As according to Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptist Association, the government cannot officially support one denomination over another, neither can it restrict the free exercise of religion. Our Founders understood that our government was founded upon a foundation of Judeo Christian principles and moral absolutes and as John Adams stated, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." James Wilson, a signer of the Constitution wrote " Far from being rivals or enemies, religion and law are twin sisters, friends, and mutual assistants. Both of these Founders understood that for a limited government, whose primary responsibility is to protect rights, to be effective requires a moral society that respects the God given rights of others and has a respect and a fear of the law. Therefore, our Government is to equally support the Church in its efforts to shape society and culture not to oppress it.

I don't believe that any medical procedure should be forced on any individual.

I do not believe the Constitution gives any power to the federal government regarding health care; however, Medicaid and Medicare are well established government programs that many people depend upon today. Also, many American's have been forced to invest money into Medicare and therefore, the government is obligated to provide the services these individuals have been paying for throughout their decades of employment. I believe Congress must develop a long term strategy would eventually return the full administration, management and funding of Medicaid completely to the state legislatures. Congress should also develop a plan to allow future generations of Americans to invest their money in long term health care programs or health savings accounts instead of forcing them to invest in Medicare.

Over the past several decades, America has become too involved in certain areas of the world, especially in regions where there is no national security interest for the United States. I do believe we have a responsibility to support our allies where their freedom or sovereignty is being threatened, or there is a clear threat to our national security or our vital interests. We should also be ready to help others who are seeking freedom and fighting tyranny. However, we should prioritize the interests, security and needs of America.

First and foremost it to protect Americans from terrorism within our own country and that begins with securing our borders. We should also have accurate and effective screening for anyone entering the United States from foreign countries, especially those known to harbor terrorists. We also need to reform and rebuild our intelligence community, by refocusing its mission on foreign intelligence not social engineering or political engagement, as we have experienced since the Obama administration. When effective we must also stop terrorism before it reaches our borders by targeting their leaders and disrupting terrorist financing, including placing more sanctions on Iran and other nations that fund or harbor terrorists. We should not, by any means enter into any nuclear agreement with Iran.

Those who are truly seeking asylum from tyranny, oppression or harm by government. Those who are seeking freedom and liberty and want to contribute to the advancement of the United States. However, congress must reform our immigration laws to limit immigration, streamline the process and ensure we have secure borders.

The Constitution specifies that the authority to regulate elections is given to the state legislatures, so Congress's role in election law is limited. However, Congress could pass a bill that includes model legislation for states seeking federal funds to implement.

Racism in any form is a threat to a free society. Our nation was built upon the idea that God created everyone equal and in the eyes of our government we are all given equal protection by the government and we all have equal opportunity. Unfortunately, the word racism has become a term used to attack political enemies when they hold differing political philosophies. As a nation that is dedicated to the concept that we are all created equal we must hold everyone to the same standards, equally apply justice and recognize individual liberty regardless of race.
