PHILOSOPHY AND BELIEFS

I am, proudly, a Roman Catholic who believes in the true teachings of the Church. Because of that I find it difficult to support the current administration of this nation as regards its positions on abortion, same sex marriage, and embryonic stem cell research. Politically I am a conservative who believes in a strong national defense, control of illegal immigration,a tough stance on crime, a free market economy, and traditional family values. I pray that we will, as a nation,return to those values in the future.
