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

I will never vote for the use of federal funds to pay for abortions under any circumstances. I will never vote to allocate federal funds to organizations that either perform or promote abortion. I will always vote to protect innocent human life, and I will never vote for any legislation authorizing or approving euthanasia. I will always vote to protect innocent human life in any/all circumstances.

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Strongly Disagree

I will never vote for the use of federal funds to pay for abortions under any circumstances. I will never vote to allocate federal funds to organizations that either perform or promote abortion. I will always vote to protect innocent human life, and I will never vote for any legislation authorizing or approving euthanasia. I will always vote to protect innocent human life in any/all circumstances.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Only in the case of saving the mother's life should it be permitted.


ECONOMY

Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.

Strongly Disagree

This action would be strict unconstitutional. The government has no power under our Constitution to steal money from one group of people and give to another group. Income should be based on a person's knowledge, skills, and abilities and their desire to work for a living or sell a useful product or service to others. No one deserves a living if they are not willing to work for it.

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Strongly Agree

America has over a 100 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities and a national debt over 30 trillion. Spending is out of control causing spiraling inflation. Implementation and passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which shall require the federal government to balance expenditures with revenues on an annual basis.

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

It should be eliminated. Implementation and passage of the Fair Tax Act, H.R. 25, which would concurrently repeal the federal income tax amendment, eliminate all business, personal income, and capital gains taxes; it will replace them with a national sales/consumption tax that all Americans would be subject to. This would also eliminate the current unworkable, inefficient, wasteful and destructive U.S. Federal Tax Code. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) would also be eliminated with the passage of the Fair Tax Act. This will result in an economic explosion and create millions of new American jobs which will raise the standard of living for all Americans!!! It will also broaden and flatten the U.S. federal tax base and require all Americans to participate. Americans would only be taxed on their purchases of new goods and services and would decide when and on what items they will pay taxes on, not federal politicians in Washington, D.C. Taxes will be eliminated on income and production and replaced with a national consumption tax for everyone which most economists agree is the fairest tax of all. Business capital from all over the world would be reinvested into the United States and most of the millions of jobs outsourced over the last 30 years would return to the United States. The Fair Tax rate will be adjusted to ensure that sufficient revenues are raised to ensure there is a balanced federal budget each year to only cover the legitimate expenditures of the federal government as required by the U.S. Constitution.  The Fair Tax Act would also provide a stable source of funding for Medicare and Social Security which today are not financially stable over the long term and will become bankrupt if funding alternatives are not found. I believe that any/all expenditures not authorized by the U.S. Constitution must also be terminated.


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 has no authority to suspend the Bill of Rights even during a pandemic. Government action to shut down churches during the Covid epidemic were an abuse of power and absolutely illegal under our Constitution.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

NO ONE should EVER BE FORCED to do anything that violates their religious beliefs. PERIOD.

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?

As Thomas Jefferson once explained there should be separation between the church and the state meaning there should be NO STATE APPROVED RELIGION. All Americans should have the right to choose the religion of their choice or not belong to any church. This never meant that there should never be any religious ceremonies or prayers during political or public events. It also does not preclude anyone referring to the existence of a Supreme Being. After all, one of America's greatest saying is IN GOD WE TRUST!!!!!!!!!!!


HEALTHCARE

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

NEVER. GOVERNMENT HAS NO POWER OR AUTHORITY GRANTED TO IT IN THE CONSTITUTION TO ORDER ANY MEDICAL TREATMENTS FOR ITS CITIZENS OR TO COMMAND ANYONE TO PUT ANY VACCINE OR MEDICINE INTO THEIR BODIES. SUCH ORDERS AND MANDATES ARE EVIL AND NOT ALLOWED BY THE CONSTITUTION.

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.

