Views on Major Issues

We need each other, and no "one size fits everyone" is possible

I believe all life is worth helping it grow and succeed.

I believe in America and a great nation and one that should be getting the best we can offer. Great, Great grandfather was a congressman who designed our flag as we know it today. Modified the one stripe and one star for each new state, to 13 stripes & a new star.

I believe individual rights are important and worth having as the Constitution guarantees. But with those rights comes responsibility, and we need to figure the best way to strengthen responsibilities in order to keep the rights working.

We are all immigrants. The Native Americans came from somewhere else too, across the land-bridge that connected Alaska to Russia 450,000 years ago.

I believe that a blending of skills, abilities, experiences benefits all of us better that just one, Immigration brings us the best from other nations and gives us a chance to be better for it. It comes with a very strong desire to be in our country, future loyal citizens.

Some kind of health plan is needed, because without our health, we can't work, or live the way we want, we can't raise healthy children, healthy children do better in school, to be able to have the best chance they can have.

I believe sacrifices make us a better people. When we are willing to see another person get better because we held back some of our demands, we are going to be a great nation.
