~I love being a conservative. We conservatives are proud of our philosophy. Unlike our liberal friends, who are constantly looking for new words to conceal their true beliefs and are in a perpetual state of reinvention, we conservatives are unapologetic about our ideals.~We are confident in our principles and energetic about openly advancing them. We believe in individual liberty, limited government, capitalism, the rule of law, faith, a color-blind society and national security.~We support school choice, enterprise zones, tax cuts, welfare reform, faith-based initiatives, political speech, homeowner rights and the war on terrorism.~And at our core we embrace and celebrate the most magnificent governing document ever ratified by any nation ~ the U.S. Constitution. Along with the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes our God-given natural right to be free, it is the foundation on which our government is built and has enabled us to flourish as a people.~We conservatives are never stronger than when we are advancing our principles.

During my high school years, I was awarded numerous citations for driving like a leader. When challenged, I get excited. When I feel I'm being tested, I get angry. When money enters the picture, I think of "The Americans Who Risked Everything" by Rush. I know the experience of taking the risk to own my own business. I know what it means to meet a "payroll" and make payroll deposits. I've worked in the Real Estate Housing market and understand the American Home Owner's watchful eye on their millage rate. I have worked in the investment banking industry and have been licensed by the New York Stock Exchange. I know the value of money. I love my country and I love my family. I never question my creator and I never doubt myself. Jesus is my mediator. I let the Creator lead me. I'm not afraid of failure. To make a friend, TWO people have to be in agreement on ONE thing. Republicans believe the most effective government is government closest to the people. "And ONE standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but TWO can stand back-to-back and conquer; THREE is even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken." Ecclesiastes 4:12
