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
Life is a Blessing by God and the fact that as we have only learned about electricity 250 years ago, we do not understand the facts of true point of life creation. It is upon all of us to protect those that can not protect themselves. I have served in military and combat to help others, I believe strongly in protection of the unborn life. It should not be the tax payers that fund any form of abortion which does not follow the beliefs of all participating tax revenue. We should not fund.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Neutral
This is a family and personal choice. In many situations it is more dignified to pass with respect and in cases of major medical issues, suffering is beyond control. This is also becoming more of a medical cost impact for some people. Having the dignity to choose is a family and cultural responsibility.
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Not going to comment, this is too broad of a question. I believe strongly in right to life.
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Disagree
The fact is that America is in decay because the educational institutions and prior government did not create or sustain the technological growth process for the American people which would have provided more higher paying jobs. It is not a service based economy and this need to be change at it's core. We need to have a higher focus for America and the American people and Unite in accountability and clear pathways for the success of the people. I believe in a hand up not a hand out. I Mentor!
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Agree
The current spending is without a vision for the actual success of American and only a band aid for our current state of disfunction. Spending needs to have a return on the American investment. Currently we run America like a Good Will, based on donations from the people. It needs to be managed like the Business of America and the leaders in Congress need to understand they are responsible for the Business Growth and success. Stop Electing Social Workers to Congress.
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
I believe in All Americans need to pay for the security, education, health and community programs, natural uplifting of communities. It is however both a monetary and labor process in contributing to the overall growth and success of our nation, state or community. I believe in the standard tax for all at purchase, across the board. Incentives for technological and business growth that create jobs and purpose for others need to be incentivized. The current layers upon layers of taxation is theft. Example, if I buy a car, i pay sales tax, I pay when I sell it, I pay again and again, it should only be taxed once. The IRS is killing businesses and not providing for the success of American business. I have recommended using the Border as an Economic Development Zone, to provide for Business Growth along the border to provide both increased security and a pathway for economic expansion beyond the southern border. This is much like the train Rail System, Airports, Highway System, and much others, that actually take tax dollars and create future profit and business growth. Currently we tax and waste the money with no Return on the Investment. Any Tax needs to have a REAL forecast Return on Investment.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
The fact is God comes First in America, stop allowing the silence. Praise God and bring God back in to everything, schools, neighborhoods, meetings, and your home. It is not the right of the unbeliever to silence the believer. God Bless America
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
It is not freedom to insist that a business owner conform to the ideas and deviations of the morality of others. A business owner should never be required or directed by Government to promote anything or support something they do not believe in, simple to stay in business.
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
I don't understand the question. I believe you are asking about the separation of Church and State. Government should never control the faith based sector of America. Each person even if employed by the Government, has the right to practice their faith. FAITH!
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
I have currently lost any belief in the medical institution. We have fired police, military, teachers and so many, related to vaccinations that had no data of effectiveness beyond the physical natural immunity. I'm still trying to understand how that happened. Fear Tactics!!!.
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.
I support a healthcare with private options. It is not a one fits all. We have to hold people resonsible for their health. You promote smoking, drinking and poor food, then expect the people to pay for everyone with poor health. It is like having the same speed limit for every driver and every vehicle, 16-60 skills are different, an old Ford is not the same as a new Dodge, but the weather, skills or machine have no merit. Heath is the same. I work out 3 to 5 times a week, 62 years old, don't smoke, drink and teach fitness. I don't need much health care. I am also a Navy Combat Veteran, you don't give me free health care, but you give it to the illegals crossing the border. Let's start looking at the entire broke process of healthcare and funding and insurance. Stop lining the pockets of the few.
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. The United States should selectively help countries trying to grew democracy and fight tyranny. But it isn't decided by the money from the weapon manufactures, it is decided by the people. Not the ego of a Past President either. Having been in war, I have strong views "So Others May Live"
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.
Neutral
I need more data on this entire process. I have spent enough time fighting the battle, but some of these are never going to be solved by America.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
WAKE UP AMERICA! Look at the real trend of the drug traffic, media control and the theft of our Technology. It is not hard to do the math on the rate in which China grew from stealing from America or our Government allowing the transition of Power.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
We will never eradicate the threat, we must continue to mitigate the threat.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
I have put out a white paper about turning the cost into commercialized businesses. Our Government does not do border well. My white paper was not published by media. It increased security and grew economy and is visionary like the rail, highway or panama canal. We must do more for both security and humanity.
