OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

Congress should repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).

Strongly Agree

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.

Disagree

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.

Disagree

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

Agree

I support legislation such as the First Amendment Defense Act (FADA) that would prohibit discrimination against individuals, organizations and small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

Agree

The federal government should establish Common Core as a nationwide academic standard for high school graduation.

Strongly Disagree

I oppose the resettlement of Syrian refugees into the U.S. without proper vetting.

Strongly Agree

Current regulations on domestic oil exploration and drilling are more restrictive than are necessary.

Strongly Agree

It is the government’s responsibility to be sure everyone has health care and a livable income.

Disagree

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

Agree

More restrictive gun control laws are needed to protect public safety.

Strongly Disagree

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.

Agree

Governments should pay to develop wind and solar energy solutions until they are economically feasible.

GOD, Constitution,(if voters means citizenship, then it goes here) Congress, Supreme Court

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

If you exclude the term in regard to a miscarry, medical emergency, accidental, P.O.A., Patient Advocacy, & HIPPA documentation, to the protection of the 14th amendment right of citizenship, all others would be a violation of the 14th amendment of that citizenship.

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

Foresight to the greed, tyranny, and depraved capabilities of humankind.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe in a Creator that was so overwhelmed with His need to love that HE exploded a universe into existence through the authority of His Word. That love was so perfected and so eternal that at its very foundation secured its hope, allowed for eternal expansion of the universe, and established a plan of redemption before our first flaw. There are no "OOPS?" with GOD. His Word was made flesh and then fulfilled the all of humanity's debt to its eternal judgement. Paying that price in full and triumphing over Death & Hell, resurrected into newness of life, and giving that victory to all who believe it so. My belief is a choice, that choice eliminates my consequences.

Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?

Moderate

Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.

I believe in "Classical Liberalism". Liberty is not legislation. I believe most of my platform could be established on these two principles that have generally failed in the most of Christianity, "Love your neighbor, as yourself" and "The love of money is the root of all evil". I believe religion has become one of the top destructive forces of peace and community, along with party politics. Check my writings, my facebook, my website, my youtube videos. These have become my public record.

Additional comment from candidate:

I truly believe my commitment to ethical resolve makes me the best candidate for the 12th District. I also sincerely ask in a grassroots effort that many would stand and contribute through prayer, time, and finances the many needs and obstacles to accomplish this historical victory for this congressional race despite your location, by placing those in Congress (ekklesia) that believe it to be so. Silence would be compliance. I am not compliant. Reviewing the last 50 years of the 12th, job opportunities are weak, municipalities are struggling, communities are in decay, and education is failing. We can change that by how we vote!
