You'll get emails whenever I post articles on OpEdNews

I am a Nationally Certified Acute Care Nurse Practitioner/ARNP with an MBA in Health Systems Management and a former financial advisor Series 7 and 63. I was the Democratic Nominee in both 2006 and 2008 for Florida's 5th District U.S House seat in Florida.

Please consult my website www.johnrussellforcongress.com for detailed info about myself and my positions on the issues.

I am interested in speaking credibly and forcefully on what I believe are the most important policy issues to ordinary Americans at the present time. These include Health Care, Energy, Economy and Foreign Policy.

In addition, given my experience in elective politics I will continue to speak out on the issue that in reality trumps ALL other matters political and that is Fair Elections.

We must fight to expose the root cause of poor government and "corporate skuldugery" and that is the Lobbyist gun that is to the head of every elected official which of course is the Lobbyist checkbook.

Unless we take matters into our own hands we will have no one to blame but ourselves. Discussion of my election contest in 2006 appears on page 375 of Mark Crispin Miller's revised edition of "Fooled Again."

I will keep you posted! Thanks, John Russell
