14. Briefly list three (3) political or legislative issues of most concern to you, and explain why each is important to you.
Pro Life Issues because I believe that life begins at conception and Roe V Wade does not provide scientific proof to substantiate its existence and I will fight to see that it's overturned. Implementing a Flat Tax of 15% because it will allow American taxpayers to keep more of the money they've earned and will eliminate the complexed tax filing structure. Cutting Federal Spending and working toward a balance budget. This will remove the strongholds from the backs of the American people and provide economy recovery so businesses will feel comfortable in creating a job market of good paying jobs.
15. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?
I feel abortion should not be allowed under any circumstances.

Based on the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, please arrange the following entities, starting with the highest source of authority, and continue the list in descending order of authority, skipping any that do not apply: Academia, Congress, Constitution, God, Industry, Media, Professional Sports, Supreme Court, Voters.
God, Constitution, Congress, Supreme Court, Voters
17. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
As a Baptist, I believe Jesus died so that we may have life more abundantly and as long as we trust in and live according to his word our lives will be fulfilled on earth. I believe in helping those who are less fortunate but also believe in personal wealth. I belief that honesty and forgiveness are keys to a long and healthy life. I value family, freedom and the right to life. I believe that we live in one Nation, under God, where all men are created equal.
