I do NOT support my tax dollars being spent on the NSA domestic spies or the wars. There is absolutely NO reason for us to spend nearly half of every dollar spent on war worldwide. No reason.

I do NOT support being taxed as heavily as I am when GE, Wells Fargo, Paccar, Mattel and about 25 other Fortune 500 corporations aren't paying ANY US income tax.

And I most definitely DO NOT support programs that help Americans being cut with sequester because Congress can't do its BASIC job.

I do support Medicare for all Americans, free academic or vocational education in public colleges and universities, massive upgrades to our infrastructure - things that would actually make life BETTER for us instead of building more death drones at $2 million each.

And, lastly, I support all of our freedom FROM religion - in our health care policies, in our schools - keep it OUT! My grandchildren don't need to be force fed the young earth creationist pabulum. At all.

So these are my own 'religious' convictions. Should I sue?
