The Future of Our Country

JACK TRUMAN FOR U.S. CONGRESS

Missouri 4th Congressional District

America must make a decision.

Do we continue the 40 year decline of the middle class and the growing gap between the rich and poor, or do we fight for a progressive agenda that create jobs, raises wages, protects the environment and provides healthcare for all?

Are we ready to take on the power of billionaires, or do we continue to slide down into oligarthy?

These are the most important questions of our time.

We need to answer them.

These answers will determine the future of our country.

Terrorism and Gun Control

JACK TRUMAN FOR U.S. CONGRESS

Missouri 4th Congressional District

There's a lot going on in America right now. We're living in a nation of fear. We're a nation on edge. So much is going on right now with guns, terrorism and fear. And it's time for a change. It's time for us to love one another. It's time for us to listen to one another.

Usually when people think about terrorism, they think about international terrorism with foreign terrorists. But as a country, we have a much bigger problem with domestic terrorism. Looking at things like the Oklahoma City bombing, the school shootings that started with Columbine, the public places like movie theaters where mass shootings take place, and especially what's going on right now, there's constant domestic terrorism going on in America. This is where our focus as a country has to change.

Homeland Security has not done the job that was intended. Since 9/11, all of the hundreds of millions and billions of dollars spent for Homeland Security hasn't stopped people being found with weapons on planes or when they get off planes. Instead of blowing millions of dollars a year on Homeland Security, that money needs to be taken and spent on the next project: changing and protecting the 2nd Amendment.

The 2nd Amendment is where we need to do a lot of work. Americans have the right to bear arms. But when the old white guys over 250 years ago wrote our Constitution, they never wrote it with the vision of assault weapons in mind with the future. Back in those days, you had single shot guns that you had to put gunpowder in to protect yourself in duels, wars and such. This culture is going back to the Wild West days by allowing weapons in schools, government buildings and the public. Instead of this, we need to change and amend the 2nd amendment to ban all assault weapons, and still allow guns in the home for protection. By banning assault weapons, terrorism would reduce, Homeland Security wouldn't be needed the way it is now, and gun violence wouldn't be as rampant in our country.

Terrorism, Homeland Security and the 2nd Amendment.

They're all linked together.

It's time for a change.
It's time for a political revolution.

Declare Your Independence

JACK TRUMAN FOR CONGRESS

Missouri 4th Congressional District

With it being the 4th of July holiday season, I think it's appropriate to talk a little about America: and our Independence and Freedom.

We live in the best country in the world. And it's a shame what this culture's becoming. Look around us. We live in a country of fear. We live in a country of corrupt government. We live in a country where there's no discipline; where people don't follow rules anymore. We live in a country where people are sick and tired of the direction we're heading and are hungry for change.

Are you ready for a political revolution?

It's time to make our country great again.

Webster County: Rural History, 14 Towns & Issues

JACK TRUMAN FOR U.S. CONGRESS

Missouri 4th Congressional District

Let's talk a little bit about Webster County.

I think it's important to bring something back to my home state here in Missouri. Where I grew up. Was raised. Went to school. Own property. And call home.

There's a lot to share about Webster County in Missouri. This is one of 26 counties in the 4th Congressional District of Missouri that I'm running for U.S. Congress in 2016.

You can't get much more rural and down home than in Webster County. The total population here in Webster County is around 36,000 people So it's very rural. Very small town and down home living. Good values. Good morals. Very down home.

Webster County is a great reflection of my campaign for Congress. Being small, rural and to your roots gives you the greater chance to speak your voice, sing your song and let people know about you. Being the underdog forces you to be self made. To have the discipline to be independent to make your destiny.

Webster County is in the southwest central part of the state of Missouri.  In the heart of the Ozarks. Close to my hometown area. Demographically, it's considered a part of the metropolitan area of Springfield. However, it's a very rural area, made up of  10 small towns. From where I live in Lamar, east on Highway 160 to the Springfield area. Once you hit Springfield, you just head a little east on Interstate 44 or old Highway 60, and you're in the county. Very rural, and down home community.

A little bit about Webster county:

Webster County in Missouri started back in 1855.

There's a lot of history: Civil War, Native American and Railroad history in Webster County. A historical area in our country.

The largest town in Webster County is Marshfield. But there's a total of 10 small towns and communities that make up Webster County in Missouri:

Diggins
Elkland
Fordland
Marshfield
Niangua
Northview
Redtop
Rogersville
Sampson
Seymour

I live in Barton County. Barton County in Missouri is a little west of Webster County. Very rural area.

A lot of issues that need to be addressed relate more than ever to small town rural America. And Webster County is no exception.

Taking care of our Farmers. Veterans. Senior Citizens. Children. Education. Health. Equality. The Second Amendment. Drug reform. Prisons, jails and the Criminal Justice system. Small business. The Homeless. Making our country great again. Taking care of our own here domestically, and focusing on the little man and woman. The rural communities are our roots. Where everything got started. There's no discipline anyone. This culture doesn't follow rules. It's time to get back to some basic hometown values and traditions.

I've worked all kinds of jobs from coast to coast.

Got to know all kinds of cultures over my life. From New York to California. Dallas to Chicago. Florida to Utah. All my life. From my childhood to present day.

I have a lifetime of experiences: from education, business, military, public speaking, rural and metropolitan, to creative and innovative experience.

In a nutshell, I've lived a life less traveled. And want to share my lifetime of experiences to make our country a better place. For everyone.

It's time for a radical change. It's time for outsiders who represent the little man and woman to be a part of our government. It's time to shake things up in Washington. It's time for a political revolution.

In fact, I'm a property owner in St. Clair County. And visit it quite frequently. Being a property owner in 2 of the smallest populated counties in the District, as a candidate, I'm a good reflection of being for the rural communities, farmers and the little man and woman. This is home.
