OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
Strongly Agree
I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Only when the procedure would save the life of the mother. I believe a woman who is raped should be allowed to abort the pregnancy. It then only if done immediately. Such as the morning after bill.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Strongly Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Social security should be moved to a private trust, out of the hands of politicians who constantly steal to funds for other purposes. The social security taxes should go directly to and be controlled by the private trust.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
I like Rand Paul's penny plan.
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
I think the U.S student has been sold a bill of goods with an inadequate education. The government should do a one time payoff off all student loans. After that, the government should get out of the student loan business. Our college and university system should be overhauled to provide an education that teaches students an appropriate course study that guarntee's a student can find a job at graduation. We should immediately get back to vocational training.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.
Strongly Agree
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.
Yes
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The government will not create a religious state. But the constitution prohibits the government from restricting the free exercise of a religion.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Strongly Disagree
I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Health Care insurance should be left to the free market and a person should be allowed to purchase affordable insurance from anywhere within the U.S, not limited to state borders.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
A ten year moratorium on all immigration should be imposed. We should return all the people that have been brought into this country since 2008 to their country of origin. Unless they have become U.S citizens. Law enforcement should be allowed to infiltrate regilious masks if there is probable cause to believe they are working to support islamic terrorism.
IMMIGRATION
I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.
Strongly Agree
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
State and federal funds should be denied to any public or private entity, including but not limited to sanctuary cities, that are not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Nobody for the next ten years. After that only persons who show the ability to contribute to the overall well being of the U.S.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a christian who believe in our lord Jesus Christ. And believe we will be saved by grace alone.
ABOUT YOU
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and immigration, which of the following best describes you overall?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
My voting record and bills I sponsored or cosponsored in the Kentucky House of Representatives.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
No
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
Faith, Family and Country: I believe we as American’s should be; 1. Free to worship JESUS CHRIST without persecution. 2. Free to protect the life of the unborn and express your view that abortion is morally wrong. FAMILY: 1. Free to educate your children without government indoctrination. 2. Free to protect your family from all threats without fear of being imprisoned for possessing a firearm. 3. Free to enjoy the fruits of your labor without being taxed to death. 4. Free to obtain affordable health care. Country: 1. Free to choose your representatives without them being hand picked by party elites. 2. Free to express your opinion without fear of reprisal or censorship. 3. Free to be treated fairly and prosper in peace and safety. 4. Free to have a news media that does not promote untruths through propaganda.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
"The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed" means what it says and says what it means. The right of everyone to carry a firearm and protect their families will decrease crime and criminals think twice about harming law abiding citizens.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state.
Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Disagree
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?
Term limits for Congressman and Senator of no more that twelve years combined. And a one term limit for any leadership position within congress. Make Congress abide by all laws of the U.S and make the failure to abide by the oath of office grounds for removal or recall. Repeal the Federal Income tax law that allows direct taxation of U.S citizens. Remove the U.S from the U.N. The U.N has, since their inception, plotted to undermine the sovereignty of the U.S.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
The constant promoting of racism is destroying the U. S. The government needs to get out of the business of reverse racism. Every U.S citizen should have the same rights, no race should be denied their constitutional rights but no other race should be denied their constitutional rights in favor of some other race.
