Priority Issues:

I am a fiscal conservative (that's what it takes for my small business to survive)
I am a social conservative (ardently pro-life and pro-traditional marriage)
I am an unqualified supporter of the Second Amendment (and have taken the votes to prove it)
I believe in the education of our children, not the indoctrination of our children.
I believe in freedom of speech (my business has been boycotted because of that belief)
I believe in freedom of religion and the right to practice the same
I believe in the free press (no bureaucrats in newsrooms....not in my radio stations!)
I believe in freedom from government snooping
I believe that the federal government is out of control
I believe in timber harvesting and mining as an major part of the rural Oregon economy.
