I Am Not a Republican or a Democrat — I Am an American

Politics today often feels like a battleground—lines drawn, sides chosen, voices raised. But I’ve never felt compelled to plant my flag in either camp. I am not a Republican. I am not a Democrat. I am an **American**.

I consider myself a moderate. Over the years, I’ve voted for candidates from both major parties—not out of loyalty to a label, but based on who I believed was the best person for the job. I don’t engage in political debates, not because I lack conviction, but because I believe meaningful change comes from thoughtful action, not shouting matches or acting like children.

I’ve never publicly endorsed a candidate. That’s not to say I never will, but I hold firm to the belief that you will never agree 100% with any politician—or any person—unless that person is yourself. Expecting total alignment is unrealistic. What matters more to me is **integrity, leadership**, and a commitment to the principles that built this nation.

I stand fully in support of the **Constitution** and the foundational values upon which the United States was built. Those principles—freedom, justice, individual responsibility—are not relics of the past. They are living truths that continue to guide us, if we let them.

History is a powerful teacher. It shows us what works, and more importantly, what doesn’t. Failed systems, fractured societies, and broken promises fill the pages of history books. We would be wise to learn from them, not repeat or follow them.

Above all, I stand for **unity**. I stand for the men and women who serve in our military, for our veterans, and for the idea that we are stronger together than divided. I reject the notion that we must choose sides to have a voice. My voice is rooted in conviction, not partisanship.

So if you’re looking for a label, you won’t find one here. What you will find is a commitment to my flag, the soil I fought for, my country, and to the belief that being American means standing for something deeper than red or blue.

This, is my political stance.
