About me: Integrity, Duty, Honor and Responsibility aren’t just words to Charlie Brown. They are the guiding principles of an officer and a true patriot who has devoted his life to serving his country.
As the son of a decorated World War II veteran, Charlie has always understood the importance of defending America. At age 13, he read an article about the Air Force in the Saturday Evening Post, and knew immediately that he wanted to be a pilot. He dedicated himself to that goal, and the hard work paid off. Charlie received a Congressional appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1968.
After graduating in 1972, he began a distinguished 26-year Air Force career during which he was involved in every U.S. military conflict from Vietnam to Desert Storm.
Charlie retired from the Air Force as a Lieutenant Colonel in 1998, but he’s never stopped living the oath he gave when his career began: to lead with honor and integrity, to defend the constitution, to fight for the freedom and security of every American, and most importantly, to “leave no one behind.”
He’s remained true to his values. In 1996, Charlie was elected Chair of the Supervisory Committee of a $5 million local Credit Union. Responsible for fiscal oversight of an institution rife with waste and abuse, Charlie didn’t turn a blind eye. He stood up for the fiscal responsibility that his members deserved.
Charlie continues to serve. He’s earned his California Teaching credential, spent the past 8 years on the Professional Staff of the Roseville Police Department, was elected to two terms as Vice President of the Roseville Police Association, and has been a tireless advocate for veterans rights, seniors, middle class families, and the environment.
Charlie’s wife of 34 years, Jan, also served in the Air Force as a nurse. His son Jeff is an Air Force Captain, who just returned from his fourth rotation in Iraq. His daughter Stacey just finished up her degree at UC Irvine. Stacey and Jeff both attended Public Schools, and the Brown’s have lived in Roseville, California for the past 16 years. Charlie is an avid runner, bicycler, and kayaker.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone in California's 4th Congressional District and beyond who is ready to take off the partisan blinders we've worn as a nation for too long, roll up their sleeves, and get real work done for the good of this country.
A special thank you to the men & women who are fighting the fires all across Northern California-- you are all heroes and deserve the utmost respect.

Lt. Col Brown - congratulations on your new position with the Obama administration! How exciting! I can't wait to see what you bring to Washington. Best of luck!
I was unable to post this statement on Youtube. Can you help me with censorship, I feel as if I am living in Nazi Germany. I was trying to post on all health care reform videos to get attention to Republicans
As a libertarian I laugh at the people who called Truthers crazy. President Bush and his administration contrived 911 to expand the powers of the president and to take away american civil liberties. Republicans are living a nightmare that was created by letting the previous administration run amuk with power. I saw this coming from day 1. LOL. Audit the Fed hr 1207 s604
Thank you for being a MySpace friend. I hate "spamming" but really want to share this:
It's been a juggernaut, but "IF THE RAINS DON'T CLEANSE" (my novel about my parents' experiences as schoolteachers in 1950s Africa) is finally marked as "IN STOCK" at Amazon.com. Over the 4th of July weekend they sold out and for almost a week I was horrified that would-be readers were seeing a red "OUT OF STOCK" message when they tried to get a copy.
But all is now well, RAINS is getting strong reviews and a grown-up readership, and I'm thrilled.
I invite you to visit my MySpace blog to read a sample chapter or two ... and listen to an audiobook excerpt. Thanks.

I just donated again and I suggest everyone who can does the same! Sadly, real democracy isn't cheap in 2008 America. Hopefully that will change, but for now, pony up folks! GO CHARLIE!
Hey everyone, Help Charlie become the DailyKos Hell To Pay candidate of the week. The place to vote for Charlie is right on top of the main page at www. dailykos. com. They raise thousands of dollars for one amazing democratic candidate every Saturday night. Let's make this one count for the CA-04!!!
Thanks Charlie for the birthday acknowledgment. Thats awesome. I am no longer with REI. School, and work at a daycare take up much of my time. And you, how are things?
Thank you for the Townhall phone call tonight. It was nice to hear others with their concerns for America and this district. You go Charlie. ps I put my lawn sign out today. It was from 2006. I saved it.
