Grateful American
My name is Robert Garrison. I live in Washington State. I received an M.A. in political science (with honors; concentration American Government & Politics) from American Public University System (APUS) in 2013. I received a B.A. in political science (with honors) from APUS in 2010. I want to be a paid political consultant. I am disabled with Cerebral Palsy. (CP) and use a wheelchair. I want to work with the people that serve our nation’s government. I decided to go into politics after the 2000 election and 9/11 happened. In my off time, I enjoy listening to old time radio (OTR) shows from the 1920-1960’s, reading biographies and watching TV, especially game shows, cable news and C-SPAN. I follow the political goings on in both the U.K. and Canada in addition to the U.S.
