As early as his teenage years during the early 1970’s, Dale Blanchard was motivated to want to support actions that would lead to more people living more prosperous lives. His chief concern was the plight of the poor. But he was also very concerned that African-Americans lagged behind non African-Americans in per capital and per house hold incomes. Eventually, this lead to his decision to major in Accounting when he attended collage so that he could learn more about business and economics.

While attending Cleveland State University, Dale Blanchard received a well rounded education, especially in Business Administration disciplines. But the subjects that grabbed his interest the most were Economics, Money and Banking and Business Quantitative Analysis classes. In those classes Dale Blanchard excelled and learned about the American Capitalistic System; how government actions can encourage businesses to take actions that will expand the size of the American Economy faster or slower; how Federal Reserve Board policy can help expand the American Economy and help stabilize prices; and how businesses make decisions on setting prices and determining optimum production output levels. Dale Blanchard believes that this knowledge places him or any Business School major student in a far better position to represent Americans in Congress than any Lawyer who lacks Business School training.

Dale Blanchard wants to be your friend. This does not mean that Dale Blanchard wants to be your buddy, but rather Dale Blanchard wants to be your friend. The difference between a buddy and a friend is that a buddy will tell you things that you want to hear, but a friend will tell you things that you need to hear.

Most successful politicians are successful because they are buddies to a majority of their constituents. They are very good at telling people things that they want to hear, but they fail their constituents by not doing what is in their best interest. Dale Blanchard, however will consistently tell you what you need to hear. And if that means Dale Blanchard will not win an election, so be it! If a candidate is being truthful with the voters, it is up to the voters to support that candidate. If the voters select the buddy who will lie to them by telling them that they can receive rewards without any sacrifice just to get their vote and reject the friend who tells them the truth, then this shows the character of the voters and the voters will receive what they deserve.

Dale Blanchard has good character and has no problem with voters who expect their representatives to have good character. But, Dale Blanchard in return expects voters to exercise good character. When voters exercise good character, they select better representatives. And once Dale Blanchard is elected to office, he will do what is in the best interest of the American People.
