QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

The legal and regulatory status of abortion is an example of how U.S. Federal government’s deliberate and malicious use of raw will and force has led to extreme political polarization in our society and allowed fringe issues and radical policies to define civil society in America. I have introduced two laws that address the use of raw will and force, which is unconstitutional conduct by the US federal government, against American natural rights and civil rights.

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Strongly Disagree

The same issues that apply to abortion also apply to legalization of suicide and euthanasia.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

This collision between individuals, church and state, criminal code and morals, has been adversely affected by Roe vs. Wade for half of a century. 60% of Americans now believe abortion should be allowed in all or most cases and only 37% believe it should be illegal in all or most cases. The answer to this question must wait for the nation to heal from the adversity Roe vs. Wade brought into society.


ECONOMY

Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.

Strongly Disagree

The greatest threat to our liberty and freedom is the printing of money to avoid taxation and use of printed money to manipulate interest rates to keep them below the actual inflation rate giving American savers negative interest rates in US dollars. This ruined the risk-free rate and capital pricing and is the greatest problem with the allocation of capital and distribution of wealth and income. False inflation rate distorts the real gross national product net of inflation and interest rates.

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.

Strongly Agree

There's no basis in the Constitution or any legitimate economic theory to justify permanent budget deficits and funding of this permanent budget deficit with printed money while using this printed money to distort interest rate, and all decision making in investments by interfering in the pricing of risk. We created America and designed our government to limit government power. Our survival as a self-governed people depends on reducing government expenditure, budget deficit and government debt.

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

Ending the policy of using printed money to cover budget deficits to avoid revealing to Americans their real taxation rate is the first step in correcting tax policy.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Strongly Agree

I always say, “Ask not to take out religion out of government but to take government out of religion.” Without religion there is no basis to decide right or wrong in government conduct, everything is relative, no standards exist. From the story of Adam and Eve until the resurrection of Jesus Christ has taught man what is right and what is wrong what is good and what is bad what is moral and immoral what is virtuous and what is sinful.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

I am the movant of the nation’s first consideration at the US Judicial Conference seeking to protect American God given natural rights.

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?

The use of government raw will and force against Americans is a violation of the separation of church and state to impose fringe America. The radical Left is indoctrinating our children to believe that America was founded in 1619 to protect slavery and not in 1776 to protect God-given natural rights, individual liberty, and freedom from government; that the Founding Fathers were white supremacist; that women have a constitutional right to kill babies on demand; that sex is a social construct and not biological; that borders are racist; that guns not evil people commit murder; that everything is relative; that there are no definitive rights or wrongs; that there is no God; and that religious worship is an expression of superstition. The worst thing the Left is instructing our children is that government is all-knowing and good; that even unlimited government systems, like socialism, Marxism, and communism, are benevolent; and that free enterprise and capitalism are malicious. A generation of children has grown up believing that government has the right to lie to us about the real inflation rate, to use this lie to print money to manipulate our GNP up and the money Americans earn on their US dollar bank deposits down, and to avoid telling Americans the truth about the budget and trade deficits and how and how much the federal government is taxing them.


HEALTHCARE

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

COVID ‘shut down’ policies harmed the American people’s opinion on mandated vaccination. In 2021 Americans favored vaccination proof to be able to travel by airplane, to stay in a hotel, to attend events with large crowds, to dine in a restaurant and go to their office or work site. This is a serious policy and science problem. COVID occurred. It existed and is still with us. My view is that the COVID worldwide ‘shut down’ was the largest government assault on reason in modern history, if not the history of mankind.

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.

C.) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available but Pharmacy Benefits Managers must be firmly held accountable, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. Rebates, payments rules and pricing, and relationships between pharmacies, insurers, and manufacturers all must be regulated based on real margin analysis not fabricated rules that institutionalize fraudulent pricing schemes. Intervention by government in our health care system has made it far worse and not any better. The idea that there exists in the constitutional right to public free health care is a Marxist, socialist, and communist notion and goes against the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence, and can only be fabricated through violations of the Bill of Rights.


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.

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.

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

Israel is America's greatest ally. Americans believe that America is either a Blessed land or the Promised Land for God's people. Biblical Judeo-Christian beliefs guided the Founding Fathers in their creation of American government.

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

We will never know the truth about COVID. It is undeniable that the flow of capital, profits, and knowledge and technology out of the United States and into China has polluted our nation’s ideas about what is acceptable trade policy, reduced American power and independence. Our financial position in having a permanent trade deficit and funded with printed money taints our policy towards China.

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

The violence and cultivated hate of Islamic terrorism that flourishes with oil wealth must be confronted and combated at its origins with the full force of American power.


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

In 2020 while the nation was going through the presidential campaign the federal judges issued 50 injunctions against the Office of the American President’s executive authority to manage the nation's borders under immigration laws in good standing.

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

I agree with that State and federal funds must be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Open borders is a Marxist scheme based on the beliefs that America is racist and that borders are racist. Immigrants must not receive government services and welfare; they must be independent and must understand American civics and government and come to America to improve their independence and liberty, and personal freedom. Leftist notions have become normalized in immigration policies. In the mid-1990s only 10% of Americans wanted more immigration and two-thirds wanted less. In 2021 29% of Americans want more, 38% want to maintain current levels, and 33% want less.


VALUES

Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Strongly Disagree

Radical sexualization of our society has reached the point of government interfering when a child reports to school officials that they feel they were born in the wrong body. The idea of administrating drugs to a child so the child will not reach puberty and that child could make its own decision about its sex is criminal. The idea that a man can compete with a woman simply because they say they are a woman in college athletics must be ended.

