13. Based on the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, please arrange the following entities, starting with the highest source of authority, and continue the list in descending order of authority, skipping any that do not apply: Academia, Congress, Constitution, God, Industry, Media, Professional Sports, Supreme Court, Voters.
God (In God we Trust), Constitution (Our rights and protections), Supreme Court (to protect those rights for all), Congress (to work within Constitution creating new laws), Voters (select a Congress that represents the people)
14. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
We were escaping religious tyranny from England, where they would torture and kill people who did not follow the state-mandated beliefs or whose speech would upset those in power. The Constitution was set so people could freely express speech and religion and not have property seized or be accused of crimes without the due process of law.
15. Please list your educational, military and vocational history, and any church and civic leadership positions held, and political positions held or sought.
I've graduated from high school, and had some college but had to postpone my college education to take care of two parents who were both elderly and disabled. My father was a paralyzed Navy veteran, my mother needed double hip replacement. Since then, I've worked at race tracks in Kentucky, Keeneland and The Red Mile, but declines in the horse industry forced me to take a position in the service industry where I work at a convenience store.
16. What charitable, educational, religious, or political organizations have you been affiliated with as a member, contributor, or volunteer?
Honestly, I've been so busy trying to keep and maintain the house I live in following my parents passing, it's taken all my energy to focus on that. I just work my job at night, listen to CoastToCoastAM and try to survive without breaking the law. In a Democracy, the majority rules. If the majority decided they wanted to take your bicycle, they could do it. In a Republic, your bicycle is your property and you do not owe it to anyone. By law, it cannot be taken against your will. America is a Constitutional Republic. (reply to your question about Pure Democracy)
17. Please list the six (6) most important endorsements (groups or individuals) of your current candidacy.
The 400 signatures I collected on my petition for being an Independent candidate, that's my endorsement.
