If you want to pray at a town hall meeting or a school board meeting or in the halls of Congress, that ought to be acceptable in the United States.

I have always held the conviction that American citizens should keep as much of their hard-earned money as possible.

I believe that government is too large, costs too much, spends too much, and has too much regulatory power in our lives.

Good intentions can often lead to unintended consequences. It is hard to imagine a law intended for the workforce known to Henry Ford can serve the needs of a workplace shaped by the innovations of Bill Gates.

Voters never have to question where I stand - my principles or priorities. I am a pro-freedom, pro-America and pro-life conservative.

Residents of my district continue to stress to me that they want health care decisions to be made by patients and doctors, not by the government and insurance companies.

Americans are hard working, innovative, proud people who want bad government policies and high taxes to get out of the way so they can take care of their families and pursue their dreams.
