OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
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?
rape, incest, or 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?
Re-elect Trump and create revenue through massive employment...
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
This is too complex to answer...
Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?
Student loan consolidation at prime during as part of the mortgage process when buying or refinancing a house.
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?
Our Founders understood that when organized religions have complete control or influence over the government bad things happen. We saw this with the English Protestants and Irish Catholics. We saw this with the San Patricios during the Mexican American war. We saw this with Sunni Muslim control during Saddam Hussein Iraq. Religion occupies the spiritual and moral realm. Government occupies the rule of law realm. Our government must ensure freedom of religion and our 1st Amendment rights. A government dominated by one religion has a tendency to squash religious freedom. Just ask the Saudis.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Neutral
I support the elimination of private healthcare insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
That is a very hard question... Obamacare has tripled healthcare policy costs while others get it for free. The Republican house and senate could have canceled Obamacare in 2016. They chose not to. I dont know how to answer this question...
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?
Intelligence, Long Range Stealth Bomber program, precision guided weaponry.
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.
Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
People who come to this country must have needed skills and money in the bank. Too many immigrants come here with zero employable skill sets and then file for welfare. 70% of illegal immigrants will be on life long welfare benefits with standards of living higher than an American worker. We need educated immigrants that are employable and can pay into the sociel net.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
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.
Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Non practicing Catholic
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 served in the Air Force and Air Force Reserves from 1978 to 2006. USAF aircrew members are traditionally conservative. As a former USAF aviator, I have been to hundreds of international cities. I have been to former communist countries, Arab/Islamic countries, socialist countries, and countries in Asia and South America, along with the Common wealth nations. I have been to countries run by dictatorships, and states or countries run by liberal idiot socialists. I have also been to almost every single US military base on the planet. By observation, I am fairly certain that the USA has the greatest opportunities in the world. I fully support legal immigration. It is up to Americans to always fight for liberty, capitalism, and the rule of law. The Founders gave us this great nation and form of government and it is up to us to keep it.
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 served in the military and the retired military from 1978 to 2020. I have flown around the world 25 times. I flew 24 combat sorties hauling wounded out of Iraq. My lineage were among the Founders. I am pro-life, pro 2nd amendment, pro electoral college. I am also a very successful businessman that hasn't worked for someone else since 1993.I have been active in the private sector as an entrepreneur for close to 30 years. Unlike another person, I have not been out of the work force for 18 years. Over the last 18 years, I fought a war, got over military related stress issues, and employed people. I am self made and think for myself. I have the depth, world knowledge, and experience to represent you intelligently.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
possibly mandatory gun safes when there are young children in the house
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state.
Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
No Answer
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
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?
Ability for graduates with student loan debt to role the balance into a mortgage during the buying or refinancing of a home. The balance would be portable with the interest at prime zero. Sanctity of natural child development law that outlaws gender dysphoria indoctrination in our school systems. Conversion therapy has been outlawed in most states. Gender confusion indoctrination is a form of LGBT conversion therapy and should also be outlawed. Federal backed solar system financing as part of buying or refinancing a home.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
The Democrats and liberal yellow press have been cultivating racial division, societal commiseration, and hatred for along time now.
