About Jackie Miller

All of our life stories and individual journeys are as unique as our fingerprints, and we all have a story to tell. Many of us have had life changing events we may initially deem to be unbearable or we can choose to turn them into the blessing God intended.

JULY 2010

...And to the REPUBLIC for which it stands, one Nation under GOD, indivisible, with LIBERTY and justice for all. NOT...And to the democracy for which it stands, one Nation under Congress, divisible, with TYRANNY and injustice (debt) for all. 

I am an eternal optimist about my life and our country and have been blessed beyond my wildest imagination and thank God everyday for even the smallest of things all of us take for granted. However, these feelings did not happen overnight. It took hitting a very harsh "bottom" in life sixteen years ago. A bottom and past which I want to be upfront about and have quite frankly never hidden in order that my story would help others. You need to know why I truly feel that I am the person who will always understand what "real people" are feeling and needing in our country, such as just being listened to.

So here it goes. Sixteen years ago I was convicted for a felony (robbery) for which I received probation and did not go to prison and was honorably discharged in 1997. This was the beginning of a new and miracle filled journey and the blessing of countless "human Angels" God has put on my path. Prior to this time, I truly believed that God hated me and had abandoned me and there were certainly no good humans that cared. I came to understand that not only was I running away from my childhood issues (why I am a huge believer in "Jessica's Law") but that I was the one who had abandoned God. Please, feel free to call me at anytime to have an open and honest discussion with more details.

All of this and far more is a part of my education. I am a "common sense" self educated woman for the most part. I have no "Ivy League" expensive college degree. My real degree comes from the old fashioned "school of hard knocks" which is the most expensive degree of education there is. I learned that up until hitting bottom my entire life had been 'fear driven.' I learned that "walking in fear was walking with Satan." I know longer walk in fear. But walk tall with the courage of my convictions.

However, I did earn my certification to be a chemical dependency counselor in 1999. I enjoyed helping others both personally and professionally walk through the issues behind their individual "feeling stuffers" of choice. I continue to educate myself through avidly reading (accurate) literature in psychology, history and politics. My education also includes being a small business woman. While living in Southern Utah the 'political bug' bit me and through my experience with this I have obtained a priceless education into the "ways of Washington," and have been continuing my education on this ever since, knowing I would someday run for a federal office and hopefully be a part of true reform.

I have been a single Mom. I have been both 'dirt poor' and one of the 'working poor' driving one of those wonderful "Fred Flinstone" vehicles. I am not a wealthy woman, but am privileged to now live a comfortable life, one that I have worked very hard for one small step at a time. I am however, wealthy in all the ways that REALLY count and have become the woman everyone but me knew I could be. A woman of self esteem, self respect, honor and most important integrity.

Now for a few particulars. My husband Bill and I have been married ten years and reside in Mt. Juliet Tennessee along with our "furry sheltie child."

Although I was born in Florida we moved to Las Vegas, Nevada at a very early age and I consider myself a native of Las Vegas. My son whom, when I grow up I want to be just like, as he is the most spiritual human being I know along with my daughter-in-law still reside in California where I also lived for many years, and is where my husband and I met and married. My husband Bill served (20) years in the Marine Corp and honorably served in Vietnam. Bill is a "seasoned citizen," and has been my 'real professor.'

A footnote for all of you is that I am currently working on a full pardon from the state of Nevada in order that I may go into jails and prisons to give back to other women what was so graciously given to me. It was the selfless time and sharing of women that had walked in my shoes that gave me strength "one day at a time" to keep going on.

I will work every bit as hard for you, with the same drive and passion as I did with my personal life. When you send us to Washington, to represent you in the 5th District of Tennessee I will consider this call to service to be the greatest privilege and honor of a lifetime.

Sincerely,
Jackie Miller
