The Constitution was written and adopted to restrict government, all government.
For much to long ‘We the people’ have been bullied by government overreach into our lives. It needs to stop and our freedoms must be restored.- Constitutional Conservative

My first husband was a dear, sweet man. It was a terrible tragedy actually. All the excitement of the wedding was simply too much for him and he died as we checked into the hotel on our wedding night. My second husband and I got into a terrible fight in the limo on the way to the reception. We haven’t spoken since and got the marriage quickly annulled.
