This song has many verses that I sing at the Gateway Arch. Originally written by Merle Haggard for the 200th bicentennial celebration in 1976, it is getting near the 250th anniversary in 2026. I have made modifications and added some verses. Here at the Gateway Arch, it is a good […]
Today, John F. Wood decided to end his candidacy. The race is becoming a face-off between the red Eric Schmitt and the blue Trudy Busch Valentine. His rationale was that he was not facing Eric Greitens. Personally, I don’t think he needed to give a reason for terminating. And the […]
At some point, I realized that I wasn’t going to get to 10,000 signatures. I had a good plan. I didn’t have a team — paid canvassers, unpaid volunteers. How much time could I realistically spare with a full-time job, and a disabled wife? Where could I legally petition without […]
The FEC provides free software for filing your campaign election reports. It is called fecfile. It runs only on Microsoft Windows, and everytime I use it, it requires an automatic update. I have a computer running Microsoft Windows, which if you know me at all, is an inconvenience, but I […]
I have written at length in many posts in this blog about my run as a non-partisan candidate. I started my campaign in February ’21 before most all candidates currently running. Now, I face validation of my political philosophy and my choices. I also face competition and a decision. In […]

One hot day at the St. Louis Arch, Gateway to the West, I am playing my guitar and petitioning. I will be doing this until August 1. Yes, I will answer your questions about my platform. What I feel about the issues. What I want to get done with policy […]
As I have driven to the Gateway Arch these many months, today I drove this morning into the city. The St. Louis downtown streets are all ripped up, so it’s not surprising that the street near Kiener plaza was closed due to the on-going construction. Whole blocks of prime downtown […]
One year ago, I wrote in this blog, “I am trying very hard not to “sell you tickets to the ghost train”. This train is real.” Yes, this train is real, but the quote is apt. The song I sing at the Gateway Arch “Freedom Train” recounts American History from […]
Hi, From your New York Times Github database, for the State of Missouri, the data for May 12, 2022 confuses me. [“2022-05-11”,1449743,20555], [“2022-05-12”,1450282,20554], [“2022-05-13”,1453876,20586] I see that 20,554 Missourians are reported dead on the 12th, while 20,555 are reported dead on the 11th. The difference of one dead does not […]
