What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Imperfection. No human is perfect and they all sin. The Constitution keeping separate and limited powers within the government is a preventable measure from men who are greedy and corrupt to abuse or hold an unequal amount of power over the people.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Rape, incest, life of the mother. Through my work with the Children's Advocacy Center, I have spoken to a young lady who was raped by her biological father at the age of 14. Her doctors explained the baby would be stillborn and she carried until the baby was born. The baby was in fact stillborn and the child left with emotional scars for life. This is my reasoning behind the answer to the question.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in God. I believe that his only son, Jesus Christ gave his life on the cross for all men and for our salvation. My values directly reflect this belief.
Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?
Very Conservative
Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.
As a public school board member, I've always voted to lower taxes. As a businessman, I know that the only way to provide a good business climate and free enterprise is for the government to be small, live within its' means and stay out of the way of business owners. I am a member of both the Texas State Rifle Association, the NRA and I am pro-life. I believe these credentials prove that I am very conservative.
