Tim Silfies grew up in Bethlehem, and has experience as a television business reporter and producer.  Working in the TV field taught him an appreciation of limited government, economic liberty, and personal liberty.  He says Americans have had to live with compromises to their freedom since the terrorist attacks of 2001.  Mr. Silfies says the U.S shouldn't be the world's police force, and he'd like to simplify the tax code and make it fair.
