Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Only in the event of the mothers life being in danger. This does not include the liberals definition - according to liberals, if the mother sneezes, her life is in danger. Only in true life danger of the mother. I do not agree that in the event of rape or incest it should be acceptable. That still sentences the baby to death for a crime they did not commit. However, IF, IF it was presented that abortion would be illegal except for the mothers life and rape or incest, I would take that in a heartbeat.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
If and when we decide to send our military, we should support them fully and let them do the job completely, then bring them home. We should work with other nations that are our allies. We are not the worlds police and should not act like it. We should defend our borders and our people.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Freedom. Plain and simple. FREEDOM. It is in our nature to be free. Government is a necessary evil but it is still evil. Its sole purpose is to take liberty away from anyone. That is why our Founders limited our Government. We need to get back to limiting our Government.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian. This country was founded on Judaeo Christian beliefs. That does not mean I want a Theocracy. We all have the right to worship or not worship. Our Government should protect our rights to worship and protect those who choose not to. Separation of Church and State is not in the Constitution. It was written to define the State keeps out of the Church but not the Church out of the State.
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.
I have no publicly available information except for my life. I am not a politician, let alone a career politician so I have to record there. I am working class. I live my life according to those previous answers.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Free market. Removing the Government and the bureaucracy that has led to the destruction of our healthcare system. If you want to know what Government healthcare looks like - look at the VA. How are they doing?? Healthcare is always going to be expensive. Competition helps with that but it will never be cheap. The cost of the education for the industry, the cost for the equipment, the facilities and the cost for the research. It is not our Governments job to force anyone to have insurance nor is it the Governments job to make sure you live to be 120.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Lowering taxes. Making it more profitable for companies to stay and produce here. Remove Government regulations. Let the free market and capitalism work. NOT crony capitalism where the Government picks and chooses winners and losers.
What changes should be made to the tax code?
Scrap the tax code completely. We should have a flat tax. Flat tax for both individuals and corporations. It should be - How much did you make, this is the tax rate, this is your tax. DONE. IF we did this, we could get rid of 90% of the IRS and they (and the Government) wouldnt hold any more power or threats over us. Get rid of all deductions- once again removing more Government.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Removing Government. Free market and capitalism. I may sound like a broken record but this system works. We have proven it. The reason we are in the mess we are, is because Government and Politicians have altered our system.
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Privatize. First, I do not believe SS is Constitutional BUT they have gotten us into this mess and we have paid into the system for so long, that is our money and our Government owes us ( for those of us who have paid into it). This is going to be a difficult and hard road. We will have to start taking those at a certain age and putting their SS deductions into private accounts. ( those that usually produce 3 times the earning!!) We will keep paying those who are on SS and those who are coming onto SS until we eventually just have those who have investing into the private market and SS will be gone.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have no College degree. I am currently enrolled in an online degree program. I have been to a couple colleges to get trades. I have a license in Real Estate and Life Insurance. I have a professional drivers license. I have been licensed and certified in Law Enforcement. I am a working class, "We the People' candidate. I am NOT a career politician. THAT is what makes me qualified.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
1. The marriage issue. I believe that God gave us the institution we call marriage. I believe it is between one man and one woman. I DO NOT believe the Government should be involved in marriage PERIOD. The Supreme Court should have refused to take any argument up since the Government has not authority to make any decision on marriage. 2. I am a HUGE believer in the Second Amendment. The Government is not taking my rights/guns away from me due to someone else committing a crime with a gun. "Assault Guns" is a false flag. 3. I believe in our military and taking care of our Veterans. The VA needs to be fixed and I have an idea how to - it involves less Government!! 4. There are 3 areas that we have to fix if we are to ever get back to the Constitution. 1. Remove Liberal/Progressive Judges. 2. Get rid of the Dept of Education at the Federal Level. 3. Voting - voter ID and electoral college TerryRobertsonforCongress.com Remember, LESS Government equals MORE Freedom.
