Title
2006 Democratic Congressional Candidate Barry Michaels
Description
I believe in being honest and have often preached; "if you tell the truth, you'll never forget what you said" and believe me I’ve learned this lesson the hard way. Being honest may sound trite in today’s world but I think it is essential, especially in government to earn the peoples’ trust and equally important is the willingness to take responsibility for one’s actions.
I have what most would consider a “checkered past” and have paid the price several times over. I am a convicted white-collar offender (ex-felon) who spent fifteen months of a twenty-one month sentence at the minimum security Nellis Federal Prison Camp in North Las Vegas for security and tax violations that occurred in 1992.
Being convicted does not necessarily mean being guilty but long ago I decided I couldn’t win this battle so I “productively” served my time. Looking back I can honestly say; "I believe this sentence was payback time for prior business practices that were not always above board." I believe some were due in part to my lack of knowledge of the law. This is a part of my life that I'm not proud of but it is a part of my past and believe me, I've learned a very costly lesson from it. To prevent others from making the same mistake, I intend to propose that basic law classes (both criminal and business) be taught in our public school system.
