The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Developing a simpler tax system using a broad tax base with rates that are the same across different income sources or types of expenditures.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
I disagree with the separation of church and state since America was founded on Christian principles. Christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship with Jesus Christ. In any event, there should be no separation between faith and State.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Under NO circumstances whatsoever.
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
B.
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
B.
I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.
Strongly Disagree
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Finish the wall. I would also propose that all immigrants to the U.S. be required to sign a document stating that if they are found to engage in any treasonous activities against our country that they agree to be immediately deported.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Especially finish the wall.
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone can immigrate to the United States as long as they do so legally. They should also be required to sign a document which states that if they are found to engage in any treasonous activities against our country that they will be immediately deported.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Choose not to answer
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian who believes in the Bible and I try to live my life according to it. I believe that the more a person tries to do God's will as stated in the Bible that the more He blesses you.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
A photo I.D. should be required to vote and a person's signature should match it.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Disagree
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
I don't believe racism is a threat. However, hate groups that promote violent action are a threat.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Disagree
Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.
A.
ABOUT YOU
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
I wrote a quarterly newsletter for 16 years called "A.H.A! News & Views" while my non-profit organization was operating from 2003-2020. I have also helped people file federal lawsuits which appear on line.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
No.
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
Mainly that I serve God not money, and I can't be bought. I am hoping to propose a plan to overhaul the legal system, ban Agenda 21/30, help people get out of debt after Covid, implement ZTOA - "Zero Tolerance on Arrogance" in government, remove innocent people from the terrorist watch list (which was a campaign promise by President Trump in 2016), and get my father the Medal of Honor he deserves which is 57 years past due.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Choose not to answer
It depends on the departmental policy.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Disagree
I think funds should be taken from consolidating the number of National Security Agencies we have from 16 down to about 4.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I think Congress is currently working on that bill. I strongly support the Second Amendment and all amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
