Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
This is NOT a political issue. I support the separation of church and state as did our founding fathers. You can't have it both ways and we can't argue about it for another 50 years. This is a moral issue for the man and woman involved to decide. Settled by Roe v. Wade in 1973. Abortion is available on demand in America because the people have spoken.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." - Lord Acton, 1887
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe that everyone on earth is entitled to a personal and private relationship with God in whatever form that takes for them to grow closer. We’re not folks. We are Americans with a modern ‘America first’ view of the world. Career politicians and anti-American globalization policies have failed. Today’s issues are complex, but solutions are easy when seen through a red, white and blue lens. We must put America first! Cast your vote with the majority of common sense Americans who believe our values make us great. We will be heard out of the darkness and together we’ll step back into the light FREE to LEAD and WIN AGAIN.
Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?
Somewhat Conservative
