I'm a Nature lover and a strong advocate for civil rights. My current top political issues focus on the U.S. Constitution, including supporting church-state separation, freedom of speech, and the natural right to self defense.

"The number, the industry, and the morality of the priesthood, and the devotion of the people, have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the church from the State." --James Madison, father of the U.S. Constitution, 1819.
