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

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Jesus Christ is my personal savior. I attend daily Mass every chance I am able to do so in an effort to continue to put God first in everything I do. I seek to see value in every human and treat everyone with respect. I try to help people when I am able. I am aware that my actions reflect God and can either encourage one to reach out to God or cause one to reject Him. If I give my word, I endeavor to keep it- being a person of integrity is very important to me. I have not reached my goals yet, but I do better everyday and I am not where I was in the past by God's grace.
Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?
Very Conservative

Additional comment from candidate:
I am seeking the Congressional seat of the 5th District in Tennessee. I believe the person holding this office currently - who has been a congressman for around 26 years- is now an "insider". I think our district needs "fresh ideas" and this is the time to have someone who truly represents the values of the district in office.
