What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
The nature to gravitate to abuse once in the power. The Founder's, after gaining their freedom from the tyrant king George, were concerned that a President could also become a tyrant so it established 3 branches of government with specific powers involving checks and balances for each other. James Madison believed involving human nature with our government we needed to "build safe guards into our government to prevent abuses from our leaders."
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Jesus is the Son of God, He came down and die for my and your sins. I have accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. I am not a perfect man, I have made some poor decisions in life and I know I will sin until the day I'm called home but I know I'm forgiven. I work to do the right things in life, I am not intimidated or bashful of expressing my beliefs in a pubic setting or hostile environment. I have been blessed to be married 39 yrs to a beautiful lady, we have 3 adult children, 8 grandchildren. 2 of our kids and 4 of our grandkids have chosen and have been water baptized at our church which we have attended for 27 years.

Additional comment from candidate:
I have never ran for public office but like many people I get sick and tired of people once elected forget about the citizens which elected them. They pursue their own agenda, have little regard for their constituents and spend our money as if it was their own. I will answer to the people which I am elect to represent. I will be an accountable steward of the money entrusted to me, I will be involved with my community and be a voice for them and not my agenda. While everyone may not agree with what I may do, their best interest will be what I work for.
