Expect Style Photography and DJ Music

Introduction

My name is Curt Hanser and I teach American History, Government, and Economics. Previously I taught business and computer classes at the high school and community college level.

 

My education includes completion of the teaching certification program at The University of Phoenix, a Master of Arts degree from Webster University in St. Louis Missouri, and a Bachelor of Science degree from Southern Illinois University.  I have an Arizona teaching certificate and I am certified to teach History and Business at the secondary level, grades 7- 12.

 

What I do in my spare time

My wife, Cindy, and I own a business called Expect Style.  We offer portrait, wedding, and event photography; DJ music & karaoke for receptions and parties; along with specialty travel & cruise vacations.  If you would like to know more about what I do in my spare time, you can visit our web site at www.ExpectStyle.com

 

Most of our wedding and party business takes place in Laughlin. We have also done business in Las Vegas, Nevada; Kingman, and Lake Havasu City, Arizona; along with Long Beach, Cambria, and Palm Springs, California. We also did a wedding at the Sandals Royal Bahamianin Resort in Nassau, Bahamas.

Cindy is also a travel agent, and since we both love cruising, we take 1 or 2 trips a year.  This past summer we took a two week cruise from Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada to Anchorage, Alaska.

We have also cruised to Hawaii, Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Panama Canal, Roatán Honduras, the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, the San Blas Islands of Mexico, and Key West Florida.

...in conclusion

I promise to you that each day I will use my educational training, my business experience, and my best judgment to teach the history of our country and pass on the lessons that previous generations have learned.

 

Sincerely,

Mr. Hanser

On Education

"The federal government has no constitutional authority to fund or control schools.

The federal government does not own our children. Yet we act as if it does by letting it decide when, how, and what our children will learn. We have turned their futures over to lobbyists and bureaucrats.

I support giving educational control back to parents, who know their children better than any politician ever will.

By abolishing the unconstitutional, wasteful Department of Education, (FY 2010 budget of $63.7 billion) removing the federal subsidies that inflate costs and returning its functions to the states, schools can be funded by local taxes, and parents and teachers can directly decide how best to allocate the resources.

Years of centralized education have produced nothing but failure and frustrated parents. We can resurrect our public school system if we follow the Constitution and end the federal education monopoly."

On Politics
 
It is our right to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity through the election, at all levels of government, of candidates who will uphold the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. It is our duty to limit the federal government to its delegated, Constitutional functions and to restore American jurisprudence to its original Biblical common-law foundations.

Movie Quote
 

"The path of the righteous is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil.  Blessed are those, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness...And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers and sisters."

 

Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) ~ Pulp Fiction
