1). Provide for the Common Defense--there are only a few things Washington should be doing according to the Constitution and one of them is to provide for the Common Defense. We must get our priorities back as a nation and shore up our national security and stop the Administration's onerous cuts which are hollowing out our forces.. 2).

19. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian believing God created me and loves me but my sin separated me from God. Thankfully, He sent his son, Jesus, to the Earth years ago to take my punishment on himself and make a way for me and others to be reconciled to God. I accepted what Jesus did for me when I was nine years old, repented of my sins, and asked Jesus to be Lord of my life. I am thankful for the relationship I have with the Lord and rely on Him for peace, strength, and wisdom.
