I believe in:

Separation of Church & State

Balanced budget & all the economic benefits it provides

Pay based on skills and experience - and not bias

Equal opportunities for those willing to WORK for them

As many 'Freedoms of choice, as can be rendered without stepping on someone elses Freedoms.

A balance between 'big business who provides so many opportunities - and GREED, EGO, and POWER.

I believe that it is MY body & I should be able to choose how it is used. I should be able to have an abortion if I want, I should be able to choose how I die if applicable.

I have the right to believe in a higher being, or not to believe. I do not want others beliefs shoved on me, or do I have the right to do that to others.

I am lost on gun control - I hate and am afraid of guns & don't know why in God's name, a lot of people want them around. I believe they are dangerous. But, that is me.....Many are hunters or were raised around guns - so, I believe that others have the same right as I do to choose, as long as they do NOT abuse that right. (I wish they had an IQ test for gun owners though ...:-)

I believe in scientific research more than I believe in 'the bible tells me so - and I believe that when science goes too far - both the right and the left will stop it. So, hindering research now for what MIGHT or MIGHT NOT happen in the furure, is bogus.

I believe in political campaigns that do not waste our time and insult our intelligence. Things that happened 30 years ago are not as relevant as things that happened 5 years ago, or views of the future; and the campaign time and commercials should indicate that.

I probably strongly believe in a lot of others things that are not coming to mind - but looking for a qualified candidate who believes as I do...... It certainly is not Bush.... but......... where is he/she?
