What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Reason
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
"Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear."
Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?
Conservative

Additional comment from candidate:
Obamacare should be replaced, not repealed. There are so many people now dependent on Obamacare policies that we need to provide some kind of transition. Although I do not favor providing federal funds to abortion service providers, I think the number of adoptions would be increased if it was required that every abortion provider that accepts federal monies should be required to provide in-clinic access to an adoption counselor.
