What are you're basic beliefs on these questions? (I include some of my views)
1. Personal Freedom?

- I believe the War on drugs has to end, we should make our own decisions on our lives as long as we do not hurt others.
- We should not be forced to pay income tax that goes only to pay INTEREST on a national debt for the enrichment of the fed board members.

2. Money (are you happy with your money and what would you do to change it?)

- I believe we should have money that doesn't lost value, when you save money the inflation eats you're retirement savings away.
- DO you think the government has a right to be able to monetize debt and print money at will to cover the cost of its spending that its not willing to tax you on. This ruins you're purchasing power and it wipes out the middle class.

3. Protest and Free speech.

- This disturbs me the most, do you think there should be free speech zones?
- Should you be removed if you ask a controversial question to a politician? This is insane!

4. Media Responsibility (Should media get away with lying to you or attempting to form you're opinion)

- I think we should be able to sue Fox Noise and other media outlets who label themselves as new and not opinion when all they offer is opinion.

1. Don't 3 and 4 contradict a little?
If you have freedom of speech, can you have the government decide what is or is not "news"?

2. Well the Government IS deciding what is news.
Its really awful and Dan Rather knows it for sure.
