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

The U.S. military should wait for militant Islamic groups to directly threaten our national security on our shores, rather than eradicate them now wherever they may be worldwide.

The United States must maintain a nuclear arsenal that is safe, reliable, modern and numerically superior to those of potential adversaries.

Strongly Disagree
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
More restrictive gun control laws are needed to protect public safety.

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

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I believe abortion can be an option if the mother's life is in danger.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
The Founders were well aware of man's desire for ever-increasing power, and the desire to rule over his fellow man. This recognition caused them to limit power to any man/group of men in the Constitution.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a committed Christian. My faith is the foundation of my moral values, such as our Founding Fathers. I believe in the Bible as the guide for my faith and moral values.
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.

Additional comment from candidate:
#3-I am a strong supporter of having our border secure using the most advanced technology possible. As a sovereign nation, this must be a top priority. #4-left blank because There are friendly nations who are Muslim, but their military are Islamic militants. The question needs to be more specific. If the question is addressing radical Islamic extremist groups, then by all means, we must take preventive, firm, and bold action. #19 U.S. must re-establish trust and loyalty with all her friends and allies around the world. #21 With the new measures and proposals, I think we need to have an educated responsible young generation who will make independent and responsible decisions.
