QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

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

Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Disagree
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Through trust and transparency. I believe that within states the economic stature should be like that of the echo system. What goes out as labor should come back as economic growth in the community. This philosophy alone should generate positive changes.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Inside trading. Political figures capitalizing on deals made in which the profits thereof originally as stated by government laws were to go back to the people. Now going into the hands of the political figures. Have a more detailed analysis of government funds and the spending thereof. I do believe in a certain degree of discernment not for the means of cheating the people.
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
Undo financial duress on young students is a problem. Tax payers need to be aware of institutions that are over charging our youth. Using healthcare as a justifiable reason is not okay. Does the cost of the education justify the cost? Why can other areas of education justify the cost at a much lower rate? Ponder the reality of sin.
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.

NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
I worry about the threat of our religious freedom and our police force. We need protection under the amendment of religious freedom that a religion can not come in and undermine the freedoms of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness of our people by manipulation and malicious undermining intent creating a religion of dominance and control as in a cult.

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.
I believe in a work ethic. I do not believe that we should be creating new housing for people they need a work project in which they need to pay for the materials and be a part of construction. Remodeling of an old home etc... I do not think a tax burden creating elitism is okay. All people need to know this country was not created by hand outs. It was made by hard work and a vision. As for college no one deserves it for free. If one has to pay all should pay. Foreign policy we have been a part in creating the foreign policy mess we are in. All the secret deals. I do believe we need to restructure the basic needs of today are held captive by insurance and healthcare. I believe 100% in small business. I also understand the corporations have helped keep our society from despair. When it comes to basic needs these corporations are essential to America. When it comes to pyramid schemes with in corporate structures I am outraged.
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 believe in forgiveness. Politically, I believe in finding a way to present a future that is realistic and attainable for those who are willing to work for it. If your dream is realistic it should be attainable. I have lived my life setting my vision on a goal and working diligently to accomplish that goal. My goals have never been to hurt or take from others.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is not the threat. Power and dominance are the threat. Radicals with private agendas. The nature of sin. Teens that do not understand the consequences, their lack of personal discipline. People can easily be mislead by hormonal imbalanced ideals in decision making.
