Common Sense, The yearning to be free, free to grow the 'ideas' that brought forth the wealth and a large middle class without the burden or quagmire of government.
16. Briefly list three (3) political or legislative issues of most concern to you, and explain why each is important to you.
1. Lower taxes. Companies and the wealthy are taking their money and thus jobs out of the u.S.A. because we are no longer the lowest tax burden. 2. Lower regulations. Who can compete in a web of rules too complicated for the average person or business person. The United States grew to become a wealthy country with a large middle class because "ideas" could grow and flourish. It was open to anyone to compete. This competition kept prices affordable for a flourishing middle class. Now everything gets caught in the muck of rules and those who can afford to figure them out can command their price. And those who can't cut through the red tape are all that closer to poverty. 3. Honest money supply. Those who control the currency, control it's value. Currency wars are being played around the world those days and with them the flow of jobs. We need the peoples money to be backed by stable commodity(s) as gold was in the past.

Yes. of course rape, mental illness, and incests. First trimester.

God, Citizens(Voters), Constitution, Supreme Court, Congress, (unbiased) Media, Industry, Academia, Professional Sports,.
19. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Christian, I feel I should be able to do what I want, with/without my property, so long as I don't harm, or cause fraud against anyone or their property.
