PERSONAL BELIEFS

Limited government, a strong national defense, low taxes, personal responsibility, individual freedom, and equality for ALL.

Don Norte during a humanitarian mission:Reviewing Cuba's Transportation System
BREAK THE CHAIN
The 2005 PRIUS
AND END OUR DEPENDENCE ON OIL
KEVIN AND DON NORTE are the proud owners of a PRIUS (nicknamed "The First Car of the 21st Century" by people in "The Industry") because it is their own personal contribution to greener forests, cleaner air and less dependence on fossil fuels.  Their WHALE tags read NRDC.  With milage estimates of city/highway/combined of 60/51/55 the PRIUS along with other HYBRID vehicles were the catalyst for California to set higher fuel efficiency standards.

With Governor Schwarzenegger at the helm, California has made groundbreaking progress in the fight against global warming by setting limits on carbon dioxide emissions from automobiles.  California controls the ocean within three miles of its shore and Governor Schwarzenegger issued a truly forward-looking ocean conservation plan for California's coastal waters.
