He grew up in Atlanta and currently lives in the area with his wife, Gloria (m. 1968). Cain and Gloria have two children and three grandchildren.

What about the ISSUES?

National Security
  1. Limited federal government.
  2. Strong military & borders.
  3. Support our military and veterans.
"National security isn't about politics. It's about defending America."
Spending
  1. Review and revise every federal agency, every government program and expenditure.
  2. Shrink budgets.
"Serious but responsible belt tightening can save businesses, and it can also save our country with the right leadership."
Immigration 
  1. Strengthen and secure our borders.
  2. Enforce our laws and promote the existing path to citizenship.
"Taking a stand on the issue does not mean one lacks compassion, but instead, that one respects the rule of law and the importance of not becoming a lawless nation."
Energy
  1. Release our domestic energy resources.
  2. Allow all forms of energy to develop in a free market system.
  3. Private industry must take the lead for true innovation.
"Let the markets decide which forms of energy fuel our cars, heat our homes and which ones will keep America working."

My thoughts on Cain

Some of you already know that I have had my sights set on Herman Cain before he even threw his hat into the 2012 presidential ring. My reason? Other than the fact that he's a genuine, honest, charming person, I like his business sense and clarity.
