People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States.

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Strongly Agree

Free enterprise and the right to private property turn mankind's natural self-interest into the most productive economic system there is.

Strongly Agree

There should be a strict constitutional spending limit for state and local governments that would tie the rate of spending to the rate of population growth plus the rate of inflation.

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.

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.

Free-market competition for education dollars, rather than a government monopoly, would create a better education for all students.

Business owners should be required by law to bake cakes, provide flower arrangements, etc., for same-sex weddings, even when these activities would infringe on their sincerely-held religious beliefs.

Our state should participate in the nationwide Common Core standards for high-school graduation.

Strongly Disagree

Physician-assisted suicide should be legal.

Strongly Disagree

The more people live by Judeo-Christian values, the less government is needed.

Strongly Agree

Islamic law (Sharia) does not pose a threat to the United States and its Constitution.

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

God, Voters, Constitution, Supreme Court, Congress

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

The only circumstances in which abortion should be allowed, would be to protect the life of the mother.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I ascribe to biblical Christianity, which, in context, would follow the traditional, Judeo-Christian values upon which our Nation and Commonwealth were founded. I value the teachings of Scripture and the sanctity of life, marriage and the family.

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.

As to what is publicly available, I served with Biblical Family Ministries traveling the country to preach on Marriage, Family and child-training. I have ministered at Lebanon Christian Academy. I organized the "Tea Party Welcome" for Senator Arlen Specter in 2009 to encourage his vote against the unconstitutional "Obamacare", the Affordable Healthcare Act.
