Government's purpose is to secure God-given rights
I am committed to an American understanding of law and government - that rights come from God and that it is the purpose of government to secure and defend them.
I will fight to defend America against enemies domestic and foreign and return to a Republic of self-governing states whose laws are rooted in biblical principles.
