"Membership in the family of God is neither inconsequential or something to be casually ignored. The church is God's agenda for the world. Jesus said, "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The church is indestructable and will exist for eternity. It will outlive this universe, and so will your role in it."

- Rick Warren
If I Ran For Office...

...which is a dream of mine that will never happen...

I would run the following ads.

Spot 1- "Pursuit of Happiness"

(Me standing in an automobile plant with people working.) I say,

"Most politicians seem to think that if they let you keep more of your own money that you will go bury it an a hole somewhere. But they just don't seem to understand basic economics. If you suddenly had say a million dollars, what would you do with it? You'd spend some of it, maybe to buy a nice car. And that money would go where? To support the jobs of the good hardworking people you see behind me. And some of it you'd save perhaps in a mutual fund. Where would that money go? It would buy stock in a company like this one that pays the salaries of the hard working people behind me. And if they in turn got to keep more of their own money, they would spend or invest it, also helping other hardworking people. In the real world, what goes around, comes around. The government needs to take their hands off your money and let it go to work.

My name is Philip Schroeder and I believe that you can put your own money to better use than the government can, so you can bet that I approve this message."

These are great ads -- I wish there were (more) people running for office with these perspectives.
