==Reduce the influence of un-elected authorities and government on our lives.==
* I would cut back on the unconstitutional and wasteful actions of government. Government is spending too much of our money in ways that are not prudent and in ways that make the rich richer and poor poorer.
* The so-called National ID has little to do with tracking terrorists and everything to do with turning we the people into numbered cattle to be tracked and harassed. I will insist that all local and state efforts are made to end any National ID.
:To implement the National ID, PA faces an extensive, time-consuming programming work.
* I will help lead the charge so as to encourage people to NOT turn in their state driver's license for a national ID. 
* The PA state house and PA state senate should immediately draft and pass legislation exactly as NH has done, so as to stop the National ID.

* I want to cooperate, most of all, with our own citizens. However, the wide spectrum of others in the global world needs to be addressed.
Cooperation with other nations is essential in the search for solutions to world problems. The development of international understandings and international history is imperative in the promotion of world peace.
* World travel helps people make better decisions as they have better perspectives.
