Why I'm voting...

I'm voting Republican because I own a gun, and believe in my 2nd Amendment right to protect myself and my family from murderers and thieves.

I'm voting Republican because I believe in marriage between one man and one woman. (I’m teaching Biology this year, and this works with the idea of reproduction.)

I'm voting Republican because I believe in free enterprise without excessive taxation.

I'm voting Republican because I believe I can do a better job of spending the money I earn than the government would.

I'm voting Republican because freedom of speech is fine. People have the right to be offended by it, and to try to change hearts and minds.

I'm voting Republican because when we pull out of Iraq, the bad guys will know that we will help stop their bullying, because we are good people.

I'm voting Republican because I believe that people who respect the creation that God gave us can be good stewards of it.

I'm voting Republican because I'm concerned about giving a girl the choice to kill their baby. (If it’s not a baby, she’s not pregnant, right?!) In 1868, the baby’s protection was enshrined when the 14th Amendment was ratified. It states, in part, “nor shall any State deprive any person of life… without due process of law.”

I'm voting Republican because I believe that business should be allowed to make profits for themselves. Hard work should be able to equal profit. If a man will not work, he should not eat.

I'm voting Republican because I believe judges were never meant to have policy-making authority. The courts have forgotten their function - which is to decide law and not to make policy. It is a threat to our democracy; It is a threat to our freedoms; and it is a threat to the stability of our nation when judges make decisions without any fear of the people.
