Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
For me the answer is NO. However, in the cases of incest. In cases of rape or to the detriment of the mother, in which case that final decision should fall to the mother.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
Enforce the existing laws, Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 enacted June 27, 1952, Public Law 82-414 Statutes at Large 66 Stat.163, codification titles amended 8u.s.c. Aliens and Nationality u.s.c. Section created 8u.s.c. Chapter 12, (which was passed by a Democrat controlled House, Senate and President), which forbids the allowance of Islam in the United States of America due to it's standing and public goal of replacing our Constitution, Bill of Rights and Rule of Law.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
No one person should have all the power, therefore the three branches of our Government: Legislative, Judicial and Executive.

Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
www.romero4oregon.com, Oregon Voter Guide, my entire life.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
#1 Pharmaceuticals MUST be brought back into check in this country. The public is being fleeced. #2 Let the free-market operate. Healthcare was mandated as non-profit until the 1972 bill that Nixon passed. Before 1973 it was illegal in the US to profit off of health care. The Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973 passed by Nixon changed everything. Repeal the 1973 Act.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
No taxpayer monies should be used, however tax cuts to business will help drive the economy, like Reagan did and like Trump is doing. Eliminate Free-Trade Agreements which fundamentally undermine our world of work and business.
What changes should be made to the tax code?
#1 Social Security and Veterans income should not be taxable, State or Federal. #2 Keep Corporate/Business Tax rates competitive with the world so we don't lose jobs/manufacturing as in the past.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Kill Free Trade Agreements, Tariffs on all imported goods and then jobs return as they are right now. Businesses are basically forced to return due to the tax incentive's which also increase income for our citizens.
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
With Surplus Bloc that Trumps tax plan has created should refund the $4 trillion that Congress owes to the fund in about 2-3 years. Eliminate SSD, Welfare and Medicaid benefits to all Illegal Immigrants.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I am an American Citizen, a single father of 5 since 2002, a 10 year Navy Veteran, disabled. I have worked my entire life and put myself through college. BS in Workforce Education and Development, 75% of a double major in Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics. The ability to relate to a significant part of the population throughout CD2. I'm smart, quick on my feet, and am ready to fight for those who choose not to step up. I'm here to work for the people. It's called SERVICE. Actual requirements: 25 years of age, minimum 7 years US Citizen, Resident of State at the time of election.

romero4oregoncd2@gmail.com 337-241-4965 Campaign Mgr. Larry 541-233-6877 Exec. Asst. 541-233-681
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I know that you can't represent people that you can't relate to. I have been through many of the experiences that the people of CD2 have. I know their pain as I've been through it. Finding jobs to support my family, finding an affordable and clean place to live, getting timely healthcare, etc. I'm sick and tired of our representatives NOT representing us and our collective issues. Where are our jobs? Where is our Timber Industry? What is being done? Who are our representatives actually working for? I'm ready to fight and turn this around for CD 2 and all of Oregon. Make Oregon Great Again!!!
