“I am a big supporter of gun rights, however I do not see this as a gun rights issue as much as it is an issue of state sovereignty. I would absolutely like concealed carry permits to be recognized universally but I think the right way to go about this is to ask our representatives to work with the r…”
“This is simple. The Constitution explicitly defines what the Federal Government has the authority to do and what it does not. Granted we have overstepped those boundaries by a lot and for most of this country's history, but it is time to reel the Federal Government back in. Simply put, States Rights…”
“The president has the authority to deploy the Marine Corp without congressional authority. The Office of the President (does not matter who the President is, or if I like that particular President or not) should not be given this authority because it encroaches on the system of checks and balances t…”
“This is common sense. Our prisons are overflowing with nonviolent offenders, pot is already easily attainable for minors and by regulating it like alcohol there is a potential to decrease this supply through the regulation of the supply chain. Not time ruin that the tax revenue would be substantial.…”
“Fundamentally I agree with many who oppose this on the grounds that it is not Congress' responsibility to manage international issues.

I am going to come out and say it, the military-industrial complex is corrupt, just like we were warned it would be. Government contractors continue to rip-off the Am…”
“Raising the federal minimum wage would be an economic disaster. Inflation would skyrocket and the value of the dollar would plummet as wages went up across the board to account for the change in cost-of-living that will inevitably be passed on to the consumer. Companies will protect their profit mar…”
“Legally we define death as when the heart stops beating, therefore I believe that legally we should define life as when the heart starts beating. I am proud to be a Christian and to be fair Christians don't believe in death, only eternal life by the glory of God. Therefore an earthly life and death …”
“I am morally opposed to abortions, with exceptions such as endangerment of the mothers' and babies' lives. That does not give me the right to tell someone else what to do or believe, but it does give me the right to request that they not use my tax money for the procedure. I think that abortion is a…”
“This act does contain many good clarifications to the original equal pay act. However; I am voting "nay" because I think that there needs to be a negotiation clause in this bill.
