Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Abortion should be allowed up to the point that there is reasonable expectation that a baby could be successfully delivered. Beyond this point, only to the extent that the pregnancy threatens the health of the mother.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
There is no magic solution. But promote policies that stabilize the governments of problem countries. And tighten up border security and immigration policies and standards. Coordinate with Israel and Egypt.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
A balance of powers discourages excesses. They understood human nature.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Humans didn’t create themselves, but I doubt that today’s religions have this stuff figured out. But you need a basic morality, and what we have seems to work nicely.
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?
Somewhat Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
Socially, the government should promote traditional families. It should allow for and not discriminate against alternative lifestyles, but keep this away from the forefront, so that children do not have their minds messed with. The biggest purpose of government is to defend the people. The military should always be ranked first in spending priorities. Tax money should be spent on must-haves, and should not tread too far into want-to-haves. People are forced to pay taxes. If people want to fund the want-to-haves, let them fund them as private citizens, rather than from the government.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Eliminate healthcare markets that are limited by state boundaries, to increase competition and drive down costs. Currently the healthcare industry must cater to each state market, which is very costly. Standardization across the whole nation will significantly drive down costs.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
It is the Federal Reserve's role to smooth out imbalances in the financial markets. Just because the government can create a regulation, doesn't mean that it should. The fewer regulations that exist, the easier it is for businesses to cope with them. In particular, reverse regulations based upon CO2 climate change fraud. Do what Trump is doing: run the country as if it was a business. Demand fair practices in international trade. Promote preference for American goods over foreign goods. Register or deport all illegal immigrants. Secure the borders.
What changes should be made to the tax code?
Very few. I have decades of experience with taxes. True reform is politically unattainable. Trump exceeded my expectations in what he was able to get passed. On my wish list: ELIMINATE ITEMIZED DEDUCTIONS, decrease the easy deductibility (it's almost an encouragement) for expenses associated with foreign income, increase (but not eliminate) the threshold for when estates become taxable.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Policies that promote private companies to employ people (fewer regulations, low business taxes). Steering education towards producing trained workers, in preference to general education.
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Eliminate the wage base cap on Social Security wages. Mandate a regular (every 3 years?) formal re-balancing of income and expenses, requiring Congress to act to specifically re-balance income and expenses. Congress may re-formulate the policies as they choose, but they should be forced to do this at regular intervals.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I don't deal much in theory; my experience is with reality. Politics, like life, is a juggling act. I've juggled cash flows of struggling companies and managed offices. This is hands-on, rather than conceptual. I've always been frugal with expenses. And I expect to be frugal with government spending.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
You don't know what you can do until you try. I not only want to win this election, but also help like-minded Republicans take back New England from the Democrats. And, in particular, I want to expose the CO2 hysteria as the fraud that it is. I was a Geology major at Harvard, and just spent a year researching new developments. Conclusion: The CO2 people forgot to tell you about the Ice Age. It's uncommonly warm, all right. Over the past several million years, more than 80% of the time, we've been in the bitter cold part of the Ice Age. What the CO2 people point to as extremes are, in reality, normal fluctuations. A superficial survey of the earth's modern history could have shown them this. And they're worried about global warming? I WANT TO START A POPULAR DEBATE ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE, AND GET RID OF THIS NONSENSE.
