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?
Never, adoption is always an option. a life is a life and God has a reason for creating that life, even though we may not always understand why.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
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?
CUT THE WASTE, USE SS MONEY FOR SS!!! NO MORE HANDOUTS FOR ILLEGALS, OR ANY OF THE OTHER WASTED SPENDING. QUIT CONTRIBUTIONG TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES THAT HATE US AND ,USE THE MONEY FOR OUR SENIORS AND OTHER PROGRAMS.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Aid to Foreign countries that hate us, the stupid research grants for studying crap as some politians pet project or helping their associates get rich, Example (New York's $800 million dollar solar project that didn't work). most of all no benefits for illegals!! Trim the fat in government, such as IRS, department of education, and many other branches that are overstaffed and full of bureaucracy.
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
None, you borrowed it, you pay it back, people can always find a more reasonable cost at a lot of colleges, Elite and Ivy league colleges are overrated, law is law, science is science, English is English, chemistry is chemistry etc... It is ALL BASED ON PERCEPTION that their getting a better education than you!!
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?
Conduct the government the way it was intended in our constitution, do not force any beliefs on anyone, but always keep in mind we are a country that was founded on Christian principles and those principles should guide our decisions.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
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?
First off we have to get rid of the disaster called Obama care. Then create transparency from healthcare providers, in other words level playing field for all. Provide insurance to all through co-ops, across state lines, private insurance, and any other means necessary. Washington had 8 years to create a plan while Obama was in office, and failed to do so. I believe anyone with half a brain could create a plan for everyone in 8 years time, it was not a priority for our elected officials to provide healthcare to Americans. They failed us miserably and continue to do so.
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?
Seek out the groups and their training camps through the intelligence communities, then destroy those camps. We also need commitment from other nations to eradicate this threat by any means necessary.
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?
Merit based system based on the needs of our economy. 90% of the countries out there suppress their people, we cannot and should not take all of them in. We currently cannot even solve our own problems with the current politicians that are in office.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
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.
Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Attended bible church for years, and several years ago started attending Methodist church. I believe that Jesus Christ is our savior and died on the cross for our sins. To be born again and except Christ as your personal savior is the only way to heaven.
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?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
Visit my web site at www.chentnikforcongress.com to view my positions on the issues.
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 fighter, and will always do what is right. My background has prepared me well to serve our country, I am not a politician, a yes man, or politically correct, and never will be. We are losing our country to the leftist liberals and foreign influence and it must be stopped at all cost before its too late for our children and grandchildren. We are a great nation, the greatest nation on the face of the earth, we will not and cannot be part of a so called "world order" as the rich and elitist's want us to be. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! THE SILENT MAJORITY IS NO LONGER SILENT!!!
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Keep them out of the hands of felons, the mentally ill, and that's about it.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state.
Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
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?
1. Right to life, overturn Roe vs. Wade in the supreme court. 2. Stop illegal aliens from entering our country, and develop a merit based system for immigrants. 3. Legislation to create transparency for healthcare providers and drug companies. WE MUST GET A HANDLE ON THESE COSTS. 4. Create term limits for Congress and the Senate, too many career politicians that don't give a damn about us, only power. I could go on all day but that's just a few as asked for.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
It would be if it existed as bad as the media and liberals portray it, while still existing, racism is nowhere near the levels as the Dems want you to think, their goal is to divide our nation at any costs solely to gain power. That is why they want mail in voting and voting rights for illegals.
