			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Timothy R. Murray has announced that he is running for the Third District Congressional seat currently held from Republican Frank Lucas.</em></p>
<p>Dear: Great Oklahoma Friends</p>
<p>Hello! My name is Timothy R. Murray. I am running for The U.S. House of Representatives in 2012, for the Great State of Oklahoma’s 3rd District. In the following, I share some of my initial goals, as I seek to lead in the United States House Representatives after election.</p>
<p><span id="more-400"></span>My Degree and further Higher Education is from Oklahoma State University in Electronic and Electrical Engineering Technologies. My Professional Career life has been in large Pharmacy Chains and the Marketplace. I have thoroughly enjoyed developing people in their pursuit of higher potential and transforming businesses to higher levels. Now I look to bring my dedication of my leadership into Public Service.</p>
<p>Let me tell you just some of the reasons I have chosen to pursue this endeavor. First, I believe the Constitution of the United States must be upheld regardless of any other purpose. Secondly, I believe every citizen deserves representation. We must create economic benefits for the farmers, ranchers, all other business people, and the young and retired citizens alike. Finally but not last, we must renew Our Government’s commitment to one that safeguards the economy in placing protection for Businesses from raids and other stumbling blocks to maintaining a future of Economic Growth for this century and into the next.</p>
<p>It is my belief, that we must correct the stumbling blocks in our current policy with the following immediate goals:</p>
<p><strong>Create market opportunities for New Jobs Growth and not close doors in Any Sector</strong></p>
<p>We must create incentives for businesses to improve solid new job growth in all tiers of the job market. This will help raise the job sector which will lead to more sustainable thriving economy.</p>
<p>The budget cuts and proposed cuts to The Department of Agriculture will further damage Farming and Livestock businesses. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural exports for 2011 were $132.0 Bil. which was down $5.4 Bil. over 2010’s exports. During the same period, imports were up $11.0 Bil. in 2011 over 2010. We are the world food producer. We can’t suppress Agriculture in Our Economy. We must ensure the Agriculture Market that has adequate support for individual and incorporated farmers. I will not support overall cuts to The Department of Agriculture.</p>
<p><strong>Legislation to significantly help make Health Care More Affordable at the Premium Quality that All Citizens Deserve</strong></p>
<p>We can’t make any further cuts to Medicare. The gap in coverage that is passed along to the patient with supplemental insurance costs is already too significant. We must continue the aggressive look into Medicare miss billing and fraud. This will lower the cost structure of Medicare.</p>
<p>We still have a long way to go on Veteran health care facilities across Our Nation. We must look for long term solutions.</p>
<p>We must create opportunities for all national insurance companies to compete in State’s Medicaid Health Insurance Programs. The competition in the insurance market will lower insurance costs.</p>
<p><strong>Restore Our Commitment to Public Education and Our Teachers</strong></p>
<p>Our Teachers are among the Greatest in The World. We must give our Teachers more freedom of their creativity to teach their students the way that is most beneficial from their prospective. In that, we must bear the cost. Far too much of creative cost has been spent out of Teacher’s income. We must remember from grade school to high school, these students are Our Future.</p>
<p><strong>Equal Opportunity at All Levels of Employment</strong></p>
<p>We have not achieved diversity in all tiers of employment. It is Our responsibility to make     The Dream become REALITY. When Women and People of All Races are given the same consideration in upper level positions then we have made great progress towards The Dream in this decade.</p>
<p><strong>Lower and Eliminate The National Debt</strong></p>
<p>The National Debt is over 15 Trillion. We must get spending under control. I remember when under President’s William J. Clinton Administration the prepared Budgets were on Target to eliminate the National Debt. Each party blames the other side for out of control spending. We must work across the aisles, on each spending measure, and look at the cost in more detail to get spending under control.</p>
<p>We must have open reporting and transparency with Congressional spending. Then voters will then know which Congress person is working for America’s Future and those who are not.</p>
<p>Your voice is of my interest! I look forward to conversation and meeting with all interested in  the election of a more involved, proactive Representative to serve for The Greater Good of All. Please contact me with any suggestions, questions, or comments. God Bless You, and God Bless The United States of America!</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p><strong>Timothy R. Murray</strong><br />
