Robin B. Tucker is ...

a community minded individual living in District 2 Cedar Rapids and District 2 Iowa. I have a strong interest in public policy. I served on the Local Home Rule Charter Commission in 2004-05. I am a proponent for Limited Spending, Limited Government, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. I ran for District 2 Cedar Rapids in 2007. I want to see unity develop again in our community. Cedar Rapids is a community. Most wouldn't consider our community Rural, but to suggest it's Urban would be wrong. I had the pleasure of chairing in Linn County the volunteer effort for Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks for U.S. Congress. Feel free to contact me, if you want to know Why I say it that way in this Blog or would like to discuss matters?

Think, say or do ...

The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do

FIRST: Is it the TRUTH?

SECOND: Is it FAIR to all concerned?

THIRD: Will it build GOODWILL & BETTER FRIENDSHIP?

FOURTH: Will it be BENEFICIAL to all
concerned?
