Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Personally, I do not believe that abortion should be used as a method of birth control. But on the other hand, I do not believe a Judge, Lawyer, Politician have the right to perform a gynecological examination on a lady. If one believes in a 20 week abortion which some politicians believe in, they are really not pro-life. I am against a 20 week abortion. If a politician claims that a lady has to wait 24 hours to decide whether or not to have an abortion in a hospital is unconstitutional because it infringes on the right of a lady's choice to have an abortion. If a lady is raped and wants an abortion that is okay with me. If the mother is dying while having an abortion and there are complications for the mother, and an abortion is the only avenue to save the mother's life, is okay with me.

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
The American Founders knew that America will become a Tyranny Republic one day. A questions was asked: Is America heading in the right direction or in the wrong direction? The statistics were truly remarkable and stated that America was heading in the wrong direction. They knew that homeostasis is essential not only for health but for law also. Our health care is on the brink, and the rule of law almost broken because of our two tier justice system that thinks they can control elections.

My grandparents were immigrants. They taught all of us children the meaning of work ethics. They had their own professions and small businesses. Our parents taught us the importance of a good education in order to find a good job. A Florida State Representative supposedly makes 29k a year. When I ran in 2014 for Florida State Representative, I said a family of four making 29k a year could not survive in Florida. Today this holds true as the middle class is struggling in today's economy. The median salary of District 16 is 46k and this is an unacceptable salary to make ends meet in Florida. The point I am trying to make is that the millenials are struggling to finish school because tuition is so expensive. This is why I am your true conservative. I do not believe spending more than what you make. Immigrants should come to the U.S. the right way. Eliminating all the wars and giving money to all the countries that hate us would help balance the budget for education and health care.

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Voters asked me questions concerning my Health Care Plans, Child Care Plans, and my Educational Plans when I ran for United States Senate in 2016. I said," For the state of Florida, people making 50k a year or less and over the age of 50 years old who can not work anymore and disabled should already be on medicare and medicaid because that would have been the single payer plan for everyone. I also suggested Health Savings Accounts for child care and health care because it was not mentioned until after my Senate Run. For the Millenials: Health savings accounts while they are at a college or University, even a vocational school. This would be included in there tuition. Match deductibles with premiums toward your Health saving's account very simple and affordable. Without your health there is no quality in life to achieve homeostasis: Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Let free markets and free enterprise work instead of government controlling our lives.

What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Just stop taxing hard working tax payers so they will have more money in their pockets and create as many jobs we can. Quit taxing the struggling middle class.

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have a B.A. degree in Psychology from the University of South Florida I became involved in politics because of water regulation, the Farm Bill, Health Care, and Education. I am still licensed as a certified nursing assistant for the state of Florida and a certified court reporter for the state of Georgia. I am what you call a life long learner. I believe these experiences qualifies me to run for office and also being a United States Citizen over 21 years of age. I will be turning 63 soon. This is my third and last run most likely and it was a pleasure and honor to serve all constituents for the state of Florida because I just love Florida and America because this election is the most important election in my lifetime.
