The reason I like Helen is her strong position and backing of Private Property Rights issues. I could care less what her religious position is...in fact I haven't a clue what her positions are on a most social issues. But where I have property and will eventually live, land issues are tremendously important.

People who do not live in rural communities have no idea how much control the federal government has over daily life in rural western US. Most people only have contact with the federal government on April 15, when money is involuntarily confiscated from them. Everything I do in the area I live in involves some branch of the feds, from fishing, hunting, driving on mountain roads, cutting firewood, camping, building a fire, making a living by grazing cattle on federally-controlled range, etc etc. So land and private property issues are important to me over many other things that bother other people.

Geez, I really gotta go now.
