what i believe

• I believe a country should take care of its weakest members. 
• I don't believe your money should be taken from you and given to people who don't want to work.
• I believe healthcare should be far cheaper than it is, and that everyone should have access to it. 
• I believe companies should be required to pay their employees a decent, livable wage. 
•  As I see it, LGBTQ are American citizens, too. Why would their rights be any different? 
•  I believe we should take in refugees, or at the very least not turn them away without due consideration.  
• I don't believe illegal immigrants should come to America and have the world at their feet, especially since THIS ISN'T WHAT THEY DO.
• I believe education should be affordable and accessible to everyone. 
• I believe in funding sustainable energy.
• I don't believe the government should regulate everything, but we do need to protect citizens from governmental and corporate greed. 
• Roe v. Wade has been established law for almost 50 years. We need to move on. 
• I believe that with the right to keep and bear arms must be accompanied by responsibility to be capable of operating them safely.
• I am a Christian.
• I try to be politically correct, but sometimes I fall short. We should not give or take offense over words that are different from our own.

Bottom line - we should take care of each other. There isn’t any scenario in which preventable suffering is an acceptable outcome. Now I hope you have a better understanding of who I am.
