OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Agree

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Only, immediately following conception. The biggest issue here is when does life begin and I know it starts pretty quickly so I would have to say within the first week or so following conception. But I am not a doctor so this is still debatable.


ECONOMY

It is the government’s responsibility to be sure everyone has a livable income.

Strongly Disagree

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

Congress should pass a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

Strongly Disagree

What role should government play in boosting the economy?

Let the free market reign. End the ridiculous government regulation holding private enterprise back and let the markets control themselves.

What changes should be made to the tax code?

End the IRS and the entire us tax code.

What is the best way to bring down unemployment?

Once again free market will create more jobs and bring the unemployment rate down.

How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?

I don't think the government should be in the business of retirement. People could take the money they are required to put in for social security and instead put it into a 401k and it would be much more secure and profitable.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

Agree

Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.

No Answer

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

No Answer


HEALTHCARE

It is the government’s responsibility to be sure everyone has health insurance.

Strongly Disagree

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

Let the free market take complete control to allow the people to decide what they want.


NATIONAL SECURITY

I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.

Strongly Disagree

The United States should help defend Israel from attack by its enemies.

Strongly Disagree

Islamic law (Sharia) should take precedence over national and state laws where there are Islamic majority communities in the U. S.

Strongly Disagree

I support sanctuary cities.

Neutral

The United States should protect its sovereignty from the United Nations.

Strongly Agree

The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.

Strongly Disagree

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

1. Stop invading and bombing the middle east 2. Help the people of the middle east rebuild from constant war that we have created. 3. Have a strong militia on the homeland of the USA so that if a terrorist decides to attack inside the US then we have the ability to defend and react.


EDUCATION

Tuition-free public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.

Neutral

People should be allowed to use public restrooms, showers, and changing rooms based on "gender identity."

Strongly Disagree

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

Because the knew power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The smaller the government the better.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I was raised Christian, I have grown beyond the book and the church because I believe that true spirituality is a more personal relationship.


ABOUT YOU

I voted in these primaries and general elections:

2010 General Election, 2012 General Election, 2014 General Election, 2016 General Election

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 am more of a mix of both, socially liberal I believe in freedom of marriage, ending the drug war etc but im also fiscally conservative where I want to end the Federal Reserve and take our currency back, stop the wars so we are not spending billions on blowing people up in far away lands for greedy politicians.

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

I am just a guy who cares about people and freedom, I don't have a college education and Ive never worked in politics but I have had a passion for Liberty for over 10 years and have dedicated myself to studying political philosophy and politics in general. I am seeking office so I can try to make a better future for my children and their children someday.
