After the divisive speaker election. The last point, it is personal. I cannot and will not give up family time. I may not be on the road as often as previous speakers, but i try to make up for it with more time medicating our vision, armitage our message.

A tomorrow in which all gods thanren will be better off they are today. The role of the federal government is not to create dependency but an opportunity for everyone. The idea
