OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Disagree
Reproductive Authority rests exclusively with men & women in concert with their health care provider.
Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.
Disagree
OTC medications such as the "Morning After Pill" need to remain available. An in-person consultation with a MD is not necessary.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Up to 22 months of the pregnancy and later in the case of a medical emergency if the health of Mother or Fetus is threatened.
Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?
No, it is not the role of federal government to promote or limit abortions.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Elimination of Health Care thru the Workplace current model of the US wasteful, health care delivery model with its monthly costly subsidy to health insurance conglomerates. Day One the $1000 dollars per month of income diverted from workers stop.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Disagree
Instead of bailing out banks and allow them to prey upon our young human capital with high priced student loans that drive up the cost of education. Democrats & Republicans are responsible for favoring banks and universities over our countries young people.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
Yes
In healthy societies--the US is not a healthy society-- different organizations can offer ratings that help citizens decide how public monies should be allocated and spent.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means affairs of religious organizations such as Islamic, Christian, Jewish or Hindu ones should be held separate from state institutions such as courthouses. Countries such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia, the Vatican co-mingle the affairs of Church & State. The US is not designed in such a theocratic manner.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Neutral
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
For schools, there should be no changes to the current program of requiring childhood immunizations for school age children.
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
Introduction of Humaucracy Health, the transformative health care innovation US delivery system that takes health care out of the hands of governments, insurance companies, and other non-health entities. With the adoption of HuHealth by the United States our current health care is cured. Billions and billions of dollars will be saved. The health, wealth & well being of all US citizens will be improved.
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
The United States is currently being misled by the Republicans & Democrats. There is no policy initiated by the United States serves the interest of our citizens, our armed services or the world's for that matter. A complete re-assessment of the United States role in the world needs to be gone thru as a part of curing of our country currently afflicted by the Republican/Democrat civic disease.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Disagree
China's economy is currently in near collapse burdened under a debt mountain that makes the US' look small. Its population is falling faster than ever. China is no threat. China versus Japan, the US, Australia, Viet Nam & India is no contest. The struggle of Taiwan has gone on for over 75 years. The threat to the US from China is much lower than it has been in the past. The saber rattling over China is just another way for defense industry to vacuum money from the pockets of Americans
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes, both the leadership in the US and Israel are misaligned with their citizen's fundamental interest.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Because neither the Pentagon or Republicans & Democrats understand the purpose and mission of American's brave men & women of the armed services. The Pentagon serves the interest of defense industry and their own wealth and career advancement. They tarnish the sword of our nation. As I said earlier, the Pentagon, Republicans & Democrats and their defense industry paymasters do not serve the interest of our country or the valiant men & women of our armed services.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Neutral
The Democrats and Republicans have no interest in solving the immigration problems. They entrench themselves by keeping the problem going. There will be no solution to the immigration problem until the Republicans/Democrats stop benefitting from it continuing
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Legal immigration only should be allowed.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Agree
People should be allowed to have a variety of educational choices.
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Disagree
Eliminating the US Dept of Education will not solve our educational problems. States and communities have plenty of control as it is, some communities do education well, others not so well.
VALUES
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Disagree
Some marriages are ordained by God, other ones are not. How people marry is their business, not the business of some State or Federal Government.
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Choose not to answer
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Basic American values, Americans must be free to worship how they choose or not choose. The government should remain separate, silent and neutral on all such spiritual/religious expression: neither endorsing, promoting or prohibiting any ideology, theology or belief system. In Iran, Saudi Arabia and the Vatican..."God and Government" are one and the same. That's a Theocracy. For God's sake people, the United States of America is not a Theocracy. It's not a Communist country that imposes its beliefs on its citizens. It's a Republic whose citizens are free to have any faith, credo, religion or philosophy their convictions require.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Agree
We haven't required photos up till now for over hundreds of years. They are not necessary now.
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Disagree
EQUALITY
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Disagree
This is funny. All of this came out of French modernism of the mid 1950s. No one in America has any understanding any longer about what it means to be a man or woman or anywhere in between. CRT is inaccurate and shows a basic understanding of societies today
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
Disagree
Biological males should not be allowed to compete against biological females in sports competitions.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Disagree
Man made climate change is an opportunity. Climate Deniers and Climate Change Believers both miss the mark,
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Natural Gas, produced in the USA
ABOUT YOU
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Moderate
I represent Humaucracy is the game changer which innovates the political/economic debate. If US Voters vote in every election but stop voting for Democrats & Republicans for any office, then our countries problems can be addressed and fixed.
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To protect and promote the interests of its citizens. To be a fair arbiter in disputes. To undertake such national projects like infrastructure. Part of the job of government is to resist organizations such as Republicans & Democrats who only bring harm to the public they no longer represent
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
No
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
Disagree
The Supreme Court is fine as it is with the 9 seats it has always had.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Neutral
However communities decide to allocate their funds is the concern of that specific community. This is why we have our local elections, to decide such things like funding of public safety functions like police & fire departments
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Any restrictions are not the business of the federal government. It is up to the states and counties to decide important issues such as the right to bear arms. Local voters can decide how gun ownership should be in their own jurisdictions.
