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?
In the event that it is necessary to save the life of the Mother.
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?
For starters, reduce wasteful government spending, reduce the amount of fraud, waste and abuse in government programs, reduce the size and cost of government itself, and prohibit government from tapping into the Social Security Trust Fund to cover deficits or subsidize other government programs.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
For starters, Foreign aid, Corporate Subsidies, and budgets of bureaucratic agencies, and reduce the amount of fraud, waste and abuse in government spending and programs.
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
I am not certain that taxpayers should help pay off existing student loans, but would be open to the notion of doing so in exchange of the performance of a public service which would benefit this nation and its citizens.
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?
I believe that separation of church and state means that the "Church" and the Individual has religious freedom- free from Government control, and further, that the Government is prohibited from promoting one religion over another and restricting an individuals religious practices. The First Amendment to the Constitution prevents the Government from making such laws that regulate an establishment of religion or that prohibit the free exercise of ones religion.
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?
I believe that every citizen of this great nation should have access to adequate and affordable health care which I believe is best delivered in a competitive market place rather than by government mandate. I did not support certain mandates of the Affordable Care Act as they infringed upon ones freedom of choice in the matter.
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?
Secure our borders, tighten immigration, and prevent radicalization of individuals in this country.. for starters.
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?
For starters, those who truly embrace our American values, are capable of assimilation into our society, and will make a positive contribution to the future of America.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Agree

We the people, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, In God we Trust; these simple yet profound words have been the very foundation of this great Country since its beginning.

Unfortunately, today these sacred ideals are under attack, and in fact, now our very liberty and existence as an independent nation is jeopardy.

God bless you and I thank you for your vote!

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Unfortunately, racism still exists today in this great nation of ours and I am greatly saddened by that fact. However, I do not believe that racism in and of itself is a threat to the domestic security of the United States. However, I do be believe that the ISSUE of racism is being wrongly used by certain radical and dangerous elements- on both the far right and far left of the political spectrum in this country in such a way as to threaten the domestic security of the United States at the present time.
