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.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. I support a constitutionally limited government. Our natural rights are not debatable. I am pro-life, pro-gun, pro-religious liberty.
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.
I've been an activist for many years, trying to hold my elected officials accountable. I have also attended the March for Life in DC for many years. If you search newspaper and news articles, you'll find that I have coordinated Religious Freedom Rallies, IRS rallies, Defund Obamacare Town Halls, rallied and prayed at abortion clinics, rallied outside of Planned Parenthood again when the videos came to light. I've collected petitions against common core and fought to end the re-authroization of the failed Bush-era No Child Left Behind policy that gave rise to common core. I fought forced vaccinations here in NC. I'm running for Congress because I am tired of OUR voices being ignored in DC. I feel that Republican leadership is out of touch with the American people -- I want to help restore our nation and the Republican party. I have been working tirelessly as an activist to do just that.
