What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

The tendency to obtain/expand authority and utilize government to pursue self interests that don't reflect the will of the people or the public interest.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe in God, and upholding strong principles and values. I'm a proud husband and father, and take great pride in my family and take very seriously my obligation to raise my children with the highest values and appreciation for others. I also believe strongly in public service, including service to the nation in the U.S. military. I served in the Marine Corps and view my role in Congress as a continuation of service in support of America and in defense of the Constitution.

Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?

Very Conservative

Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.

My voting record is consistent. I support free markets, protecting American sovereignty (at home and oveseas), limited government and a strong national defense. I support personal empowerment, enhancing personal opportunity and allowing hard working Americans and their families to keep more of the money they earn.