Myclosest answer is C. Allow me to expand my views on health care. I will vote to immediately repeal any/all remnants of Obama Care upon my election to Congress and will oppose any/all future attempts to establish a national health care system run or managed by the federal government. I favor restoring a totally free-market health care system. Individuals should retain the authority to determine the level of care they require, the level of care they can afford, the level and type of health insurance they want, the doctors they prefer, and the medications/treatments they want, as well as having full control over end-of-life decisions for themselves.  No American must ever be forced by its government to buy goods/products/services they do not wish to purchase for any reason. I oppose all Covid mask mandates. I oppose ALL Covid vaccination mandates which I deem illegal, Un-American, and UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND A VIOLATION OF AMERICAN'S RIGHTS. I believe that tax deductions for setting up private medical savings accounts are an attractive option for Americans when coupled with basic catastrophic health insurance coverage. I will insist that health insurance sales be legalized nationally across state lines to increase competition among the insurance companies. I concur that individuals have the right to band together in groups to negotiate the best health care rates with the insurance companies. I favor the establishment of health care exchanges nationwide to drastically lower health care costs for its members while providing superior treatment. I agree that tort reform is very critical to reducing costs for health care and believes that the government's current system is laden with fraud, waste, and abuse requiring urgent legislative reforms. I do not agree that there is a one-size-fits-all health care solution for all Americans and believes it should be mandatory for insurance companies to offer competitive insurance policies for sale to individuals based on the individual's own health insurance requirements as specified by each American for themselves and their families. Individual Americans should be free to draw from a broad menu of available health care insurance service options that can be packaged together and sold in a competitive environment, as required to maintain maximum American health care and consumer flexibility, based on affordability.


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.

I select C as the closest to my views. I support the maintenance of a strong national defense and a military second to none, that is adequately funded, to defend the United States against all potential and actual aggressors, attacks, and actual national security threats from abroad. American military force should only be used to defend the United States and its allies from attack based on our approved treaties. I will not support the deployment of the U.S. military into foreign wars unless total military victory is the objective and all our troops possess the required logistics support/resources to win the war as quickly as possible with minimal casualties and loss of life. I will not support deployments of our military into foreign conflicts if restrictive, politically correct rules of engagement are unwisely imposed on our armed forces, specifically, those rules of engagement which will grant sanctuaries and unfair battlefield tactical and strategic advantages to America's enemies. I believe that it is too costly to defend foreign borders without defending our own borders first. I will not support the deployment of American military troops into NO WIN Wars that do not have clear achievable military objectives. I believe it is unconstitutional for America to assume the role of world policeman when America's national interests are not affected. Such policies must be terminated immediately since we can no longer afford them. I will support the reduction and elimination of unnecessary American military bases around the world that have no effect on America's national security. Savings from such base reductions could be used to procure new advanced weapon systems needed for U.S. national defense in a time of reduced available national financial resources or to reduce the federal deficit and the national debt. Returning military forces from closed bases should be placed on our own borders to defend the United States. I will not support long term American military combat action anywhere in the world without a formal declaration of war which is required by the Constitution. I will not support additional wars financed through federal deficit spending or Federal Reserve expansion of the money supply to pay for them. I will not support any sale or transfer of weapons or materials of mass destruction to any other country unless there is a treaty obligation or a direct military threat of invasion requiring America to help the nation being threatened or attacked. I will insist that Foreign Military Sales of weapons to other nations will not end up as threats to America’s national security. America must also stop arming both sides of every conflict around the globe.

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.

Disagree

Such an action would be tantamount to advocating the destruction of the state of Israel. I would fight this proposal.

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

Red China is a deadly enemy of the United States. It has launched a fentanyl drug war and a Covid virus war on us. There must be retaliation. I'd expel all their diplomats, students and technology spies. They are ripping off our technology and intellectual property. And using these secrets to build up their giant military. I also advocate the complete decoupling of all American business interests from Red China. All of our manufacturing capabilities and jobs must be returned from there.

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

Cut off all financial sources of funds to the terrorist countries. Impose heavy sanctions on any countries sponsoring, supporting or funding them. Conduct special operations to wipe out and destroy the terrorists wherever they have been located. Seal off our southern border where many terrorists known to our horrible government have been crossing into the United States over the last year.


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

I support and will vote for a wall on the southern border of the United States to prevent the entry of illegal aliens. I will also support and vote for travel bans of all foreign nationals who are criminals and terrorists, and to remove them at the earliest possible time if they are discovered inside the United States. I will also support the reform of the current VISA system to ensure that foreign visitors to the United States leave when their approved VISAS expire.

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

I also favor the prosecution of any state or local officials who violate their oaths of office supporting sanctuary policies which contradict and defy federal immigration laws. We must restore law and order and not embrace or support the unlawful entry of millions of illegal aliens.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

People should be allowed to immigrate to the United States if they are able to work for a living, be able to create business for themselves, be free of alcohol or illegal drug use, be free of any communicable diseases, and not have any known criminal record. Or if they are true victims of political terror or persecution. And they should be able to read and write English and pass a test to become Americans. Those who come here to commit crimes and become welfare clients and dependent on the American taxpayer should never be admitted.


