Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
When carrying a pregnancy to full term would cause the mother's death.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
Build bridges, not walls. Make friends and allies in other countries through economic means, such as fair trade. Stop bombing and provoking retaliation. How are terrorists made? Often by killing members of their family so they naturally seek to even the score. Radical Christianity killed people during the Crusades. Radical Islam, or any other ism, will continue to be threats in the world. Shared economic interests will lead to peace faster than any drone bomb.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
What in the nature of a survey causes you to create such a leading question? Research the Articles of Confederation and discover why the Constitution was actually put forth and who profited from the signing of a document that guaranteed the newly formed Federal Government would always pay its debts.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in the Creator. Belief in a Creator should not lead anyone to believe that they are superior to anyone else, especially if it emboldens them to discriminate or act unkindly towards another human. I believe we were created to love and serve each other, not to conquer each other. My spiritual philosophy can be summed up as: Don't hurt people, don't take their stuff.
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?
No Answer
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
Your survey is framing the question without defining conservative and liberal. You are pandering to a knee jerk reaction of the human mind to polarize to Conservative/Liberal or Right/Left as propagandized by the media. Foreign policy? Stop colonial style aggression and instead create economic trading partners and friends. Immigration? We all have the human right to live wherever we want, borders notwithstanding. Have an efficient vetting process to make sure we are denying known criminals entry while accepting people who want to work hard and add value to this country. Economic matters? End the Fed. Social matters? Treat others as you would want to be treated. Be excellent to each other.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Who decides what is adequate? or affordable? or accessible? Government intrusion into the healthcare market (and all other markets) should be stopped. Government intervention is precisely the reason that healthcare is no sick care. Everything the government touches turns out worse for it. Let buyers and sellers negotiate what is in the best interest of each, without compulsion.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
The government has no business "boosting the economy." Anything it spends must first be stolen - and who decides how much should be stolen and from whom? Who decides who are the winners of this "boost?" For an economy to thrive, it must be built on an honest money system. The Constitution must be followed, Congress must coin money and regulate the value thereof. End the Federal Reserve immediately and repudiate the debt associated with this fraudulent institution. Coin United States Dollars (not Notes) and back them with honest value, such as gold and silver.
What changes should be made to the tax code?
The tax code should be abolished, along with the Internal Revenue Service. The Constitution is very clear about taxes. Only taxes authorized by the Constitution should be instituted. All other taxes are void ab initio.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Get government out of the way. Allow employers and employees to negotiate wages. Stop using tax dollars to pick winners and losers. Get rid of occupational licensing laws and other barriers to self employment.
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Social Security is a fraud and a Ponzi Scheme that is dependent upon theft through taxation of a larger and larger group of people. Those entering the workforce now should never pay into such a fraudulent scheme. Social Security is currently "guaranteed" by the force of Government stealing from the paychecks of those now working and transferred to those not working. Each person is responsible for their own destiny and providing for themselves. Social Security was always a bad deal - had the generations who paid into Social Security instead have been able to keep their own money and invest it, they would have been better off.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
What education or experience should qualify anyone to hold public office? Currently, most members of Congress are lawyers and they love to write more laws that strip away liberty and freedom from individuals. Therefore, I think being a lawyer should disqualify you from Congress. Luckily I am not a lawyer and would then still qualify. What experience should qualify you for holding public office? Should it be that you have held office before and proven yourself to be an expert and the continuation of government policies that strip wealth from individuals while lining the pockets of their donors? Experience at accepting bribes from lobbyists and corporations? This is the experience my opponents offer. Luckily, I have never held public office, never stolen from the public treasury through taxes and then diverted them to my corporate donors and never accepted money from a lobbyist. As you can see from my answer above, I am the only Candidate qualified to hold the office of U.S. Senate
