<b>Your Beliefs</b>

At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable.

This disclosure is not a license for you to inject your beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that your beliefs are on the record will cause you to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know.<br><br><b>Politics: </b><strong>How would you describe your political beliefs</strong>

Independent. I believe in researching all the candidates and deciding which one is the best. Of course, I&#39;m not sure what my political beliefs are until I&#39;m accused of something.<strong> </strong><br><br><b>Religion</b>: <strong>How religious would you consider yourself? </strong>

I like to think I&#39;m open-minded and respectful to all religions. After all, as Bob Hope once said, &#34;Who wants to blow the hereafter on a technicality?&#34;<br><b><br>Local Hot-Button Issues</b>: <strong>What do you think are the most important issues facing the community?</strong>

Just about every issue is  important to a diverse community.

But we do have the anti-discrimination law that was passed by Haverford Township and residents in the township and neighboring townships are against billboards.
