OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Neutral
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
Neutral
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.
Neutral
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
My head tells me one thing my heart tells me another. I believe young women should be counseled on the difficulties and the wonderment of being a mother. I think a young father as far as he's cooperative and support of the women .. should to be given counsel also. I believe a child can be the saving grace of this world regardless of the circumstance. Alternatives to abortion should be thoroughly and exhaustively explored in the most caring manner made available. But in the end after family and physician and even father have been counselled, in the end it's the Women's choice. My head wins out and say 20 weeks is the line ..the head gets the vote . But my heart says never .. but it does not get the vote
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Strongly Agree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
I'm a man of industry and Positivism but one of harsh reality's and budgets. First can we balance the budget, then can we identify through bipartisan research on spending that isn't serving the public interest.
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
Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.
Strongly Disagree
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?
Church is a matter of society and State is a matter of Government. These two things are not one and the same. Our Churches are most effective at helping the poor. the State bares the most responsibility Our morals are greatly steeped in our churches which is based in revaluation. Our Government is Steeped in duty and justice which is based in facts and evidence . Our society must be aloud to engage in there freedoms of Religion while our government must be held captive from them.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Jobs and better jobs.. for all?? why should I as Governor of Washington take on the responsibility of other states failed policy's. Why should our government take on the responsibility's of people who take no responsibility for there own life? Now am I not against Social programs. No, not at all. But these programs need to be held to a standard of success and like our convicts .. three strike your out .. three decades of failing programs have got to be stopped and new ones to address those need need to be tried. Our one size fits all Drug rehab Program for Obama care recipients is a scam!!! and it's the drug addicts getting scammed. We can do better Washington!
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
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
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.
Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
I'm running for governor of Washington. Immigration is natter of the federal government. Ask that question to your appropriate Representatives. But since you asked I liked Canada's migration laws and system.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Neutral
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
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.
This journey through this life has taken me upon many a path. I've studied the bible, I've studied Buddhism, and parts of Hinduism, and parts of many other Asian religions. I've Studied Plato and his philosophy of men, and I've studied Socrates and his philosophy of virtue. I've studied Freud and came away horny, I've studied Jung and came away mystified. I've studied Frederick Nietzsche and came away feeling like a ubermensch. I've read Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's "The Gulag Archipelago" came away crushed by the despair and anguish we humans can thrust on each other and amazed at the resolve and dignity of the human spirit. I'm a Zionist in so much as I believe the Jewish people have a right to a homeland, and that the world Decided the land were Israel now sits is that homeland. That does not mean I agree with how they care take it. But alas I find my self in a new form.. I call my self a Christian Atheist.. lets just say it's complicated
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?
Moderate
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I say moderate only because my radical ideas are on both sides of the isle and think they balance out. I don't care for cops all that much. But i must say my experiences with this new generation of cops. These Millennial's are changing my opinion fast. That being said my opinion about a new jail is less then popular here in Spokane. I want a new one and a much much bigger one. People tend to go "Whhhhaaaaat?" To this. Right now in Seattle and Spokane there is a humanitarian crisis both sides seem to want to ignore! Human beings right now in our state jails our being subjected to torture and cruel and unusual punishment! As you Read this 1000's of Washingtonians are being abused and mistreated and I'll stand for none of it! Further how can WE expect our police officers to do there job if there unable to enforce all the laws fairly. Folks by not building bigger more compassionate jails Were handcuffing our officer's. Dumb & dumber yet
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I lead thats what I do. I find a way to win always because if you never quite trying your never defeated so i win even in my failures. I'm the James T Kirk of life. I'm the Davey Crockett of of Social culture. I've been The prince I've been the Pauper. Thomas Pains "Common Sense is at my Bedside" I have an IQ of over 135 and i hate mu-maths. A poem! "I once had a place, of high stature and Grace. But I felt nothing for it all, I let it crumble and fall. I've lost All that I've known, and know well what I've lost. I had more then any one could own, paid for with my own flesh and bone. I once Brought people Laughter, now they think of me as a Disaster, take me as a reminder of things less kinder." I wrote that 2 years after hitting a tree at 110 miles an hour. over 25 years now I've been Paraplegic. Mines the road less traveled, I've Been practicing for this I've been training for this "So hold my Beer! I got this!"
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
Felonies Yes many a time but let me be Frank! Ive never infringed on the innocence of a child nor have I been insensitive or predatorial with women I consider the act of sex sacred I'm a Respectable crook .Thats why I've tried to stay out of politics .. But History calls .. and i must at least take part in my states Civic's It is the American thing to do! I'm a rebel not a traitor. Henry David Thoreau wrote "Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
A LETTER I wrote to Dr. Jordan B Peterson: "I've been trying to find something that means more then the drugs. Per My Dr.'s advice But being a 45 years old atheist with, no kids no wife, toxic family i no longer speak with and suffering from what I'm classifying as a "Borderline Borderline Personality Disorder" and falling from a high mountain top of a self-made business owner to a homeless strung out Paraplegic living on the streets for 2 years. finding meaning to not only stop my recurring relapse of drug use, But meaning enough to overcome the malevolence this world and myself has inflicted on my very being was no small task. "Not obvious!" Long story I'm actually a candidate for the Governor of Washington State and I wake up Excited about my day and go to bed exhausted, To wake up ready to go again. Thanks Doc You told me to aim high to find meaning and I know now for the First time I've got faith that this life is worth the suffering and our way of life is worth fighting for."
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
I support the use of Sharia law as a basis for legislation and judicial decisions in the United States.
Strongly Disagree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Public Safety isn't a matter of gun control or even government it's mater of society and values and belief's. The left claims to want to protect marginalized groups from haters.. AS if they themselves hold no hate in their heart. We can no longer be a government of Do as i say not as i do. You can not condemn hate and violence when you your self posses both hate and Violence.. to do so is just condemning ones self, instead of improving ones self .
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Strongly Agree
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?
A state wide multi-tier State Property Tax that starts on homes and property's worth more then $135,000 at .03 percent of the property Value that doubles every $80,000 dollars with built in guarantees that these tax's will not be passed on to renters. Seattle has the richest population but pays the lowest property taxes and seems to have the most public problems. Seattle wants to make one rich man pay, Jeff Bezos I say thats not fair. You want to play Monopoly and own 3 houses with 20 rooms .. you go for it. Pardon me if I make sure the less fortunate is rewarded too in such games. The left talks about taxiing the rich but offers a income tax that taxes the workers. I'm having none of that! period. Second, A Washington Guard ergo a State Military for our young adults and mid adults who might have lost there way an need to find some discipline and meaning in there life, and for other adults who want to serve but not in these awful wars. Third Washington State Space Agency
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is a dish being served to much by to many politicians and to many media outlets for purposes less then altruistic. Racism at it's least harmful state is ignorance of other races in knowledge and experience. In it's worst most dangerous state a philosophy that is indoctrinated from birth. I say many a media outlet and many a politician is running around screaming "the sky is falling the sky is falling" about racism. Some out of ignorance some out of personal gain. But all I see is our leaders indoctrinating our children to see the world in the worst possible way ... and that bothers me!
