I am an American and a Catholic. Our country needs strong morals if we want to remain a great nation. The teachings of the Catholic Church can provide many of the morals needed for the United States of America. I encourage all Catholics to know their faith and become active in the political process in order to ensure that our country remains strong.

Our tax system is broke
An article published in the New York Times today, I.R.S. Watchdog Calls for Tax Code Overhaul, states that the tax code must redone.

Welcome the 112th Congress
I know it has been a while since positing anything here, but have I have had a busy Christmas and New Year's. I have moved back home and in the process of trying to find a job. I left my old job because I am ready to pursue other things in my life. At a time like this, some people might think it is crazy to leave a job; however, I did not want to continue at the pace of my former job. Additionally, I want to spend more time with those who I love.
