Create a friendly business atmosphere, ensure education prepares our kids for entering the work force starting in high school.

Reduce Taxes, Reduce unnecessary regulations that are barriers to business development and job creation. It should never pick winners and losers just make the playing field level.

Religious Liberty

Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

I believe we need to make healthcare more competitive and personal to the individual. Instead of healthcare being associate with the employer it should be associated with the individual so that the policy follows the individual and avoids disruption of coverage creating a possible pre-existing condition, this would eliminate that from occurring.

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

First I believe the founders were blessed with divine providence by God. They had the foresight to limit the powers of the Federal Government and leave the states with the ability to make decisions on issues in an independent manner with the exception of National Security and just a few enumerated powers listed in the Constitution. So I believe Gods almighty hand was at work.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe that Jesus Christ the Son of God was incarnate by the virgin Marry came to earth was crucified and died and rose on the 3rd day from the dead to save all mankind if only they profess that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Redeemer. I am a Christian member of the Lutheran Missouri Synod. I believe in the bible and that it is the True Word of God and his commandments. I believe that all of the human race is made in the image of God and that we are his Children. I also believe we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. I am a Sinner but believe that Jesus Christ innocent suffering and death on the cross has saved me from certain damnation. I believe their is a heaven and that Jesus will come again to Judge the quick and the dead and on that day we'll go to heaven or hell.
