Hello all. New here.

Given the reason this site exists and it's Terms of Service this may not make me the most popular person here but, I have a motto:

Country before party; democracy above all.


As a voter, I have had 3 major concerns going back to when I first started paying attention to politics:

1. Campaign finance reform.

2. Lobbying reform.

3. General reform. i.e. Audits and restructuring of departments.

For me, government size isn't so much an issue. I think it's more important to ask, how often should we shake things up?


So that is a bit about me and my beliefs.

p.s. Thanks for the heart somebody.
