Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a deeply committed Christian. I accept the King James Bible as the word of God. My six children and I completely share this view. My wife died when they were 12, 10, 8, 6, 6, and 2 years old. I brought them up in this absolute belief. I am a scientist, and see no conflict between sound science and this view.

How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Insist that the Social Security trust funds are held in real assets. Currently, Congress spends these funds and pays with US T-bonds, which are no more than IOUs from the U.S. Congress. Congress must tax the citizens a second time to repay these bonds and make this money available.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
Please refer to my book "Common Sense in 2012." I have been strongly recommended by Martin Kamen Edward Teller Steve Forbes Frederick Seitz Scott Carpenter Harrison Schmidt Ron Paul And many others. I will renew endorsements after the primary. I have won four Republican primaries here in a row, but it would be presumptuous of me to ask for renewed endorsements before I win this one.
