RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The left and their allies have decided that freedom OF religion means freedom FROM religion and that is a false reading of the intent of the Founders. Government should not interfere with the free assembly and worship.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
My son currently serves in the 75th Ranger Regiment. The weakening of standards to attempt to hit recruiting goals has affected the Army by dumbing down the requirements and allowing almost any warm body in -- whether or not they can pass physical fitness or mental fitness requirements. Meanwhile, The Marines have hit their goals by requiring that all who join meet their stringent requirements. The notion that weakening standards or lines of command can strengthen our military is a fallacy.

ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
