My Political Representatives Performance

I believe our public interests are better served when citizens hold their elected officials accountable for campaign promises and community advancements. Similarly, politicians and civil servants are better informed, more empowered and more closely aligned to their constituent's interests when the citizens recognize their efforts, reward their achievements, question their inactions and demand progress.

PoliticalPerformance.com is my way of offering recognition, accountability and public comment for the elected officials that serve my districts. I'm a resident of the city of Boca Raton, county of Palm Beach and state of Florida. In the interest of full disclosure, I'm conservative but not party affiliated. I take pride in keeping an open mind, remaining flexible in my decision making and find much more interest and value when speaking with people whom I disagree.

Much of the content of this web site speaks to a few of the fundamental tenants which I believe can advance my districts.

• Transparency, objective measurement and accountability are prerequisites toward progress and long term advancement.

• Career politicians are not good for America; Term limits are a good thing for consistent momentum and long-term progress.

• Special interest groups are owed representation, however, their money should not magnify their agendas over the interests of less organized and less funded citizens. Campaign finance reform is a necessary method to balance political representation.

Today's career politicians benefit and owe their livelihoods to special interests, funding and name recognition. The money-power chain link is not good for America and is breakable with active and sustained citizen support. Special interest groups are the most prominent providers of political funding and directly contribute to the politician's dual benefits of funding and name recognition. In fact, for a variety of surmountable reasons, politicians who achieve name recognition - and nothing more - transcend many voter psyche and prosper from continuous reelection. This is an unfortunate cycle.

One goal of this website is to bring recognition along with either reward or penalty for political performance. Visibility along with an expectation of forecasted, measured and sustained results from our elected representatives will advance America more than any other single factor. Hopefully, being a part of a grass roots movement, which leverages the Internet, social networks, community participation and user generated content, will result in a new day whereby incumbent politicians with name recognition alone will be replaced by more capable elected officials and civil servants who prefer to be known by their accomplishments and advances of the peoples' interest. I hope you'll join in my quest for political accountability and greater progress by our elected officials.

Special Thanks to Congressman Tom Davis Congressman Tom Davis (R-VA) doesn't actually serve my district, however, as an advocate of improved information technology by the federal government, his interests are clearly aligned to my position as an information technology executive. I've personally witnessed the federal government's lack of focus, achievements and informed spending in this area. I've also witnessed Representative Davis' advancements in each of these areas and as a taxpayer and technology professional, I acknowledge, appreciate and commend his efforts. Representative Davis is now stepping down from political office. More ...

My Congressman is a Hypocrite After running a campaign on family values and demonizing his opponent (Mark Foley) for unethical sexual acts while holding public office, U.S. Representative Tim Mahoney has admitted to having "multiple" affairs, some of which were occurring while he was attacking his political opponent for the same behavior, and paying more than $140,000 hush money to keep the most recent affair with campaign staffer Patricia Allen quiet. Hey Mahoney - you idiot - ever heard that old adage about people who live in glass houses? I'm less concerned about Mahoney's personal activities and more concerned about the trend of holier-than-though self promotion which is nothing short of complete bigotry and outright lies to constituents.
