> 1. Defining marriage as a union of one man and one woman
I don't care either way about gay marriage, why should it be anyone's business.
> 2. Protection for unborn children
Far too many human beings are already here, why force more, especially since they are unwanted.
> 3. Strong defense, including adequate funding for our military
I'd agree with this. But lets not start wars & lets not leave the country except for defending an ally.
> 4. Being proactive against terrorism
This would be good, but the military should have nothing to do with this as they do more harm than good.
> 5. Support for Israel's right to exist
How is this our business?
> 6. Separation of "church" and state - not God and state
Both should be seperated from the state.
> 7. Less taxation
Agree.
> 8. Giving individuals more control over their money
Agree.
> 9. Passing initiatives to help small businesses succeed
Agree.
> 10.Promoting more involvement of churches and private institutions in providing for the underprivileged and making this less a role for the federal government.
State should provide for the underpriviliged.
> 11. Developing an American economy that is not dependent on foreign oil
Agree.
