| Collapse all
I work in the private sector with automated robotics. I am a father of 6, pro-life, conservative, supportive of gun rights, term limits, and limiting government power and spending.
- Constitutional amendment for term limits to federal office
- Replacement of the 16th Amendment (income tax) with a 3% federal sales tax on only new purchases.
- Pro-life father of 6, supporter of the 2nd Amendment
Limiting the size and function of the federal government to only what is specifically written in the Constitution. Making sure law abiding citizens have no barriers to owning fire arms. Having a national discussion on whether or not to leave the United Nations. School reform including school choice and focusing on education of American history to our children. Forcing term limits on federal elected officials.
I think a lot about the framers and founders of our country more than anyone else in history. I think of their sacrifice and how hard each day must have been. I often think of George Washington sitting around the fire praying to God that He would give them one more day to keep fighting the British. I think a lot about the cold and tired soldier during the Revolutionary War. I think of Hamilton and Jefferson and Ben Franklin looking out the window in Philadelphia wondering if all this was really worth it and if the British would burst in at any moment and hang me the next day. I think of the wives of these patriots wondering if everything they had would be destroyed by the British.
I would like to follow Washington's term limits for office. Our freedom is not so precious that it is dependent on any one person to serve their entire life in office. Freedom needs no king.
I would recommend that someone go the Prager University's website and watch their videos to understand what kind of person I am.
Honor, integrity, honesty,
I am a good communicator. I am an honest and hardworking individual.
To be a voice for their state in Washington DC. To keep government from infringing upon our liberties and only allowing government to exist as the founders intended. To cut wasteful government spending.
I would like to see federal term limits passed. I would also like to see the income tax abolished.
I clearly remember Boris Yeltsin on top of a tank on television showing the fall of communism in Russia. I also remember seeing video of the fall of the Berlin Wall. I was 9 when the wall fell and 11 when communism crashed in Russia.
I was a server and greeter at a small local restaurant in my home town. I worked there for most of college so about 4-5 years.
Anything by Tom Clancy. He had a great way of taking you into the story rather than reading it as an observer.
Rich Men North of Richmond.
Finding enough time to exercise!
Dealing with over taxation, illegal immigration, over regulation that hurts business. Free and fair elections.
I believe at most two terms to the US Senate is enough. I may support the limit of 1 elected term to the US Senate if given the opportunity to vote for that.
The given duty to advise and consent on appointments from the President. The ability to represent the will of the people.
No. In fact it may hurt them.
It is a great tool to help keep government over reach from hurting individual freedom.
Why did the banana go to the doctor? It wasn't peeling well.
How does that nominee view the Constitution and function of government.
Find other senators who believe in limited government and term limits. I would also seek to work with senators who would only support spending money on what is in the Constitution.
Yes, to a point. There is too much emphasis on bi-partisanship which today means conservatives need to be the only ones that compromise on an issue.
Only to focus on government abuse of spending and over reach. Not to investigate crimes of individuals. It should also oversee that states do not infringe upon the Bill of Rights.
Asking those appointees what is the function and role of government. Can they justify the office they are seeking as being essential for the preservation of individual liberty. Is this individual good for freedom or good for big government?
