I stand for Truth, Justice, and the American Way, which is resolution of many contentious issues via concensus building through open public debate in a spirit of good will, acknowledging that the truth is multi-faceted and can be viewed from many perspectives. We need adequate checks and balances to ensure that our elected officials strive to live up to the title of "Honorable" which we confer upon them, with magnanimous public service rather than corrupt self service.
