Opportunity serves future better than fairness efforts: February 28, 2015

AJ has a story that would rarely be expected to lead to an active role as a conservative. AJ started life born to young inexperienced teenage parents with few resources and fewer skills. There were many places called home as a child, including living in a tent working alongside seasonal immigrants picking strawberries in Oregon and experiencing a middle eastern culture first hand. But rather than a life looking for handouts and free stuff, AJ had an internal drive leading her to this firsthand understanding.

In contrast to the “occupy ” mentality demanding government interference in efforts to create equal outcomes, AJ served her country and knows firsthand;

Under the constitutional framework of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, I had the same opportunity as any other American to achieve and, just as importantly, the incentive to achieve with the promise to retain what I had worked so hard for.
