Jacques Ditte: Extended bio.

I am a first generation American, born in New York, of French parents.
My passion for politics came no doubt from the life experiences my parents endured and overcame. My love for the United States as the last greatest bastion of Freedom, has existed since my earliest childhood memories.

My father & mother grew up in during WWII in occupied France. My father was taken prisoner, was forced to quarter German soldiers in his home. My Uncle was the French Resistance.

My mother, lived through the occupation, plane bombings and daily food rationing. She lived with food rationing and witnessed French citizens executed by Nazi soldiers on her way to school.

Last year, I survived a hard battle with throat and lymph node cancer. Cancer is a life altering chapter in one’s life. In my case it further cemented my core values and blessed me with a special appreciation of the finite time we all have.

Asides from volunteering my time to help other cancer patients through “Blog For a Cure”, I now focus my time and energies on causes I believe in; notably the promotion of our nation’s founding principles of Individual liberty, by helping those people and organizations who wish to preserve the same.

I am fundamentally guided by my unwavering knowledge that we are all endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, among them Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. I am an unabashed Constitutional Conservative. My political values are firmly grounded in Individual Liberty, limited government and State Sovereignty. The core Constitutional principles of our Union for which that hundreds of thousands of patriots fought and died.
