want to begin by saying two simple words: Thank you!  These words go out to the many people that were involved in my campaign, as well as the many voters who wanted me as their candidate for the U.S. Congress.  Your support and activity is very heartfelt and greatly appreciated by me.

I want to thank God, as He answered my prayers when I asked what He wanted me to do.  I think this was meant to be a learning experience to prepare us for a successful run in the future.

Finally, I want to thank all who took the time to try and make a difference in our country and voted for me. 

I was proud to be a candidate and appreciated the votes that I received.  I may not be the candidate elected to the November campaign, but I will help my party and Mike Kelly in his effort to defeat Kathy Dahlkemper.

With your continuing support, I will consider running again in 2012 and will learn from this year’s experience and ask that you all stay in touch so that we can be better financed and organized for the 2012 election.

God bless all of you and our great Nation.

Thank you!