VALUES

Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Disagree

WE MUST REMOVE THE TEACHING OF CRITICAL RACE THEORY FROM OUR SCHOOLS BY MARXIST SOCIALISTS IN OUR MIDST. WE MUST PROHIBIT THE USE OF PORNOGRAPHY IN OUR GRADE SCHOOLS AND THE ADVOCACY OF ALTERNATIVE DESTRUCTIVE LIFE STYLES TO OUR PRE SCHOOLERS AND ALL OF OUR KIDS. SUCH TEACHERS SHOULD BE PROSECUTED FOR CHILD ABUSE, TRIED, CONVICTED, AND JAILED!

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe in a Supreme God Almighty who created the universe and everything in it. I believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God who came to Earth to die for us and redeem our lives. I believe that only by accepting Christ as Lord and Saviour can anyone ever go to Heaven and see God. I believe that the Ten Commandments are God's laws for man to follow on Earth while we are here. When we break or violate them, THEY BREAK US.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

You can't get on an airplane without it or drive a car. The proposal to allow people to vote without an ID comes from those who are planning to commit and support voter fraud.

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Outlaw harvesting of vote collection by third parties. Outlaw voting by mail. Show up on election day and vote in person. Period.


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree

This is impossible to determine. And would be insane and unfair. Those alive today are NOT responsible for the sins or crimes of their forefathers.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

Yes the far left radical racism being exhibited in today's Democratic Socialist Marxist party is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Black Lives Matter is a dangerous Marxist organization dedicated to transforming America into a Communist hell hole. The Democratic Party now attacks white men as the source of all evil. It is a dangerous lie and will lead to internal strife and division. It must come to an end. Critical Race Theory is a leftist Demo crat policy which teaches that being born white makes one a racist. Such a lie. CRT itself is a HATEFUL LIE AND IS THE WORST FORM OF RACISM. It is designed to destroy the minds of our young school children and make them feel guilty. It is a left wing hate attack on the culture of the United States with the intention of destroying it.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Strongly Agree

All government controls on the design, development, and production of energy resources should be eliminated IMMEDIATELY.

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.

I will support the elimination of all federal laws, rules, controls, and regulations that are designed to limit the exploration, discovery, development, production, and refinement of abundant American energy resources. America has an abundance of national gas, oil, and other resources, that if developed and produced, would result in the restoration of American energy independence which Joe Biden HAS DESTROYED. This will create hundreds of thousands of new jobs for Americans, reduce the cost of energy for all our citizens, and eliminate the risk of foreign governments cutting off our access to precious energy resources. I will support the elimination of federal government controls on energy development and production, allowing American companies the freedom to explore, develop, and produce energy alternatives that otherwise, may never be brought to the public due to lobbyist-influenced, federal government controls. This should apply to all forms of energy including petroleum, wind, solar, nuclear, coal, and green technologies. Oversight of energy development and production should be transferred to state and local governments. Private enterprise must be incentivized via contractual requirements to minimize and eliminate environmental pollution that may result from such energy development and production. The individual states should enact whatever legislation they deem necessary to implement these objectives. American energy independence would also enable our country to avoid participation in unnecessary wars and military conflicts around the globe which are not in our national interest. WE SHOULD NEVER BE FORCED TO BUY ENERGY RESOURCES FROM OUR ENEMIES OR FOREIGN COUNTRIES WHEN SUCH RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY.


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?

Very Conservative

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

My contract with the voter of the Ohio 6th congressional district. I have published a 30 point contract documenting my positions. And I recommend you attach it to your guide.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

NEVER

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?

