- Cannabis and hemp: LEGALIZE IT! Preferably with an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. We could end deforestation and the oil industrial complex with one shot, through the full blown legalization of cannabis and hemp worldwide. If you don't already understand the benefits of cannabis and hemp in the year 2016, please take some time to educate yourself on the numerous benefits of these beautiful plants.
- Second Amendment: How are you supposed to defend yourself against a tyrannical government when it starts formulating into a militarized police state, due to fear? What happens when said government no longer acknowledges the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution, and Bill of Rights? I believe the forefathers of this great country of ours understood that an organized entity such as a country's government will always have the ability to fend off the general population, but "We The People..." might not always be afforded this same luxury against said government.
- GMO labeling: Everyone has the right to know what is being put into their body and if it has been altered through any means other than a naturally occurring process.
- Abortion: I do not agree with abortions as I believe they are both morally and ethically wrong. I also believe strongly in the individual liberties and rights of the citizen. I believe that no man has the right to determine what a woman can do with her body and vice versa. I don't believe the government should be involved in what should be a discussion between a woman and her doctor. But since the topic of abortion can be a very important issue for people especially since we're talking about the proposed aborting of a future human being, that has no concept or distinction between good vs. evil, I wanted to clarify my stance on being pro choice.
