Amidst their profile, Dr. Thorpe discusses economic resuscitation.
"We must ask ourselves what this action will teach our children. The answer is easy to deduce, as follows: The message that this bailout sends to our youth indicates that personal responsibility no longer matters.
"I am profoundly disappointed that my opponent, the Honorable Alcee Hastings, who has claimed to represent the interests of his constituents since first being elected in 1992, is a strong proponent of the bailout, including the original Democratic bill which was full of insidious measures that helped large corporations but did nothing for the middle class.
The people of US Congressional District 23 need a clear signal that our government will heretofore facilitate conditions that promote the success and independence of hard working families, not bail out large banks that make bad decisions. While the Democratic proposal was shocking, and Republican support for it constitutes an unfortunate act of folly, Mr. Hastings’ support of both bills is unfathomable.
Having immersed myself in District 23 for the last 5 years, I know the real struggles facing our community. For this reason, I highly support and promote personal responsibility as the soundest method of correcting the multiple deficits of our community. You have my word that my Congressional vote will be cast in a manner that helps small family businesses in the district survive during tough times while simultaneously ensuring that my people thrive in all parts of US Congressional District 23."

- Technology consumes our everyday. Instant and text messages allow constant contact. Social networking expands our communities. Blogs model our opinions. The internet provides information. While the aforesaid are convenient, they are also problematic. They are independent. They are unpredictable. In politics, I transformed technology. For you, I will as well. I have worked and consulted in a presidential campaign, two gubernatorial campaigns, several congressional and statewide campaigns. Prior to this, I was a reporter. I understand new media. I understand technology. I am aggressive, comprehensive, and persistent. I can improve your company. Blogs, cellular technology, fundraising tools, instant messaging, text messaging, and social networking. We will channel them. You may not embrace technology. You may not respect technology. However, America’s alteration is permanent. Customer communication and interaction are vital. I anticipate your response.
