OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

Strongly Agree
2. It is the government’s responsibility to be sure everyone has health care and a livable income.
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 The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) should be repealed by Congress.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.
Strongly Agree
10. Governments should pay to develop wind and solar energy solutions when these are not economically feasible.
Strongly Disagree
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.
Strongly Agree
13. People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
14. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
The desire of the individual to want to have power over others is why we have three separate divisions of government. Each of the three provides a limit on the others to prevent anarchy in our government.
15. Briefly list three (3) political or legislative issues of most concern to you, and explain why each is important to you.
1. TERM LIMITS ON CONGRESS. We do not need Career Politicians. We need Citizen Representatives. We have 47 Congressmen who have already served over 40 years each. 2. A BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT. The budget cannot be balanced in one year. The amendment must allow a period of time to reach the balanced and require a portioned decrease each year. 3. NO MORE EARMARKS. A bill to require that any appropriation applied to any bill must relate to the purpose of the bill. Every appropriation must stand on its own feet and require the entire Congress pass it.
16. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?
An Abortion should only be allowed to save the life of the Mother. This should be a decision of the patient, the family and the doctor. No government or hospital official should be involved in the decision.
17. 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.
1. God 2. Constitution 3. Voters 4. Supreme Court 5. Congress
18. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am the son of a Pentecostal preacher married to the daughter of a Pentecostal preacher. I was saved at a young age and have been involved with worship and service to others my entire life. I am a past president of a chapter of the FGBMFI. I spoke at a number of chapters around the south. I served as a Chaplain's Assistant at Holman Prison in Atmore, Alabama, for two years. I have a published Christian Fiction Book. I wrote a column for the local newspaper for ten years and many of my columns related to my relationship to Christ.
