My Philosophy

Let's make this simple:

I am a pragmatic social liberal and a fiscal conservative.

I believe in personal responsibility.  But I also believe in a responsible helping hand.

I believe that Government should assure all citizens the opportunity to succeed.

I believe in an economic policy that puts the needs of American citizens ahead of the interests of "big business."

I believe that Government regulation should be limited to matters of health and safety -- both personal and financial -- and the prevention of fraud and abuse.

I believe that the Government must protect our natural resources in a responsible manner.

I believe in a progressive income tax based on rules that are uniformly applied to all taxpayers.

I believe that “government” services should be provided through private business—if private business can provide the service at a lower cost.

I believe that all program planning, administration and fund allocation decisions should be made at lowest feasible level of government--where the services are delivered—with the least possible bureaucracy.

I believe that interpretation of the U.S. Constitution should reflect the needs of the times and be constrained only by specifically stated mandates or constraints.

I believe that every citizen has a duty to make his or her voice heard.
