Army Veteran- Married with children- Graduated CMU with Masters Degree- I am a Republican, a moderate Republican. I believe in small Government, I believe in low taxes, I believe in capitalism. I believe in a representative government. I believe in tight immigration. I am Pro-2nd Amendment, Pro- Death Penalty. I am against abortion as a means of birth control but favor it in the case of rape, incest, or if the mother or baby are in serious threat. I believe that stem cell research is a must but not something that the government should fund. I also believe that embryonic stem cell research should not be done. Life begins at conception. I am not a religious person, but believe that everyone has a right to be. I do not believe that religion or the so-called “intelligent design theory” should be taught in public science classes. This is not a science. If comparative religion is taught at a public school, that is fine, as long as it is not taught in science, and make sure all belief systems are taught and compared. I am against Racial and Sexual discrimination and therefore am against Affirmative Action in hiring and school admissions. I am against same sex marriage (and also a constitutional amendment to ban them) but in favor of civil unions. I believe that Unions are what’s wrong with American workers today, not globalization. The socialistic “Robin Hood” attitude of these unions hurt today’s educationally advanced culture of workers. The unions have become nothing more than a political action committee in favor of pushing a platform that favors Democrats and bashes Republicans. I believe that the ACLU destroys our rights more than protects them. I believe that security and safety is our number one priority. Capitalism will take care of our economic concerns. I once considered myself a Regan Democrat. Now I consider myself a Moderate Republican. I want to distance myself from the vitriolic Democrat party because I think that they have no clue as to what many mainstream Americans hold dear. I also do not agree with the far-right Conservatives when it comes to governing this nation according to their religious beliefs. I am not a one-issue voter. I try to judge every candidate on every issue and vote accordingly.
