Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

None. Abortion is murder. There are always other options to abortion.

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

Checks and balances, to prevent tyranny by government of one branch over another.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian, I believe in God, and I have accepted our Lord Jesus into my heart as my Lord and Savior. I have been baptized, and I feel that God is guiding me on my journey to fight for the freedom of our country, and restore it to the constitutional republic that it was founded to be.

Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?

Very Conservative
