RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
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
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?
Only in the rarest case when the mother's life in jeopardy should abortion be allowed. Look up "Walter Fretz". He was born at 19 months and survived for 1 hour. He is not a clump of cells or a blob of tissue. He is a person. A fellow human being. A precious creation. Since 1973, more than 60 million babies like Walter have been surgically and medically killed (20 million of them African American). Planned Parenthood cuts these babies into pieces and sells their organs and blood, in some cases with the heart still beating. Sick and wrong. President Trump is the only president ever to speak at a March for Life Rally. He is committed to the sanctity of life for the unborn. He has ended public funding of abortions as well as research at HHS using organs from aborted babies. I support Trump 100%. Elect me, Tim Uy, and I will back him up from the House.

How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
As of 2020, Social Security's unfunded obligations are at $16.8 trillion between 2035 and 2094. The benefits cannot be guaranteed. But we can take steps to reform and restructure the system. The most important action is to ensure a robust, strong, and world-competitive economy. Under President Trump, unemployment in January this year was at a 50-year low in all categories, women, blacks, Latinos, all Americans. Second, we must be aggressive at removing inefficiencies, combating fraud, and leveraging technology to scale back administration of the program while improving response.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
The Government Accountability Office reported 10 percent of Medicaid payments were found to have been improper in 2016 alone, $36 billion. Government spending on fraudulent individuals should be investigated and eliminated immediately.
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
(1) Permanently disabled and (2) faithful payment Trump signed (1) into law in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In 2020, Trump proposes to increase monthly payments from 10% to 12.5% of discretionary income. Undergraduates would be eligible for loan forgiveness after 15 years vs. 20-25 of current IDR plans. The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program should be eliminated as it gives unfair preferential treatment to public service workers.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am not a 20-year career politician, but a fellow American who will bring a fresh voice to Congress. I propose that congressmen should have a self-imposed limit of three terms without pension, and no perks; your congressman should be focused on service over self-interest.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is a threat to domestic security because it is unjust. Equal treatment is important under the law. Race should be removed as a criterion for any government position, grant, or contract. Private universities that use race in admission or filling faculty positions should not receive public funds. "Out of one blood, all nations." One race, the human race.
