The First Amendment Rights Our freedoms of speech and religion are being eroded rapidly by three agendas. They are the Homosexual,Islamic,and Atheist agendas. This loss of freedoms must be stopped.The loss of our freedoms means loss of our voice in all aspects of government. Any loss of freedoms by any agenda is contrary to our Constitution. Uncontrolled spending A nation in debt is a weak nation and will destroy itself unless spending is controlled. Immigration The immigration issue is indicative of no respect for law both by our govt. and illegal immigrants. Our tax dollars and jobs are going to illegal immigrants while American citizens suffer. Respect for law is essential for our survival as a Nation.

17. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
The Bible is the inspired Word of God. One God in three persons-Father- Son and Holy Spirit. The Virgin birth, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. That Christ died for our sins and those who trust in Him are declared Righteous and are in right relationship with God. I believe God gave us guidelines and values found in the Bible and for our society to function best we need to apply them. Namely love God with all our hearts first and second love our neighbors as ourselves.
