OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Agree

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.

Strongly Agree

I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Jeopardy of mother's life.


ECONOMY

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.

Strongly Disagree

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?

Needs assessment.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

Education, Labor, Energy, Agriculture, HHS, Repatriate overseas FBI agents, U.N., PBS, NPR. That's a start.

Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?

Never


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

Agree

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Strongly Agree

I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.

Yes

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

There should be no official government religion, e.g., The Church of England. It doesn't preclude prayer or presence of religious materials from being inside government property or activities.


HEALTHCARE

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.

Disagree

I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.

Strongly Disagree

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

Eliminate ALL central government involvement and make it a state responsibility. Encourage the development of catastrophic illness/hospitalization policies Make routine office visits a patient responsibility. I have learned personally that cash for routine visits and standard lab work is infinitely less expensive than insurance rates. There are various ways to receive and pay for health care, insurance, coops, private pay and others.It's everyones responsibility to navigate the options. The government is not your daddy.


NATIONAL SECURITY

The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.

Strongly Agree

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?

Institute a Qua'ran/Islam education program with curriculum developed by scholars the likes of Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch and Dr David Woods, Acts 17 Apologetics. It should be prominent in all levels of government schools, military and all levels of law enforcement. Most muslims and Americans are ignorant of the Qua'ran's teachings and Islam. Imams and Islamists are simply propagandists and not suitable for instruction. There are moderate muslims but no moderate Islamists or Qua'ran. Islam dies in sunlight.


IMMIGRATION

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.

Strongly Agree

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be abolished.

Strongly Disagree

State and federal funds should be denied to any public or private entity, including but not limited to sanctuary cities, that are not in compliance with immigration laws.

Strongly Agree

Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.

Strongly Agree

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Now and for the foreseeable future, nobody.


EDUCATION

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Agree

I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Bitter clinger


ABOUT YOU

When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and immigration, which of the following best describes you overall?

Conservative

Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.

Did not answer

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

No

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?

I will donate $10,000 of my salary monthly to charity. Elected official's salaries are obscene. We must shrink central government and eliminate all pensions and benefits for former/retired and out of office elected and appointed officials.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.

Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

Not many. The DOJ should be investigating already severe restrictions in some jurisdictions. Each household should be encouraged to participate in gun safety programs and have at least one firearm in the home.


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state.

Strongly Disagree

I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.

Agree

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Strongly Disagree

In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?

This is not my area of interest. I'm more oriented toward repealing laws, regulations and abolishing cabinet level departments. Also reforming courts. I believe it's time to disentangle government, at least at the federal level, from the average American's everyday life.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

My concern is the influence of postmodernism and critical race theory's effects on the culture. Racism exists but it is not "systemic" or wide spread. America is not a racist country as suggested by critical race theorists, e.g., Robyn d'Angelo, Kimberle' Crenshaw. When racism surfaces it should be dealt with immediately and severely.
