Please list up to three issues or projects that you think need the most attention.
1. Our US census needs to include US citizens, only. This is the only way to protect election integrity and have a fair representation in our house and senate. 2. The US dollar is not stable and we need to move towards gold and silver to back it. 3. Government has grown to large and needs to be scaled back. This includes being overtaxed from State, Federal and Local Govs.
