Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

It’s unfortunate that we don’t live in a perfect world. Sometimes things go wrong. For example, as in an aberration of nature. In such cases, the right of self-defense to protect our life granted to us by our Creator applies; even to a pregnant woman. If it’s clear-cut from a medical standpoint based upon actual facts, not a feigned excuse, that continuing a pregnancy would most likely result in the mother’s death, then it’s her right to choose to take the risk of continuing the pregnancy and possibly die or to terminate the pregnancy and presumably survive.

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

The first obvious step is to stop the current policy of letting radical Islamic terrorists enter the United States and become residents. The second obvious step is to stop creating radical Islamic terrorists which is not only the effect of the War on Terror but is arguably the purpose of the War of Terror.

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

His sinful, fallen nature.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Most self-proclaimed Christians aren’t. They’ve given Christianity a bum rap. On Judgement Day they won’t hear “Well done thou good and faithful servant;” rather “Depart from me I don’t know you.” He doesn’t know them because they don’t know Him. In 2000 I found the vast majority of pastors cowards. Whereas growing up I was at church whenever the doors opened and took communion every New Year’s Eve, I no longer attend church. No cowardly pastor has anything of interest for me. People say it’s mandatory to gather in His name. In today’s Happy Talk churches where every gov’t holiday is used to honor soldiers who kill innocent people for the gov't, the gathering isn’t in His name. Even though I’m not there, I’m in good company; God’s not there either. My new book “Authentic Christianity: Obedience, Repentance and Holiness” challenges self-proclaimed Christians to be Authentic Christians. Obedience is mandatory. The Sinner’s Prayer not preceded by a decision to be obedient won’t cut it.

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?

No Answer

Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.

I’m not a liberal or moderate; they usually reject our Creator provided instructions for life. I thought I was a conservative (my first vote for a President was Mr. Conservative himself, Barry Goldwater). I’ve discovered conservatives misrepresent themselves. Just like Republicans, they don’t walk the talk. After 5 decades I became tired of Republicans/Conservatives saying one thing/doing another and registered as an Independent. I’m more Libertarian. Not the Libertarian Party however, which is anything but Libertarian and has given Libertarianism a bum rap. Checkout my Libertarian bona fides at www.LeeOlsonForSenate.com.

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

The only way to achieve adequate, affordable and accessible healthcare is to get gov’t out of the healthcare arena. This should be obvious to everyone. The more gov’t has gotten involved the less adequate, affordable and accessible it has become. The current ObamaRepublicare abomination was created by and for the benefit of the insurance/broker/pharmaceutical mafia, not the patients. It’s burdened with unconscionable overhead waste, inefficiency and fraud. The first item of business must be too deep six ObamaRepublicare and return healthcare to the private sector under the control of patients, doctors, hospitals, etc. and private healthcare insurance providers. The second item of business is to remove the gov’t from any involvement in healthcare such as Medicaid and Medicare. This will be difficult because people who benefit from these programs will want their freebies even when they know it means funding of their freebies has to come from gov’t theft of other people’s earnings.

What role should government play in boosting the economy?

The government should play no role in boosting the economy. Everything the government does always destroys the economy. Before the government can do anything for someone it MUST first do it to someone. The government does not and cannot create wealth it can only extract wealth (taxation). Thus, there will be less wealth that can be used properly and efficiently by those it was extracted (stolen) from. The only way for the government to boost the economy is to quit extracting wealth that could be productively used to create more wealth. This means reducing the amount of wealth it extracts (reduce taxation). Another factor that must be mentioned is that the government must quit increasing the national debt. This means it must not spend more than it takes in. Increasing government debt does not boost the economy, it destroys it because of the wasted extraction of wealth necessary to make interest payments on the debt.

What changes should be made to the tax code?

Fiddling with the tax code is nonsensical. My goal is to curtail government spending such that income tax isn’t required. Check your history, you’ll find there was no income tax until the 16th amendment was ratified. The reason the Founders did not grant the federal government power to levy an income tax is they believed that a person’s income – property he acquires through labor and exchange – is an essential aspect of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Thus, it’s the right of each person to acquire wealth and property and then decide what to do with it. According to W. Cleon Skousen, “Strange as it may seem, the Sixteenth Amendment (which gave the American people the affliction of confiscatory income taxes) was never supposed to have passed. It was introduced by the Republicans as part of a political scheme to trick the Democrats, but it backfired.” Another brilliant move by Republicans. I won’t waste my time manicuring the tax code. Repeal of the 16th Amendment is my goal.

What is the best way to bring down unemployment?

The best way to bring down unemployment is unleash the creative abilities, powers and energies of Americans. That means letting Americans keep more of their hard earned income and removing the unjustified and mostly unconstitutional restraints imposed on Americans by their overbearing, increasingly tyrannical government. This would include implementing a 10 year moratorium on the addition of freedom usurping regulations in the Federal Register, wholesale reduction of existing unconstitutional regulations, reduction of taxes of all kinds, the implementation of tax incentives for creating new businesses and expanding existing businesses, repeal and/or elimination of federally mandated employment laws/regulations and myriad other business hindering laws/regulations. Or, in the words of one of my campaign slogans, "Getting Government out of our Wallets and our Lives"

How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?

Social Security (SS) is a Ponzi scheme. The last people in always lose. They pay in but, are never paid back. SS is an immoral theft of workers earnings to pay others. Courts ruled SS tax is, in fact, a tax; not payment into a virtual bank account. You can order a record of your SS tax payments. Don’t think they are deposited into your account. No one has a SS account with their name on it. All one has is a promise to of SS future benefits. That promise will not be honored in the future as benefit payments are growing faster than tax receipts. Benefits cannot be guaranteed for future generations. The demographics say so. The immoral SS Ponzi scheme must be repealed so individuals can invest for themselves. Simultaneously a plan must be implemented to gradually phase out SS benefits. The plan will likely have to be implemented over a period of 5 – 10 years in order to provide sufficient time for people to adjust their income and spending plans to accommodate the phase out.

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?

A big plus, I’m not a lawyer. A 2013 Pew poll found one third of Americans think lawyers contribute little or nothing to society; the lowest of any profession. Fortunately, a WAPO article shows this most disliked – and elected – profession is disappearing from politics. I’m one of the new breed; those with real life education/experience. I have advanced technical and business degrees with 52 years' experience implementing this education as a member in good standing of the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC). I’ve worked inside Black Programs. I know how the MIC operates and its jargon. I have better inside knowledge than Dianne “Not So” Feinstein. I understand the technical facts of several current issues including high altitude EMP effects on the power grid, real vs fake climate science and many more. No other candidate has the ability to stand up against fake claims made by MIC warmongers, fake climate scientists and others. See the About page on my website for more details.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?

I’m a radical freedom fanatic. Freedom is a birthright endowed to every human being by our Creator. Governments have gradually usurped it. As shown in the Sovereignty issue paper on my website, as of 5 Jun 2017 our sovereignty (freedom) has been usurped 100% leaving us with nothing. We’re totally enslaved. I want my endowed freedom back for myself, my children, my grandchildren and all human beings. As your Senator, I will be tireless in vigorous pursuit of our freedom. I’m also a political junkie. I’m well aware of how the Fed has been used to enslave us and transfer our wealth to the Special Interests. I will put a stop to that and seek redress. I’m aware that we’re ruled by a Deep State/Shadow Government that is channeling us toward WWIII in order to keep its grip on us and achieve its goal of building an empire that rules the whole world. I will vigorously stand against the propaganda being used to incite us to mindlessly march lockstep into WWIII. Peace, not war, is the answer.
