Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe that Jesus died for my sins and rose from the dead. I believe God is love and He wants to bless everyone. However, He gives everyone a choice to live in His presence with Him or chose to define good and evil on your own terms and not live in His presence with Him. I value the Hebrew Bible with the New Testament as God's word which is worthy of reading and studying to understand the world we live in and God's relationship to that world. I believe that "religion" per se should not be legislated. In other words, the government should not legislate a particular sect or brand of faith. However, as John Adams said, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." That being said, the Bible should be taught in our schools as a basis to understand what our founders sought to create in the United States of America. Further, I should use that Bible to help me understand principles of Righteousness & Justice.

ELECTIONS AND VOTING

Strongly Disagree

Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
1. Clear identification of verified US Citizenship on the photo identification used for voting. 2. Closed Primaries, in other words, the government should not facilitate lawlessness in primaries by allowing those who do not espouse a political party's platform to interfere in that party selecting of its standard bearer. Those who support a party should be the only ones that select their standard bearer in a primary election. 3. Many other election integrity measures that would further make it harder to cheat and improve public trust and transparency.

EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes, any time we treat people differently we are breading seeds of jealousy and envy. We should be working to put in place what Martin Luther King said, "I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. (Small, limited government is the goal. As has been said, government that governs least - governs best.)
