Strongly Disagree
3. The United States must maintain a nuclear arsenal that is safe, reliable, modern and numerically superior to those of potential adversaries.
Strongly Agree
4. Government should enforce laws designed to protect the border and to prevent illegal entry of persons into the country.
Strongly Agree
5. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) should be repealed by Congress.
Strongly Agree
6. Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
7. Marriage is a union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Strongly Agree
8. Efforts to bring Islamic law (shariah) to America do not pose a threat to our country and its Constitution.
Strongly Disagree
9. Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.

11. More restrictive gun control laws are needed now to protect public safety.
Strongly Disagree
12. The founders established pure democracy in the Constitution because they believed that it is the best form of government to ensure the safety and equitable treatment of all citizens.
No Answer
13. People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
14. The federal government should establish nationwide standards (such as Common Core) for high-school graduation.
Strongly Agree
15. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
Mankind will tend to centralized power, which is not best for the governed.
16. Briefly list three (3) political or legislative issues of most concern to you, and explain why each is important to you.
1. Eliminate the federal deficit and reduce the national debt. It is unconscionable that we continue to lay horrendous debt on our children and grandchildren. I am the Lansing leader in transparency in government, and will bring the fight for transparency to DC and expose wasteful spending, including corporate welfare. 2. Eliminate Obamacare. The federal government should not have control our healthcare and insurance. I will fight to return healthcare and most of Washington’s power to state and local control. We only need to see how the federal government treats our veterans at VA Hospitals to know that the federal government should not control our healthcare. 3. Secure the border, enforce our immigration laws and end our attractive draw for illegal entry by ending benefits for those here illegally. States should be allowed to enforce immigration law when the federal government fails to exercise their responsibility.
17. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?
Life of the mother only.
18. Based on the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, please arrange the following entities, starting with the highest source of authority, and continue the list in descending order of authority, skipping any that do not apply: Academia, Congress, Constitution, God, Industry, Media, Professional Sports, Supreme Court, Voters.
God, Constitution
19. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian.
