OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Im 0% tolerance on any abortion issues
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Abortion should be treated such as any other criminal murder charges and passed as a law!
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
No man is GOD!
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Tax accordingly per individual or family income! Example: If a hard working individual makes $200K per year, why tax this person at a higher income bracket!
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Foreign aid is costing the American tax payer to much money! Ukraine 20 million, $80 billion in US military equipment left in Afghanistan, US tax dollars spending 4.2 percent of GDP to NATO while other countries spend 1.2 GDP! To much spending but the IRS will fine a taxpayer alot of money for being late on his taxes? Charity begins in the home (USA)!
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Agree
Undocumented foreign nationals children are receiving "free" taxpayer-funded public education, why not support a bill to send naturalized American born citizens to college.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
We have Democracy and freedom of choice in the USA!
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Until they change the Bill of Rights! No circumstances!
HEALTHCARE
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.
The way our country is now with open boarders, woke society of thinking from some, we are not in no position to even entertain the idealism of free healthcare. We are now in a recession and taxpayers are already feeling the bite of our economy.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
No circumstances! Our 10th Amendment clearly states the right of the people and states! We are not a Communist or Socialist country!
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Start vetting the individuals that come to our country from Islamic countries. Start removing the radical Islamics here in the USA, no matter what position they hold in US Congress (hint hint!)
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.
Neutral
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Most foreign countries I have visited their borders are secured with their military. The USA need an upgrade, the current wall and the Biden Administration is just not cutting the mustard!
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
The people who follows our USCIS Immigration Policy and come here the legal way! I can understand Refugees, but at least vet them!
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Agree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
If an animal knows the difference, then a man or woman should! This gender identity is another tool to weaken our society and destroy Christianity. Its a reason the left want to introduce this sickness in our school system!
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition
Strongly Agree
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 man of God. Im not perfect, I make mistakes because Im human. I pray every day and have my beliefs. I was raised with strong Christian values and tradition. I honestly believe when God and praying was taken our school system society started declining over time. We are a spiritual war now, but we are in the living. We will overcome!
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Need a license to buy alcohol, a drivers license, and important tasks in life!
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Voter ID Law. Have two forms of ID to vote. Must be US citizen. Stricter fraudulent voting penalties. Make it a Federal offense.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
NO! Racism will be here until the end of days. To me in theory, racism is one's particular idealism. Racism is more of a mental lacking then a threat.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
To get over the past, concentrate on the future. I strongly agree that slavery was disgusting act on a race of people! But to pay back reparation's is living this out all over again.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
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) We need Americans working! No green deal here!
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
WE (USA) need to be self sufficient!
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To protect (foreign and domestic) and serve its people. Its a reason why the Bill Of rights and the US Constitution was established. Present day now, this Administration is opposite!
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?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
Cleveland.com Just Google Landry Simmons Jr and many interviews, radio shows, and media.
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?
Strong Christian traditional legislative priorities to make our country great again!
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Agree
As a Deputy Sheriff for over 25 years, these left wing politicians need to take politics out of policing! Its a reason why Law Enforcement has Departmental policies not to be interfered with civilians who has no idea what law Enforcement Officers go through on a daily basis.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Agree
Police departments are not a cheap entity for a City, township, or village. Police equipment, salary, insurance, vehicles, training, fuel costs and other mandatory expenses. In all honesty, FUND the POLICE
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Convicted murderers with gun specs
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
The defendant (accused) puled the trigger not the firearms dealer or manufacture
