Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
We as a society need to start valuing life over things. Abortion should never be allowed. We have to fight for that unborn baby, if we don’t then who will? Life starts at conception.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
The current administration has eradicated over 80% of radical Islamic terror in the United States. We must stay the course. We must also get aggressive on the teachings of Islam. Knowledge is power and we must know what we are up against at all times.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Our Founding Fathers where an intelligent group of men who understand mankind. Evil is real and it comes in multiple forms; greed, pride, lust, envy, gluttony, and wrath. Our Founding Fathers saw first hand that entrusting to much power onto one individual would be extremely dangerous. Power can sometimes result in the corruption of an individual(s) so our Founding Fathers carefully defined the separation and limited powers between the three governments. It gives us checks and balances.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Born and raised Christian. My husband and I are current members at Saddleback church in Lake Forest, California. My faith is what helps me lead a poltical campaign with love.
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.
I've been a prominent social media personality publicly stating my views.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
We need real healthcare reform that brings the costs down, increases the quality of care, and makes healthcare not guaranteed but an accessible option for all Americans. We need a system that puts people first instead of profits and pharmaceutical companies. We need to open the statelines to have a free market. I will also introduce legislation to ban pharmaceutical ads. How can we fight the war on drugs when we are constantly advertising them?
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
The government provides growth and stability of the economy. The government is also in charge of regulations and controls to ensure order and fairness in businesses operations. The boosting of the economy should be left to the people. However the government supports the economy when it facilitated transport and communication via the USPS. The economy is up when the government issues the military to safeguard lives and property. Local and stat governments will help grow the economy and provide jobs by funding education and building roads.
What changes should be made to the tax code?
I’ve always believed in a flat tax. A flat tax would eradicate the IRS and make it very easy for every American to pay their fair share of taxes. Would have still have sales tax and a Luxor tax and that way if you were part of the 1% and you bought something substantial you would be paying tax on that item.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
We have to get rid of some of these regulations, lower our corporate tax rate (we did) and bring Manufacturing jobs back to the United States. We have to start making our products in the USA instead of China.
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Social security is not guaranteed. The Supreme Court has ruled that social security taxes are not contributions or savings but taxes. Social security is simply a government spending program. Congress or the President can change, reduce, or even eliminate benefits at any time. To guarantee SS benefits for future generations we need to have the SS taxes be invested through personal trusts that would become tpersonal property and is inherited by your family instead of currently the government keeps what you’ve paid in when you die. It’s simple; it’s our money, we’ve earned it!
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I'm a middle-class American. I'm the definition of what the founding fathers were looking for to defend the constitution. I have pledged to the American people that I will fight to ensure that every American is treated equally, protected equally, and honored equally. I will reject bigotry and hatred and oppression in all its forms. I will reject donations from the NRA, Oil Companies, & Pharmaceuticals companies. This is an American campaign paid for by the American people.
