I look forward to exercising my American civil liberties and getting fully, completely and legally married this year to my true love of over three years, Linda Wallem.

My wife works harder than anyone else with the children around the house. I make the money, sure, but she does everything else.

The sign says do not enter, no trespassing allowed. With visions of redemption I walk against the crowd.

I believed in Obama for social issues. I believe he brought our nation together and healed our racial divide. Martin Luther King's dream came true when he was elected. That's huge.

There will always be someone else with a different view than you. I appreciate them and would never say that they are wrong. I hope that they would give me that courtesy also.

Everybody's got a hunger no matter where they are. Everybody clings to their own fear. Everybody hides some scar - Precious pain. Empty and cold but it keeps me alive. I gave it my soul so that I could survive - keeping me safe in these chains.

Don't let anyone tell you that you have to be a certain way. Be unique. Be what you feel.
