OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
No Answer
iVoterGuide Notes:
Candidate submitted additional information after deadline: Pro Life yes legal protections. But there are certain life threatening situations for the mother or child that have to be put into the equation also. With violent crimes like rape or when disabilities are part of the equation, maybe any time before the heart develops which is at 6 weeks there should be a serious conversation. We must have reasonable solutions for both sides to agree with.

How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
It's hard enough to guarantee Social Security for todays retirees because the money paid into the program decades ago has already been spent on other social programs. It's always going to be a debt issue.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Planned Parenthood for one! Growing the economy and exporting goods and services so taxes levied can reduce our debt is the answer not cutting government spending. Getting the other countries to pay their 2% GDP for our military services.

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
I don't believe this is achievable because you're assuming healthcare is one size fits all and it isn't that simple. What may be adequate, affordable and accessible for some will never be for the less fortunate in society.

EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
iVoterGuide Notes:
Candidate submitted additional information after deadline: Education. I do think there are plenty of grants for people to get financial support and other programs like serving in the military should grant people a much reduced tuition or free tuition. Also, the universities seem to take tax money themselves and then charge high prices for tuition which limits who can apply.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I can't describe the creator no one can, but I can describe creation. All life matters and to witness the miracle of life is very spiritual. Knowing that all of the millions of various life forms of fauna and flora on earth all having their own individual purpose and ability to procreate is truly a miracle.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
We have to restore our constitutional republic and return honor, integrity and respect back to the hallowed halls of congress for "we the people". We need to implement the equation, The Rule of Law + The Rule of Prosecution = Peace and Harmony for all Americans. The DOJ has to start prosecuting the corrupt politicians so the people can begin to believe there is one justice system for all. We will not allow a mandatory vaccination program. People like Bill Gates, Fauci and many others have seditiously pushed cv19 to put so much fear in America and around the World in unprecedented fashion as to have a negative effect in Trumps reelection.

In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?
12 year maximum term limit for the house and senate. Allow farmers to grow Hemp in all fifty states to develop the Trillion Dollar Worldwide market. This will create millions of jobs here in agriculture, manufacturing, distribution, wholesale, retail and revenue from exports. Take Cannabis out of schedule one of the controlled substances act. Safe, effective, non addictive and impossible to overdose medicine should be available for anyone who chooses to use the only safe alternative. This will reduce the number of potential accidental overdoses from opioids by as many people who choose to use Cannabis. America is 5% of the worlds population and we shouldn't be using 95% of the worlds opioids.
iVoterGuide Notes:
Candidate submitted additional information after the deadline: Third Priority. Prosecute White Collar Crimes and Corrupt Politicians.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Only when the media pushes false narratives to the citizens which provokes the dialog that America is racist. That's when terrorist organizations like Antifa and BLM paid for by George Soros, the DNC and others will become destructive to our cities and towns we all have been witnessing since the 2016 ongoing coup trying to take down a duly elected Administration through "Sedition".