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.
Agree
This entire process is broken from top to bottom. From Border to cities. We continue to fail both the American people, legal immigrants and illegal immigrants. Is is poor Government in Action. Look at the State of America. Do you think we are doing anything Well? Come on Man!
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Maybe we should look at America as a Business and ask who we should let join into the growth and success of the business that we call America. Skills, Education, Qualifications, Ethics, Morality, Determination, you know who you would hire in your business, it isn't a hard question or answer. America is the most powerful and blessed in the world, set your standards to that level. Why would you water down the Kool-Aid.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Disagree
Just Stop all this!
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Disagree
You that believe in CRT, have only looked at one aspect. It doesn't not have a wholistic view of all Humans or the poverty of everyone. People don't realize that America was poor, it was poverty of the African nation that cause them to sell off their own people hundreds of years ago. All Americans suffered in crossing the frontier and working to make a Nation. These Issues are not balanced because you are trying to find logic in something without all the data. Bad Plan.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I wrote the book on FAITH. God continues to Bless me. I follow God's Plan of Action.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
We know that during the Bay of Pigs, many invaded our nation. It becomes more important that we protect America and our way of life. This requires us to secure our election processes. I can't go to the dance hall without showing picture ID. You must prove you are a qualified voter and we have a major issue with identify theft and cyber security, we need all the safeguards we can get to protect America.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
I say we follow the Constitution!
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
I think I should be paid back pay for my military service in which i didn't make minimum wage and you do not pay my medical. In fact because my father never paid child support, maybe you could bring that forward. NO, I do not agree with this, it is a baseless ploy to buy votes and us race as a divisive tactic. Only in America would we allow such a stupid concept, giving politicians a way to manipulate the people. Fix American Leadership, from Government to the Community Leaders! Step up, LEAD!
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
The manipulation of race and racism has been ongoing for a long time. Racism is multidirectional, we can continue to allow it to be used as a tactic to destroy America or we can all realize we are in America, the most powerful nation in the world. Every RACE!
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Neutral
I am not informed enough to understand the delta in this process from other processes.
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.
This is not a one or the other issue. We have a long history and an even larger future. Let's start by fixing leadership.
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?
Lean Conservative
I have been in the social uplifting of many, been in the war, worked many military programs, worked many business and technology programs. It is no secret that I am for Capitalism and against Socialism. The Media has already selected the 4th member of the Socialist Squad. I believe there is a place for liberalism and conservatism to come together, but not extreme socialists that simply disrupt laws and the society we have built.
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
I have had media smears and fake news. I know you can see that in the media today. Interesting how a Lead Engineer on Air Force One, Military Combat Veteran, Mentor to youth and educator of Computer Science and Software Engineering, promote Break Addiction Programs and Break Boards across America to help people, can be put into the corruption. I loved the movie Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, media and political corruption 100 years old. Still the Same!
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?
I have one priority and God is my daily inspiration, like he has been my entire life. SAVE AMERICA! You I Pray that you SEE the LIGHT!
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Disagree
It is every persons reposonibity to reach the expectations of their job or positions. Nobody is above the law. Police officers should not be held to a higher standard and should also not be punished for doing their duty to their best in the wide variety of situations. We need to look at their current role and figure out that they are challenged with a broad range of duties and responsivities. From highway traffic monitor to terrorist threat negotiation. Start looking at the big picture.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Disagree
Defund is not the solution, we need to embrace the challenges and expand the mission and qualifications. I think this needs to be a think tank for within the Police system to help come upon solutions.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I am a qualified NRA and DPS and Military weapon instructor. We need to do a true trend analysis in the root cause for shootings. Stop allowing media to exploit these situations and follow current laws and protocols in place. I am open to conversation, but facts matter. I promote a Veterans Carry Program to allow trained professionals to become secondary and tertiary points of security in our Nation. We actually have more a a public safety issue with cars, but we don't seem to see that perspective.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
It is not reasonable to hold anyone beyond the violator responsible for an action by the criminal. This makes no sense. It is like saying anything used in a crime is because of the manufacture or dealer. If a car crashes and kills someone because of a drunk driver, we should hold the car dealer or maker responsible. Makes no sense at all. SERIOUSLY!
