Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I do not believe there is a reason for abortion. It is not the choice of one human to take the life of another. We are created beings with human dignity and the right to life.

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
A trait of humanity is greed. People like to have power. The belief in all people being born with equal opportunities versus an opposing belief in the divine right of kings is what led the Founders to separate powers. The allowance for accountability and balancing powers prevents tyrannical rule.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in one God. He is the creator of all living things. I also believe in freedom of the individual. Freedom is dependent upon character and morality. A free society must also be a moral society.

Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I am a pro-life conservative. I believe in the sanctity of life. I believe in freedom of the individual and the rule of law. I think that when society demands personal responsibility of their citizens, they are stronger and more able to productively contribute to society. I believe in individual rights over group rights. I believe that able-bodied people should do everything in their power to work. When people are motivated to work, everyone benefits. I am a proponent of the second amendment. It is part of the Citizen's Bill of Rights that we have the right to defend ourselves and our property. We are individual citizens and not subjects. It is true that we need to defend our borders. Without borders we are not a country. There are legal ways to enter for those who wish to be Americans. It is the immigrant persona upon which this country grew and prospered. The blending of cultures and diffusion of ideas has made us a nation.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
In my opinion, unemployment would be decreased with fewer government regulations and more support for small businesses. I also believe that decreasing governmental assistance and making it more difficult to procure for able-bodied people would contribute to less unemployment.

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Legislating health care is almost impossible. Eliminating the bureaucracy that is involved might reduce the costs some. Competition within the health care industry must be increased. Accessible health care is also necessary. While health care providers must take cost effectiveness into consideration, it is true that accessibility is a factor in where people choose to live.

What role should government play in boosting the economy?
The government should allow a capitalist free market economy as much as possible. Fewer regulations and less government interference will boost the economy.
