No Answer
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
incest, rape, protect life of mother.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
There is no one answer. Terrorism does not operate like a normal military. We need to be on guard constantly from all threats.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Our government is meant to be small and provide for citizens what they absolutely can not: court, police, military. Everything else should be met with hesitation.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
don't hurt anyone, don't take their stuff. Be a good husband, father and citizen. Do not be perfect, that's unattainable, but strive to be excellent.
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?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I am not sure how to "validate that". Ask me any questions on any issue.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
repeal Obamacare. Move to a direct payer system. Force doctors and hospitals to fight for your business. Divert tax dollars into Medicare to save it from its current state, but we need to find new ways to fund it or make it private.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Almost none. Just take off the handcuffs so that small businesses can flourish. No corporate welfare, no crony capitalism.
What changes should be made to the tax code?
move to a FAIRtax.org everyone pays into it. Its a consumption tax. The US will bring in more money in taxes than they do currently and there will be zero tax evasion because its built into the price of goods.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
stop burdening small businesses and individuals with useless regulations and over taxation.
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
No one can guarantee SS benefits for future generations. Its on its last legs and the benefits are not good...its barely over the poverty line. We need to find new ways for future generations to fund their retirements.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I don't think any education or experience can qualify you to be a Congressional rep, Senator or President. I think you need to be able to identify a problem and come up with real solutions. Not what you think people want to hear and not things that just put band aids for now.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am not arrogant enough to believe that I know better than you when it comes to running your life. I also do not want "power". I want to go to Congress to cut government spending, pay off national debt, solve immigration issues, reform Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security, reform welfare, end these horrible policies that keep so many people in this country in a cycle of poverty, etc. I will speak to ANYONE and I am always available to speak. I look forward to representing my district in Congress.
