16. Briefly list three (3) political or legislative issues of most concern to you, and explain why each is important to you.
1. Increased Opportunities and a Higher Standard of Living: Higher prices, increased taxes and increased regulations, and a decline in education relative to the rest of the world is resulting in a loss of opportunities for Americans, and a lower standard of living, unlike anything most of us have ever seen in our lifetimes. The solution is not more government in our lives. The answer is less. 2. Smarter Government: Our government is involved in too many things that can be done better and more cost-effectively by ordinary citizens, organizations, charities, and companies competing in the marketplace. Government and the private sector all need to play their proper role. 3. A Secure Future: Our nation's $17 Trillion debt (and multiples of that in under-funded liabilities), threaten the future of generations to come. Our nation must stop spending money it does not have. And stop spending on things that don't make common sense.
17. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?
Only in situations where the continued pregnancy is likely to cause the death of the mother.

Based on the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, please arrange the following entities, starting with the highest source of authority, and continue the list in descending order of authority, skipping any that do not apply: Academia, Congress, Constitution, God, Industry, Media, Professional Sports, Supreme Court, Voters.

19. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I'm 50 years of age. I became a follower of Jesus Christ at 29 years. Jesus is my role model on how I should live my life.
