Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Over the counter alternatives to terminate conceptual cell growth caused from unwarranted sexual activity changes the landscape of abortion rights.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
The threat of terrorism comes with many faces. A compassionate America that invest in social norms to develop healthy families stems some of these threats. A steady focus on security to prevent foreign and domestic threats coupled with investments in the American family will mitigate the risk of terrorism.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Checks and balances. We must remain accountable for helping our neighbors. This means good stewardship of freedoms afforded to us as citizens. America's Founders designed these three branches of government with the intent to prevent abuse of power.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My spiritual beliefs are that we should focus more on our spiritual health than other areas of our life. We spend too much energy building careers and lost our way in the development of our families and children. We should spend twice as much time developing our Spiritual health over our social, physical and financial health.
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?
Somewhat Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I agree with fiscally conservative monetary police and feel that our government should focus on a reduction in force. Correctly operated social programs that encourage community action steer me closer to somewhat conservative social policies. The social policy of caring for poverty and families in our own nation should precede concerns over adopting immigrants that cannot function in our society at a high level. Foreign policy is an area we could also improve by first strengthening America's culture and leading by influence from a position of strength rather than manipulation.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
America's healthcare system provides a variety of services for the less fortunate. Indiana sets a world class example of how charitable contributions develop quality healthcare facilities and programs. The healthcare industry should benchmark the successful programs and work collaboratively to distribute them on a national level. The largest obstacle to improving healthcare is government intervention.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Government responsibility to protect the American citizens did not include assurance that each citizen would prosper. Over the generations we learned ways to manipulate the economic system for a better standard of living. This enables Americans to become more dependent on Government and less self-reliant. Self-reliance is a core ideal of the American citizen that continues to erode with each generation that does not feel economic hardship.
What changes should be made to the tax code?
the Internal Revenue Service is a part of the government that should experience a reduction in force. Streamlining the tax code helps reduce the size of the IRS and likely the amount of taxes the citizens owe.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Unemployment is an obscure measurement of the number of people not working. The equation to qualify the unemployment rate is often manipulated and does not translate to the number of Americans that live in poverty. A refreshing narrative is how to improve the quality of life for Americans living in poverty because many of them work and raise families but lack basic skills to reach a decent standard of living and quality of life. The long term way to bring down unemployment is providing the less fortunate with basic life skills to improve their children's standard of living. Then the children may not suffer the same life experience as their parents and unemployment would trend lower.
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Our nation contains individuals that developed wealth on a global basis. The world is full of third world countries that lack basic infrastructure to build a decent standard of living. Duplicating the American business model in less fortunate countries provides an opportunity to invest American capital and build markets. The fruit from these investments could go into the Social Security benefits for future generations. Until we repair essential problems with the size and growth of our government the concept of a guarantee of Social Security benefits is not logical. The government will continue to take from the savings of future and present generations to satisfy the desire for prosperity. It's not just about a mathematical equation it's about how the American Society has learned to live on credit. I would guarantee to lead by example and not become a victim of the live by credit model that is stealing from our future generations.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
My world view has developed over several years of experience in both social and professional paradigms. I developed a tremendous work ethic at a young age and spent most of my adult life working to outperform my coworker. Through those efforts my involvement in Church continued to show me how much people suffer working to obtain the American dream. These experiences made me understand that many Americans are not fairly represented in Congress by what they need day to day. This basic education qualifies me to hold office and speak on behalf of my constituents.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
Yes, I am interested in representing the core belief of each constituent in District Seven. I believe in community development to grow our families. And good stewardship of the freedoms we posses for our children to enjoy.
