My Political Journey & The Case for Donald Trump, Part 1
I am afraid a Harris term would seal the sexual apocalypse as the law of the land and diminish the tremendous effort we have put into the pro-life cause in the last 50 years.
In the early 2000, I fell in love with the message of a Texas Congressman named Ron Paul.

The Constitution Party offered many grandiose ideas about governing. But that pursuit of right governance and idealism led to many internal fractures.
