I value human life and believe in the fundamental decency of human beings. Politically, I am a centrist. I do not believe in party labels. I look at the qualities, integrity, honesty and achievements of a person when I decide my vote.I never miss any vote. I firmly believe in term limits. I consider elective office as a means of serving people, and not a lifetime career with retirement benefits and perks! I love my country, I respect our Constitution and I respect diversity and differing viewpoints.I believe in economic and social equality among genders,and more respect for women that we as a nation show. My father told me that God gave us two eyes, two ears and only one mouth, which means that we should hear and see twice as much as we speak! I follow his advice to the Tee. I respect Jesus Christ, Mahatma Gandhi, Buddha, Mohammad and Martin Luther King, Jr. They have given us morals and values that we should practice and hold close to our hearts.
