- I believe our representatives in government have not been doing what is best for the citizens of this country. Overspending, Unconstitutional laws, promoting degeneracy - the list goes on. Instead of uniting America, they want to segregate based on religion, ethnicity, income and undermine our morality. I view all Americans by the content of their character and not by their skin, as they should be. Balance the budget, follow the constitution, and promote values our country was founded on.
- If we don't have strict border security measures put in place, illegals will enter with impunity. Our poor immigration policy enables them to do this. We must secure the border and then implement an immigration policy that examines the applicants in a thorough, yet rapid pace.
- Whatever happens out in the world, will eventually affect us. We, as Americans, must help establish order amid the chaos that plagues our world. Ensure our allies uphold to their end of the agreements. Combining efforts within NATO into a force of peace. Making sure leaders with territorial ambitions know our military and those of our allies will stop such goals.
Voting for laws that better the lives of Americans.
