QUESTIONNAIRE
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
Congress should repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).
Strongly Agree
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
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
The U.S. military should wait for militant Islamic groups to directly threaten our national security on our shores, rather than eradicate them now wherever they may be worldwide.
Strongly Disagree
The United States must maintain a nuclear arsenal that is safe, reliable, modern and numerically superior to those of potential adversaries.
Strongly Agree
I support legislation such as the First Amendment Defense Act (FADA) that would prohibit discrimination against individuals, organizations and small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.
Strongly Agree
The federal government should establish Common Core as a nationwide academic standard for high school graduation.
Strongly Disagree
I oppose the resettlement of Syrian refugees into the U.S. without proper vetting.
Strongly Agree
Current regulations on domestic oil exploration and drilling are more restrictive than are necessary.
Strongly Agree
It is the government’s responsibility to be sure everyone has health care and a livable income.
Strongly Disagree
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
More restrictive gun control laws are needed to protect public safety.
Strongly Disagree
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 Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property turn mankind's natural self-interest into the most productive economic system there is.
Strongly Agree
Governments should pay to develop wind and solar energy solutions until they are economically feasible.
Strongly Disagree
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States.
Strongly Agree
Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with public funds.
Strongly Agree
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
The United States should help defend Israel from attack by its enemies.
Strongly Agree
Planned Parenthood should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments.
Strongly Agree
Marijuana should be legalized and regulated like tobacco and alcohol.

God, Constitution, Voters, Congress, Supreme Court
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Abortion is a medical procedure. It should be prescribed for a medical condition. It should not be used for birth control. It is not a form of contraception by the very meaning of the word contraception.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Mistrust of total power placed in the hands of one entity. We were breaking the bonds of a king and were not going to put 545 kings and queens (President, 535 Congress members, and 9 Supreme Court justices)in his place.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Roman Catholic. I believe that we are here to serve our fellow man and to try to be the best person we can spiritually be. We're going to fail at times because we are human with all our weaknesses and frailties. However, we must always try to learn from our mistakes and to recommit to perfection as our ultimate goal while knowing that we will never achieve it. We have to trust in God and maintain his trust in us.
Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?
Very Conservative
Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.
Support conservative causes. Believe in balanced budget, checks and balances as well as separation of power in the federal government per the constitution, and that what sets us apart as a nation is our faith as described long ago by Alexis de Tocqueville. Our floundering at this point in our history is due to losing contact to that foundation. Regarding question 13, the founders established a democratic republic, not a pure democracy. That is why I disagreed. A democratic republic IS the best form of government

Additional comment from candidate:
-One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all... -We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. -"that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom. . . and that government of the people. . .by the people. . .for the people. . . shall not perish from the earth." -Non sibi sed patriae (Latin for "not for self, but country") These and the constitution are what would guide me in public service to the citizens of Michigan's 13th Congressional District. I would be bound to the people of the district, to the state, and to the country in carrying out the duties of your representative in the people's house, the House of Representatives in the US Congress. We must again become the shining city on the hill for all the world to see, a beacon of hope and inspiration.
