OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

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 The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) should be repealed by Congress.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
8. Efforts to bring Islamic law (shariah) to America do not pose a threat to our country and its Constitution.

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.
Disagree
14. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
God, and the desire for freedom. As stated in Galatians 5:1, 'It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.' Freedom is a blessing from God, and as President George Washington claimed, "Religion and morality are the essential pillars of civil society. Without religion, morality cannot be maintained."
15. Briefly list three (3) political or legislative issues of most concern to you, and explain why each is important to you.
1. Obamacare, because it is unconstitutional and by our laws, it cannot legally be forced on to the citizens. 2. EPA Regulations, because the individual states have more knowledge of their environment and have more common sense in how to protect it. The EPA should be abolished. 3. This administration's relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood. This should be closely monitored, as the goal of Islam is to have Sharia law in place throughout the world.
16. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?
No. I believe all conceived babies should have the right to live. And I believe life begins at conception.
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.
God, Constitution, Voters, Congress, Supreme Court
18. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in God, He is the creator of all things, and that Jesus Christ, the Son of God is our Lord and Savior. I do not force this on to anyone, it is an individual choice, but I will stand firm in faith when sharing Christianity, and try not to compromise my faith in doing a little evil to gain a little good.
