ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
I feel the branches of our government should work together to pass legislation that is beneficial to all citizens and uphold our laws and pass new laws and policy that benefits us all and not just certain groups of people based on what political party has the majority of members. The government should serve as check and balances of what states are doing but not interject themselves in ways such has mandates and forces people to be controlled. I support less government.
