Why did you decide to come today? I totally agree with all the things the Tea Party people are fighting against. They're trying to change what the president is doing because it's bad for our country.

Thoughts about the U.S. tax system: The government is trying to get more control of the economy and more control of our people. Basically, he's trying to make America socialist in the style of the Europeans.

What do like best about Pleasanton? People are friendly. There are a lot of different kinds of people here. It's a safe community.

What would you change about it if you could? Nothing
