I'm a 30 year old Texan, though I was born in Kansas but have been here 29 years. I graduated from Texas St in 2007 and work as an environmental consultant in the energy, oil and gas, petrochemical industry.

I am a moderate and never vote straight ticket. I try to not vote just because it's good for me but because it's for the greater good. I'm probably more liberal with social issues. Don't care if you are gay, black, immigrant, or tea party. As long as you live by the golden rule you are good with me.

I'm getting tired of seeing the divide the Internet allows politics to create. Too much is yes or no, black or white, or thinking that the exception is the rule (ex: people on food stamps eat crab legs so no more food stamps). i have friends all over the spectrum of beliefs and at the end of the day we are friends. I love that people have their own beliefs that's what makes this country great. Saying inside should move out or whatever is just plain stupid. Embrace diversity but not discrimination.
