OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Citizens should not be required to fund institutions and procedures they are religiously and morally opposed to, the media has said falsely that most Americans support Abortion, if that is right then there should be plenty of private contributions to support it without denying the rights of those who don't
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
People who are very ill and mentally distressed have lost ability to reason and assess their true condition, only God can take a life and will do so at the time of his choosing not ours
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Only in cases of rape , incest, and health conditions threatening the life of the Mother
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Agree
But not by taxing the rich and giving to the poor but by creating equal economic opportunites and subsides in major expenses like housing , medical , and transportation
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
Every household in America needs a budget , our government is no exception, the Balanced Budget Amendment has been knocking around the halls of Congress for decades with many politicians saying they will support it in their campaigns, but the truth is they are all like college kids sent off to school and refusing to cut up daddy's credit card, they don't know how to live without it
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
The tax code may need a little tweeking but the collection process is the problem , the rich make deals with the IRS to only pay pennies on the dollar , while a poor working stiff is crucified and forced to pay penalties and interest on a relatively small amount and threatened with garnishments and seizure of property
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
The government overstepped it's authority in the pandemic by closing Churches and Taverns , They are afraid of the Church because of all the moral decay and pain they have inflicted on the people with their corruption, they know the American Revolution was fostered in Churches and Taverns and the people will only take so much so the first thing they did was to close Churches and Bars to control dissent and divide and control the people, they have no authority to quarentene people who are not sic
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Essential services yes , but people have always gathered with others like themselves and in a free country they should be allowed to associate with who they choose as long as they don't discriminate on jobs ,housing , education , etc. It is like going into a cigar bar and complaining about the smoke, you are not forced to go in
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
We say God bless America but do not mean it. The Constitution only provides protection from any one religious law to be forced on the public but it is expected our leaders be honest and moral , compassion and morality come from God and all our founders stated this Nation would surely fail without his blessings
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
We need to vaccinate to protect the general public but only after the vaccine has truely been tried and tested for safety, Our government has lied about the Covid vaccine , it was rushed into production in one tenth of the time normally required, there was no time for adaquite studies on safety to be made, we will not know the real harm for years to come, and guess what , we can not sue for damages, If you give your dog 5 rabies shots and he still got rabies a reasonable person would know it did not work
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
B There are problems with the system but you don't throw out the baby with the bathwater, Universal health care would be a disaster much as our treatment of veterans at VA hospitals, The real problem is the cost , healthcare has outpaced inflation for many years , we need more doctors and medical personal to create competition and lower prices
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
B it all depends on the circumstances, like Russia invading Ukraine, if we went to Europe and invaded another country there would be hell to pay, Biden handed over a whole country to the Taliban who stated intentions is to put the whole world under their religious laws, he did not end a war but brought it to our doorsteps , these are animals who openly execute their opposition with a bullet in the back of the head in the streets, and will not honor any treaty that they make
I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.
Strongly Disagree
Israel is our greatest ally in the region without them there would be unchecked chaos of other nations in the region who support terrorism, there needs to be movement to promote the rights of the Palestinian refugees but there has been strife in the area for many decades and will not see a solution overnight
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
We are already feeling the effects with shortages in medicine and certain materials, Biden broke the law by using the war appropreations act to purchase batteries and solar panels from China, we are not at war and it is not a national emergency to switch the country to all electric, it is called misapropreation of funds and is a impeachable offense, China has given up taking us over by the military , they are buying up land and will soon be our landlord
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Maintain a strong military , a strong police force , and a strong National Guard, all which have seriously decayed in the last 40 years
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
They will never control the border with catch and release, there needs to be a severe penalty to persuade those to decide not to cross illegally
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
National guard was federalized to enforce federal law and segregation in the South, why is it allowed for Mayors and councils to flagrantly flaunt federal law now with Sanctuary cities, it is the begining of a breakdown in our society and a return to the fuedal system of roving bands of rogue militia
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
We welcome all to our country if they follow the law and proper procedures and do not pose a threat to our citizens
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Neutral
If you just say you are one or the other it infringes on the rights of others such as using bathrooms , playing sports , etc.we all have the same rights as a man or a woman, God did not make a third sex and you can cut off or sew on body parts but your DNA will always tell who you really are
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
I have just traveled across this Country from Florida to California , what I saw was people of all races living , working , and going to school together with little problem , It is in the big cities where the government builds Ghettos to breed them like rats and make them dependent on the government so they can control their votes, the politicians and the activists tell them they live in a evil and raciest society and are not accountable for their actions, so we have school shootings to lash out
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe there is one God regardless of your religion , religion was created by man not God, God has given us dominion over the land , sea and air and all life in it and we have done a piss poor job of taking care of it and nurturing it, many have rejected God and are little more than animals acting out of greed and seeking their own comfort above all others, we were put on this earth to marry , multiply, and help each other create a more perfect world
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
In this age of millions of scammers on the internet and stealing peoples identities the government needs to know who you are and that you are eligible to vote and that you have only voted once
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
If mail in voting is allowed they should all be in early and physically verified before election day so we will know for certain on election day who really won
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Throughout History many Nations and races have been slaves , should we give reparations to everybody , how about the African tribes who raided villages and sold other tribes to the slave traders, we can not go back in history and try to right every wrong , those were the times we lived in and thankfully changes were made for a better future
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is not a threat, it is taught and does not come naturally, my Mother was raised in the South and is very racist , I am not and my children and grandchildren will not be as I have taught them different, the only threat is the politicians and activists who try to use it to divide us and give them power as they control our actions, we can celebrate our common beliefs and values much easier than bitch about our differences
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Neutral
Some fracking is necessary but we must be careful to minimize damage to the environment
Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.
A Anyone who has worked for the government knows it operates one way, the government sees a problem , creates a committee to study it , that creates a agency to deal with it but once the initial problem is solved the agency keeps making more rules to justify their paychecks , many of the new rules are costly and provide little benefit other than keeping the jobs of these government regulators
ABOUT YOU
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Conservative
I believe it is Congress 's job to spend the tax dollars wisely , serve the people fairly and quickly, and guard the people's rights against any assault or devious plot to take them
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
Being a independent there is little public information available , the media caters to the major parties with millions of dollars in advertizing revenue, channel 4 did a interview just prior to the primary and most if not all of it is probably on the cutting room floor
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
No
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
My first priority would be to vote to impeach Biden, he is a American Dictator , has ruled by executive decree from day one bypassing the peoples Congress, the Constitution states the President is supposed to submit a bill to Congress for it's approvale, with a majority in the House , a tie in the Senate,with Harris there to break all ties , he can't even do that, he is the village idiot they made King, He can't even answer a reporters question , afraid his handlers will get mad at him
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Agree
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
The Police have been assaulted, stabbed , shot , and vilified the last two years leading many to resign or retire , what doctor or community volunteer could stand up to that abuse , these people who think that could use the shrink
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Guns don't kill people , we need more focus on mental health , a rational person would not shoot a unarmed victim, we have got to stop letting our government tell people that America is a evil racists society , it is societies fault for their problems and they are a victim and have no personal responseability for their actions, it only builds up resentment until they finally lash out who they believe are hurting them
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
That is insane , it is like suing a car manufacturer because a drunk driver killed your family