On Day one! I WILL DEMAND AND VOTE FOR THE IMMEDIATE IMPEACHMENT OF JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE NEW CONGRESS IN JANUARY 2023! I WILL DEMAND THE NEW REPUBLICAN SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE DO THIS ON DAY ONE! BIDEN's FAILURE TO ENFORCE OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS DEMANDS HIS IMMEDIATE IMPEACHMENT, CONVICTION, AND REMOVAL FROM OFFICE. WE MUST RESTORE THE CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS, AND REESTABLISH LAW AND ORDER! ). NUMBER TWO. SEAL THE SOUTHERN BORDER. FINISH THE WALL. Third, Implementation and passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which shall require the federal government to balance expenditures with revenues on an annual basis. Fourth. Implementation and passage of a Term Limits Amendment to the U.S. Constitution for members of the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Senate limiting House member to no more than 3 two-year terms, and 2 four-year terms for U.S. Senate members. We must replace career politicians with citizen legislators in accordance with the philosophy of America's Founding Fathers. Fifth, Implementation and passage of the Fair Tax Act, H.R. 25, which would concurrently repeal the federal income tax amendment, eliminate all business, personal income, and capital gains taxes; it will replace them with a national sales/consumption tax that all Americans would be subject to. This would also eliminate the current unworkable, inefficient, wasteful and destructive U.S. Federal Tax Code. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) would also be eliminated with the passage of the Fair Tax Act. Sixth. Passage of legislation that would make members of the U.S House and Senate subject to the same laws and regulations that all other Americans must comply with. This would include legislation that would make members of the U.S. House and Senate subject to the same insider trading laws that all other Americans are subject to. Congressmen should not use their high office to personally profit and become wealthy.  I will support an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to implement this policy. Seventh, I oppose all Covid mask mandates. I oppose ALL Covid vaccination mandates which I deem illegal, Un-American, and UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND A VIOLATION OF AMERICAN'S RIGHTS. Eighth, I will support a renewed emphasis on the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to restore the rights and responsibilities of our states under our federal system of government. There is a distinctive division of Constitutional authority between the federal government and the states that needs to be restored. Under the Constitution, federal responsibilities are "few and defined." I will judiciously support the phased transfer of responsibilities usurped by the federal government back to the states. We must move the center of gravity of power from Washington, DC to the state capitols. Unless a responsibility is assigned specifically to the federal government by the Constitution, it is the responsibility of the states and the people, respectively. Ninth. I support the maintenance of a strong national defense and a military second to none, that is adequately funded, to defend the United States against all potential and actual aggressors, attacks, and actual national security threats from abroad. American military force should only be used to defend the United States and its allies from attack based on our approved treaties. I will not support the deployment of the U.S. military into foreign wars unless total military victory is the objective and all our troops possess the required logistics support/resources to win the war as quickly as possible with minimal casualties and loss of life. I will not support deployments of our military into foreign conflicts if restrictive, politically correct rules of engagement are unwisely imposed on our armed forces, specifically, those rules of engagement which will grant sanctuaries and unfair battlefield tactical and strategic advantages to America's enemies. I believe that it is too costly to defend foreign borders without defending our own borders first. I will not support the deployment of American military troops into NO WIN Wars that do not have clear achievable military objectives. Tenth, WE MUST ARREST, PROSECUTE, CONVICT, AND IMPRISON ALL MEMBERS OF OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES (FBI, CIA) WHO ILLEGALLY SPIED UPON THE TRUMP 2020 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN FORGING FALSE FISA DOCUMENTS, AND CONDUCTING FAKE INVESTIGATIONS WHEN THE EVIDENCE WAS PRESENT SHOWING THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP NEVER COLLUDED WITH RUSSIA. ALL MEDIA FIGURES COLLUDING IN THIS LEFT WING CONSPIRACY MUST ALSO BE PROSECUTED BASED ON THE EVIDENCE THEY MUST BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE!!!!!!!! Eleventh. I will propose and vote for the TOTAL ELIMINATION OF ALL FORMS OF CORPORATE/BANKING WELFARE AND SUBSIDIES. I will propose and vote for reform of the nation’s welfare system requiring that those able-bodied adults work for their benefits.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Agree

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Strongly Disagree

Proposals to totally defund our police departments are the ideas of left wing lunatics. THIS SHOULD NEVER BE DONE.


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

). I will oppose any legislation or treaties that restricts or attempts to restrict or infringe upon the Second Amendment Rights of innocent Americans to bear arms for their own protection, and that of their families, friends, neighbors, and associates! I will support gun laws that will keep weapons out of the hands of criminals/felons, the criminally insane, the mentally ill, and those who publicly state their intention to use weapons to commit crimes.

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Disagree

Such an idea is insane. Crimes are committed by people not by the weapons. More guns are used for self defense and for crime prevention by honest citizens than are used to commit crimes. Most gun crimes are committed using illegally obtained weapons anyway.
