I am absolutely pro-life! Absolutely! It is not about when they should be allowed, its about how we reduce them. Ultimately, how do we stop them. The solution to the abortion problem is about educating women that they will suffer, physical, emotional and spiritual consequences. The promoters of death work really hard to tell girls, its ok - "Its not really a baby, its just some cells. Its just bio-matter, like a wart or a skin tag." But deep down they know better. And after an abortion these girls suffer their whole lives because of it. Any woman who says - Im so happy I had an abortion is lying. I will - work to reduce the number of abortions carried out in the US by educating women about the emotional, physical and spiritual consequences they WILL suffer. Sonograms should be required, waiting periods should be required, minors should be required to get parental permission for all abortions. The only way to stop abortions is to be able to intervene early in a substantive way.

The state, the government, will not establish or support one religion over any other. That does not mean that our biblical values, established in our constitution, should not be the values that we derive our laws and principles from. I believe God loves everyone. Everyone is entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not just in America but the world. Our freedoms and liberties are the light to the oppressed throughout the world and we must preserve it.

This is a topic I am very very familiar with. It is a very complex problem of religion, economic and power. Discrediting the ideology of ultra-conservative Islam is the real battle because the source of this ideologies strength is in the martyrdom of the soldiers of Islam at the hands of the infidel. This is why this enemy is like no other enemy we have ever faced before and why with every victory against it the enemy seems to grow stronger or a new front in the battle springs up somewhere else. I would lay out a four step strategy. 1) promote a narrative which identifies the threat clearly to the world 2) create a new set of twenty-first century allies in the battle against ultra-conservative Islam 3) isolate states which promote conservative Islam (Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Lebanese Hizballah, the Taliban) 4) humiliate and defame jihadi forces all over the world socially, politically, ideologically and militarily

Simply put, the healthcare system is a monumental task. We must get rid of Obamacare, we must preserve the pre-existing condition coverage but the free-market enterprise is the most cost effective way to distribute scare resources in the fairest possible way.

I would do everything possible to preserve the benefits of those who have paid into tthe social security program. However, we absolutely must start looking at other forms of retirement programs as a insurance program to keep the elderly from living in poverty in future generations.

Entitlements such as Medicaid and social welfare programs have grown out of control. Social Security and Medicare are not entitlements. This is a gross over simplification but those able to work should not be able to stay on welfare and entitlements forever. But, that also means that we are going to have to start making sure that everyone coming out of high-school is employable (a trade or a skill of some kind). I believe the road to prosperity is self-esteem, education/training and hard work.

Never. Barring the most severe and uncontrollable circumstances like permanent disability or something to that effect. But, it also should not be so easy for young people to get huge education loans without some demonstrated way of paying it back. The ease with which money is available is what has caused the college costs to rise to such heights.

I am not unsympathetic to the plight of anyone in the world who wants to come to America. America remains the land of opportunity it has always been. However, due to the increasing ease of travel and the increasing failures of Socialism around the world, more and more people are fleeing to freedom. A big part of the problem here is the lack of low skilled labor available in the US creating a demand for labor and drawing hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to fill these jobs every year. But when they arrive illegally, they become vulnerable to abuses due to their status and drive down the wages for our existing low skilled labor force. This demand for labor, and the massive influx of immigrants then impacts our entire system: education, healthcare, the legal system, housing availability, etc. Our legal immigration system must be a merit based system. Period. Full stop.

Those with mental health issues (determined by medical professionals) should be a part of the existing process. I realize that HIPA laws prohibit much of this information from being accessible but we absolutely need to work to improve the process to prevent those who are actually mentally ill from getting access to firearms.

One my first day in office I will be proposing bills on: 1) Immigration reform or building a wall - Illegal immigration is a drag on our economy. 2) Department of Education and the Department of Labor being reformed, combined or abolished - We are falling further and further behind the rest of the world. 3) Criminal Justice Reform - It should not be a crime to be poor. 4) Mental Health services - This is a national crisis. We have 1.4 million attempted suicides in this country each year. Something must be done. This is also the cause of almost all mass shootings.

No. Racism will always exist. You can not regulate how people think simply by labeling it "racism" or "hate speech." Speech and the freedom to think whatever you want is a human right. I hate racism. I abhor it. The only way to overcome the racism that does exist is through education and personal experience. Our country is the greatest country in the world because we are not afraid of looking at our failures and working to make things better. But, living in the past will not carry us into the future. I believe, no I know, that we are not a racist country nor is it a threat. But some people and organizations use this false narrative to promote their political agenda.

My autobiography: Faith, Family and Fortitude provides I believe everything anyone would want to know about me, my faith, my family and my values.

Never.

I am not a perfect person. I have made many mistakes over the course of my life. All of them revealed in my book of scars and skeletons (Faith, Family and Fortitude). I love America. All of it. I love who we are and who we can be. I love what we have done for humanity over our short time here as the lamp of liberty and freedom in the world. I am running for US Senate because I believe our country is in peril from a leftist Socialist agenda to destroy our American Dream, to snuff out our light. To a great extent they already have destroyed our faith in God, our families and made millions of people dependent on the federal government. If I am elected I promise that I will go to Washington DC as a servant of the Commonwealth of Virginia to take these values back to Washington.

I am a devout Christian who will make decisions with biblical values as my guidepost. My autobiography: Faith, Family and Fortitude provides a full accounting of my walk with Christ as well as my personal struggles and victories.
