About Us
There is a force moving across this great country that seeks to stifle the average American citizen. That force is the powerful political machine that leads and runs our government. It seems that most of our elected officials soon forget why they were sent to Washington. They were voted into office to represent the people not to further their personal agendas or pay back the big money that got them there. In other words - they work for us!
The American political juggernaut is wasting our money and rendering bad policy decisions that are in conflict with the voting constituency. Do you feel powerless? Do you feel your voice or vote is meaningless against this powerful force?
This website exists in order to empower the average American with the ability to directly interact with their elected officials and influence the outcome of decisions that are being made. Your voice and your vote is power but only in numbers that politicians understand.
With this website American citizens will be able to easily and quickly contact their elected representatives regarding current issues that directly affect their lives. It is the responsibility of all Americans to get involved with the political system that controls this country.
Use the pages and links throughout this website to make an informed vote during the next election.
Two Weeks on Politics
TWoPolitics.com is a two generational perspective on today's political news events. We are working class citizens and tired of seeing hard working Americans having their money frivolously squandered away and political leadership unable to pull together for the good of our Nation. This is your website for political commentary, wit and useful information.

Born and raised in a New England seacoast town I joined the Navy after graduating from high school and soon found myself on a Naval warship in the Tonkin Gulf. We participated in night combat raids on coastal North Vietnamese military sites, provided gunfire support for forces ashore and plane guarding duties for aircraft carriers. I continued my Naval service on a number of ships as an Independent Duty Corpsman (Ship's Doc) as well as three tours of duty with the Marine Corps as a Fleet Marine Force corpsman. After an adventurous Naval career I retired to the mountains of New England where I work as an Information Technology Manager. Before retiring from the Navy I received a BS in Liberal Arts and after retiring an AAS in Computer Technology.
During my lifetime I have lived through ten Presidents and served in the military under six Commanders-in-Chief.
Politics has affected my entire life and will do so the rest of my life whether I want it to or not. My personal philosophy leans toward the right and I make no apologies for that. But make no mistake, I do not walk lock-step with any politician or political party. I believe all Americans should be involved with the political process if it is nothing more than every eligible citizen voting.

The son of a military family, I was born in a Naval Hospital and lived throughout the continental United States until my father retired from the Navy and settled in New England. After witnessing the September 11th attacks from high school during my senior year, I delayed college and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. I served in the infantry and fought in Fallujah, Iraq, where I was wounded by an improvised explosive device and rocket-propelled grenade during the fighting.
After my tour, I returned home and finished my education with an Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts, and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science.
Raised Protestant, I converted to Roman Catholicism as an adult.
While I tend to follow the conservative mindset, I do not ally myself with any one party ideology. First and foremost, I am an American and a patriot.
