(devanbarbour.com)
- "Obamacare was a disaster and the U.S. healthcare system is still in desperate need of repair.

By all means, I want to ensure that the American Dream remains possible for those who desire a better life and immigrate to the U.S. legally.

Iâm all for working with either party to fix this issue and believe we have a moral obligation to work together to find a solution. But first, we must secure the border and stop ignoring the crisis." (devanbarbour.com)

Whether it is suppressing posts or banning accounts, Big Tech elites continue to pose a fundamental threat to the values of liberty and free speech that this country was founded upon. Congress must enact common-sense policies to ensure that Liberal companies canât suppress contrary opinions." (devanbarbour.com)
