Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Personally, only one person will be the judge at the end of day and the Bible is clear (Jer 1:5). Furthermore, only in the case of incest should abortion be allowed. Legislatively, I believe that federal government should relinquish abortion legislation to the states (I applaud the MS 15 week rule) and that alternative social programs (not Planned Parenthood) are needed to consult pregnant women who may not want to be a part of the 60 million abortions since 1973 (R v W). However, if federal government must continue to intervene, they need not fund abortions. Since R v W was passed, it has been proven that a baby is fully formed at 20 weeks so H.R. 4712 is important in protecting a live baby and if a baby is formed at conception, it dismantles R v W completely. There is a good chance that 1-2 more Supreme Court judges will be named over the next 3 years, so look for R v W to come back up and, possibly, be overturned.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
First, we must eliminate legislators who support anti-Israel nations. For example, any legislator with an "A" rating by the NIACaction.org supporting Iranian interests over those of America. Second, eliminate legislators who are sympathetic to Louis Farrakhan, an anti-Semite, racist and pro-Islam leader. Thirdly, ensure that our military is well-equipped to protect interests of America and those of our allies from Islamic extremism.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
The separation of power is critical to the checks and balances of a Republic in that no one branch (legislative, executive or judicial) can impose an agenda of its own neutralizing any abuse of power. Small government was always the intent. Unfortunately, a 4th branch imposed by the left has emerged as unelected and unaccountable progressives intent on transferring power and liberties from the people to the bureaucratic government. This is the core of the fight in the mid-term election!
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I was raised in a Baptist church. So, I am a Christian first, an American second and a prosperity builder third. I take my moral compass and beliefs from the Bible, the only source of truth.
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?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
My website, www.rogerallisonforcongress.com, outlines my beliefs on immigration, gun control, welfare and and economic (pro growth) solutions. Visit my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/RogerAllisonforCongress Visit my Twitter account: @RogerWAllison I have written multiple Op-Eds run in newspapers (www.wilsontimes.com, www.heraldsun.com) on conservative issues.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Individual ACA insurance is $969/mo with a $7K deductible and family premiums are $2K+/mo, more than a family rent or mortgage. Therefore, I will propose a bill to include Primary Care Physician Concierge programs ($50-75/month) for local and minor treatment w/major medical component to reduce premiums by 75%.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
I believe in small government, but the government is the only entity that can move markets. Amazon, Facebook, and Apple combined could never move the needle negatively or positively the way government investment and regulatory requirements can. That said, I don't believe in handouts. Instead, I would like to see Economic Empowerment Zones created, of which is a little-known reinvestment tax doctrine of the TAX ACT associated with the re-patrioting of overseas business money. If approved, government grants should be allocated and available to ensure incubator programs are created and the entrepreneurial spirit is embraced into America's poor and dwindling counties where 1 in 3 are in poverty. Also, roadblocks and regulations limiting fair trade should be eliminated. Too many existing regulations contradict each other. The last thing we need is more regulation to prosper.
What changes should be made to the tax code?
Stay the course but IT MUST HAVE RELATED PROGRAM CUTS. Corporations (57% are small businesses) absorb the cost of matching FICA, 2/3rds of healthcare premiums and life insurance as well as paying into employee retirement, 401K, stock options, etc. of – roughly 30% of annual pay. Costs must be kept manageable to survive, of which, is impacted by lower taxes. As such, lower is better for survivability as well as investment back into the community (e.g., increased hires, equipment and expansion). That is why I supported the NC corporate tax cuts from 6.9% to 3% (reasonable rate) of which has netted a deficit for NC in the prior 4 years. NC was the poster child for the nationwide TAX ACT personal tax cuts. Specifically, the NC Republican house lowered personal tax cuts from 7.75% to 5.25% (30% reduction) and immediately the spending increased along with tax revenues. NC “rainy day” funds are maxed out, so NC will further reduce its taxes to 5% in 2019. This is a recipe for prosperity!
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Job creation. I believe in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, but our inalienable rights do not guarantee happiness. My Pro Growth platform believes that “earned success” is the key to “happiness” and that work requirements will take the chains off of many welfare recipients as proven time and time again! See #37 platform priority #1.
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
I can not guarantee social security benefits foe future generations.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have started eight (8) healthcare and technology ground up initiatives concluding in 1 IPO, 3 sells, latest with a $42M valuation. As such, I know how to grow small to mid-sized B2B family-based businesses. Where the economy of a small town manufacturer goes, so goes the economy of the small town people. Increased business growth incites hiring of which incites prosperity of which enables previously welfare-dependent individuals the feeling of "earned success" (the secret to happiness in the pursuit of happiness). I have also lived in DC so understand the culture that needs to be corrected.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am the 9th descendant of Patrick Henry so Liberty is in my DNA. My platform is Pro America, Pro Family and Pro Growth. My first 3 legislative priorities will be: 1. Welfare Work Requirement–Our constitution doesn’t guarantee happiness, just the pursuit; yet, we spent $22T over 50 years and poverty rose 13-16%! The secret to happiness is “earned success,” so, I will re-instate the work requirement for able-bodied welfare recipients with the goal of doubling welfare benefits. 2. Healthcare Insurance Affordability–Individual ACA insurance is $969/mo with a $7K deductible and family premiums are $2K+/mo, more than a family rent or mortgage. Therefore, I will propose a bill to include PCP Concierge PCP w/major medical component to reduce premiums by 75%. 3. Pro Life–60M babies aborted since 1973. I support defunding PPS and will advocate for state pro-life bills.
