Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Only for circumstances of rape, incest or reasonable compassionate consideration.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
We must have a dual-pronged approach, implementing a zero-tolerance for terrorists worldwide and those who fund them. In addition, we must educate the impoverished Muslim communities which are victimized by Islamic terrorism to let them earn opportunities for economic advancement, this would be highly profitable in the 21st Century.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
The nature of mankind to become corrupted by power caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution. We must maintain separation of the three branches of government, adhere to the Constitution and promote Nationalist principles to preserve our American way of life against foreign influence.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I have always been a Catholic, attended Catholic school in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 7th Grades learning the importance of Catholic values. When my grandfather was dying I was the only person he had for support and made sure his Last Rites/Final Unction was performed. My mom's side of the family is Christian and my Dad's side of the family is Catholic. I believe in Freedom of Religion for all people and respect the views of others, it's always interesting to learn the similarities and differences between world religions.
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?
Moderate
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I am probably America's most pro-gun Congressional Candidate, supporting complete elimination of anti-gun legislation and Federal Felony charges against anyone infringing our Second Amendment Rights, I also support eliminating both the National Firearms Act. I support maintaining access to Federal Aid programs for those most in need, my great-grandfather drafted the Social Security Act and I believe it's original intention of protecting America's vulnerable and Seniors must be re-established. Those who abuse our social welfare system must be punished. I am always told of a resemblance to both Donald Trump's policies, and John F. Kennedy's policies. Those two Presidents molded together would make a fantastic President and it would be my greatest honor to be that man.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
I also support eliminating the Controlled Substances Act, this would eliminate the need for Doctor's Prescriptions and make healthcare more affordable by greatly reducing the risk of fraudulent malpractice lawsuits against Doctors, this would also allow the free market to determine medication cost and eliminate the rising prevalence of counterfeit medication.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Providing jobs by renewing our infrastructure. America's roads, bridges, railroads, ports all need to be restored and that would create jobs for millions of Americans. Our natural resources need to be better managed, America has all the resources necessary to be completely independent of foreign influence and doing so would both create jobs in those industries but strengthen the U.S. dollar to a level not seen since the 1950's.
What changes should be made to the tax code?
I support a flat-tax of no more than 5% for all Americans. In addition, no American should be taxed on any time they work past 40hrs a week, this means the elimination of overtime taxation. Payroll taxes should also be eliminated, death taxes (aka Estate Tax) should be eliminated.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Enforcing trade deals which benefit America is the first step in bringing down unemployment. Strong tariffs against our competitors would promote domestic industry and return jobs to American workers. Overseas employment harms inner-city and low-income Americans the most and must be attacked as an anti-American policy.
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
By restoring the economy through winning trade deals we can ensure Social Security benefits for future generations. Social Security demands a growing economy and has only been put in jeopardy by the irresponsible business practices promoted by liberals and globalists.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have done more in 28 years than most people do in their entire lives. I am not willing to simply live an easy life and demand challenges from life. Having seen the injustice worldwide in places praised for their Socialist legislation, Australia, France, England, I know firsthand the Freedoms of America which are taken too lightly for granted. We must preserve the American Free Economy, protect our Constitution and once again earn respect from the World Powers we compete against. People want someone who's honest and hard-working, you won't find that from any other candidate in this race, and I guarantee to be the hardest-working, most brutally honest politician in America if elected. I love my people.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
Your interest, faith and encouragement is greatly appreciated. The support from voters in Eugene who voted for me, and the support from Lane County voters who were unable to vote for me but wished the could has been the greatest honor of my life. I have many friends across America, and around the World, if elected I can guarantee fair trade deals which promote the American Economy with an influx of investment from every nation on Earth.
