Neither. I am a Christian woman who believes in the truths of God’s Word. Some of those beliefs are:
- Sanctity of all human life from a biblical creationist viewpoint, all life is sacred, including the life of an unborn child. This is not about my personal choice but God’s decision to bring life. I guess you could say that I am a Conservative.
- Helping the poor and weak. I believe it is my responsibility to take care of those in need. That could make me a liberal except I don’t need the government to tell me where I need to go. Jesus walked among the needy and took care of them. He is my example.
- Sanctity of marriage. God started the family as one man and one woman. He called it good. Why do I want to mess with it?
- Lower taxes. I’ve never met a liberal who voluntarily gives more money to Uncle Sam. If I earn money I believe I have the right to spend it my way. You could say that I am pro-choice in how I spend my money!
- Strong military. Our Constitution requires us to provide for the common defense. Diplomacy is great but a bullet sometimes gets right to the heart of the matter! Support our troops!

While many of my peers don’t take this seriously, I do. How I vote will impact my children and those who even come after me. We are living in a crucial time in history and it’s important to know who will be able to lead our country in the right away. I will be talking about the candidates views (both Democrat and Republican) on everything from abortion, gay rights to national security and immigration. I’m by no means an expert, just a first time voter who takes the voting process seriously and I find the whole experience a lot more fun than an amusement park.
