OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Strongly Agree

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.

Strongly Agree

I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Abortion is extermination. Abortion is never acceptable. If life saving surgery is needed for a pregnant woman, the procedure should attempt to provide lifesaving care for the baby and the mother if at all possible.


ECONOMY

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.

Strongly Disagree

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?

The Social Security fund will be refunded the money stolen and a law passed where that money can never be moved into a general fund where it can be used for other purposes. That is the people’s money who put it there.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

Any spending that the Constitution doesn’t allow.

Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?

No circumstances. Laws however should be changed to where the interest on student loans is changed to Zero.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

Strongly Agree

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Strongly Agree

I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.

Yes

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

The government cannot establish laws that forces individuals to go against their religious values or faith.


HEALTHCARE

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.

Strongly Disagree

I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.

Strongly Disagree

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

A lot of changes need accomplished with our healthcare system. We need to be able to establish high deductible insurance plans and health savings accounts. We need to change the laws where individual owned insurance has the same tax benefit as employer provided plans Tort reform and competition across state lines. No mandates on insurance companies Transparent costs Allow people to make voluntary tax deductible donations for people with no healthcare. Healthcare is not an inherit right in the same that food isn’t. We can sympathize with those that do not have food or healthcare but it still is the responsibility of the individual if they are mentally and physically able.


NATIONAL SECURITY

The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.

Strongly Agree

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?

Maintain a strong military! Whenever threatened by radical Islamic terrorists, we destroy the threat immediately.


IMMIGRATION

I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.

Strongly Agree

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be abolished.

Strongly Disagree

State and federal funds should be denied to any public or private entity, including but not limited to sanctuary cities, that are not in compliance with immigration laws.

Strongly Agree

Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.

Strongly Agree

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

No one for a minimum of 10 years.


EDUCATION

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

Strongly Disagree


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

God is the father and Jesus is my Lord and savior. My beliefs and values start and end with biblical values.


ABOUT YOU

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?

Very Conservative

Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.

My website jaromebellforcongress.com

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

No

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?

I’m a true America First candidate. I’m a fighter and as far as politics go, I’m an outsider just like President Trump was. I am the one that ALL people in Virginia and America can trust and depend on. I will never take for granted the forgotten people and communities that others don’t care about unless it’s an election year. I will take care of all veterans first and insure everyone that served this country is off of the streets. I will always respect law and order and respect the blue. The American Worker comes first and any job worker shortages will be filled by Americans first. The day of the foreign worker or students taking jobs away from Americans will be over as far as I’m concerned. The education system in America will be revamped where every school will have trade skills incorporated inside of the buildings and companies that hire these high school graduates will have incentives. I will ALWAYS protect the life of the unborn! I will stamp out communism in Virginia & the US


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.

Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

Shall not be infringed was written into the Constitution for a reason. There will be no restrictions on gun ownership on my watch.


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state.

Neutral

I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.

Strongly Disagree

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Strongly Disagree

In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?

Immigration. Minimum 10 year moratorium on all immigration and the suspension of all foreign worker visa programs. Replenish the Social Security Fund Term limits and only natural born American citizens with Natural born American citizen parents can serve in the United States Congress. No more dual citizenship members either.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

Racism is not a threat to domestic security. Linguistic programming is. The words racism, white nationalist, white supremacist, homophobe, anti-semite, zenophobe and at one time black nationalist are linguistic programming words to cause division and discord.
