QUESTIONNAIRE

OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

Congress should repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).

Agree

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

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.

Agree

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.

Strongly Disagree

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

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.

Neutral

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.

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

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Abortion should be allowed in the cases of rape, incest or the life of the mother.

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

The founders wanted to protect states and individuals against the potential tyrannical powers of a Federal Government. They supported this by instituting checks and balances within the political structure, whereby one entity of the government was checked by the other. This helped to prevent one branch from overreaching resulting in an economic, military and social takeover of the country.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe that we are one nation under GOD, with liberty and justice for all. America is a Judeo-Christian country. Our first and most important priority is our belief in the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. The future success of America was and is based on this principle. At the same time I do understand that our founders made it possible that our country also respected the rights of those who do not share these beliefs.

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

Conservative

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

This is my first opportunity to participate in Politics as a candidate but my voting record tries to lean towards conservative views.

Additional comment from candidate:

I am an immigrant from Jamaica. I arrived on the shores of America at the age of 15. I have 3 children. Two boys and one girl. My daughter unfortunately died at the age of 15 due to complications arising from cerebral palsy. I have served my country and church in Africa where I taught abstinence in schools. Africa, unfortunately was suffering from a devastating AIDS epidemic and I was trying to do my best in reducing the casualty rate through education. My life in America has always been one of service to her. My goal right now is to serve her in the highest role yet as the Senator of Florida. I would like to bring this country back to its roots as a Christian country, respecting the rights of all its inhabitants. My other goal is to help end the divisive nature of our country. Whether we are Republicans or Democrats, we are first Americans and we must unite as a country if we are to succeed. We must as a nation find common ground.
