My name is Richard “Dick” Schaefer — former Marine, Vietnam vet, and an unapologetic conservative (some would say “toxic,” I’ll wear it). I believe in preserving America’s core: individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and a strong national defense. I call out policies that trade the country’s long-term good for short-term party power. And if it sounds loud sometimes, picture Sam Kinison: “You want a democracy? GO WHERE THE DEMOCRACY LIVES!”
