Being born and raised in a rural farming community in central Texas, I started my education in a three room school house. I now reside in Madison, Alabama.  I have been fortunate to travel and work in 46 states and have toured several foreign countries.  I have seen both good and bad and this helped form my opinions on many things.  You may agree or you may disagree with my thoughts, and that’s okay.  My intent is to share my thoughts and maybe stir you to dig deep in your minds and help me come up with ways to help save our great nation.  I look forward to seeing your comments and thoughts through the contact tab.  Jack F.
