The Principles I Follow:

1.  I will vote against any bill that is not explictly allowed by the United States Constitution and by the New Hampshire Constitution. 

2.  Every paycheck belongs first to the person who worked earn it, not to the public budget.  Income taxes, sales taxes, and any other means of getting between hard-working people and their money are for Californians and the Mafia.

3.  Each adult owns their own body, and can dictate what medical procedures, foods, and drugs go into it.  The State has no business in our kitchens, nor should it decide what sort of medical procedures we are or are not "allowed" to get. 

4.  We have a responsibility to cut the State Budget now, so that critical functions of the State can be funded in the future.  The budget must be sustainable.  States like California, Illinois and New York are having to choose BETWEEN police, teachers and roads, because they spent when they should be saving.  We don't need to balance the budget, we need to CUT it, so that we can still afford the truly important things.

5.  People do not have rights because the State allows it; they have rights because they are people, and it is the people who created the State.  Constitutions are put in place to restrict what governments can do, so that the people can retain their rights.
