I'd ask for reductions in all areas except maybe public safety or defense.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

Work with others to provide a free market solution that encourages freedom and choice for consumers while getting the government out of the middle of patients and doctors.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