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Disagree

Calling America racist, fabricating the notion of white supremacy, the creation of project 1619 to claim America was founded on slavery, that liberty and freedom, limited government and the philosophy of the two Continental Congress, constitutional convention, Declaration of Independence, American Revolution, Constitution, Federalist Papers and Bill of Rights, all stem from the racist and Marxist ideology that underlies CRT. This must be severely regulated and exposed as what it is.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

God is essential in a civil free society based on limited government. There is nothing more important than the relationship between man and God. The feeling that there is a force of good that we could come in contact with and work to better ourselves and better the world as individual in a self-governed society must be protected from government takeover. The notion that government is benevolent is the opposite of ideology and law of our Declaration of Independence and Constitutional government, which was designed to keep government out of the church, out of the family and out of prayer so that the people can be free to enjoy their natural rights that cannot be governed no matter what process government provides.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

Under no circumstances can a citizen vote without identification. Regulation of states that allow it must be harsh and severe aimed to stop it.

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

Civics should be a hard science in America. There should be no doubt that the American government was created to limit the size of government and the jurisdiction of government in order to protect natural rights. The federal courts failed miserably to deal with the allegations of fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Former Vice president Pence should not have ratified unilaterally and arbitrarily the judicial decisions about the facts, factors, and circumstances of the Irregularities of the 2020 presidential election which were never looked at by any jury. Far more important is for Congress to have looked at the 50 junction issues throughout President Trump’s term that affected the outcome of the election. The constitutionality of each of those should have been reviewed by Congress as it was in 1877 with a committee of five federal judges, five members of the House of Representatives and five senators. For the sake of our constitutional democratic Republic this must still be done and the certification by Pence must be set aside.


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree

No. the idea of such a thing is illegal absurdity and a political piece of nonsense that has its roots in anti-American and anti-democracy and the rule of law and the idea of private property private privileges and independence.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

The idea that America is a racist nation and that our government was formed to protect slavery not liberty is racism and is a threat to domestic security in the United States. These notions are what are racist and are creating reverse racism against white people, and the absurdity of white supremacy. Destroy the truth about western civilization and the origins of Political philosophy, scientific thought and democracy in England, Rome and Greece among the Hebrews is an awful thing being done to mankind’s individuality, independence, liberty, freedom and truth.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

Strongly Agree

I do. I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources. The government has used the war against fossil fuels as a sword against knowledge and freedom not a shield to protect the 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) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy.


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?

Very Conservative

I’m the Pioneer of Activist Short Selling on Wall Street, Founder of the Institute of Judicial Conduct, and the movant of the nation’s first consideration at the US Judicial Conference seeking to protect American God given natural rights including father’s parental rights, rights of unborn babies, and the America people’s Office of the American Presidency’s executive power. The law should be faithfully executed in accordance to the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights.

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

My “evidence based” professional experience as the Pioneer of Activist Short Selling and founder of the Institution of Judicial Conduct is the foundation of my anti-establishment legislation. Here is a compilation of my historical press profiles: https://www.asensio4congress.com/_files/ugd/1be796_f4bd7574773e430a89cae0e3aa2dd7d4.pdf My evidence based short selling career is why I named my campaign “Smoking Gun.” https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2021/11/19/2338460/0/en/Manuel-P-Asensio-Announces-His-Smoking-Gun-Campaign-for-the-Republican-Nomination-in-Florida-s-3rd-Congressional-District.html The Missy Hyatt Interview has 43 segments on YouTube.

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?

I graduated from Saint Francis de Chantelle and attended Bishop Ford high school in Brooklyn NY. I graduated from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. I have a Masters of Business Administration from Harvard University's Graduate School of Business. I experienced the communist takeovers in Cuba and Venezuela and sad to say I saw it happen in New York State. I pioneered the use of the power of the Internet to expose fraud on Wall Street successfully. After being called the Demolition man and Attila the Hun I was recognized as the pioneer of activist short selling. These experiences together let me to understand the underpinnings of the corruption of our constitution by the US federal government and the corruption of the federalist doctrine not to protect state rights but to give states the rights to take individual liberty and freedom and due process protection from individuals. I have built a record as a bonafide legitimate fighter for freedom and liberty and religious rights and parental rights. I am not a politician. I have written two laws that come from my experience in forming the Institute of Judicial Conduct and the experiences I had in family court with the custody of my own daughter. I am a Cuban refugee who left Cuba on May 15th 1961 two weeks after the Bay of Pigs. In my first year in America I saw the Cuban missile crisis. As you see below, my religious education began at an early age. My parochial school and church were the center of our community. The celebrations of baptism, Holy Communion and confirmation were central to the coming of age. My laws define my purpose for running for Congress. These are laws that deal with the central issues that have brought communist, socialist and Marxist ideologies into the center of our schools, universities and federal government. I have never been convicted of a felony or been accused or penalized for sexual misconduct.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Agree

The idea of socialist and Marxist organizations funding campaigns to take over large city and county prosecutors who do not enforce the law based on race, financial circumstances or education must be addressed as violations of the constitution by the states. Psychologist and therapists cannot protect society from bad people wanting to do bad things to good people and private property. Law and order must be protected.

I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.

Disagree

Guns and nuclear weapons in the hands of evil bad people are dangerous. You can't keep guns away from bad people. The ideology, the foundation, the philosophical underpinnings of the 2nd amendment exist to allow the people to protect themselves against their government. Any conversation about regulating the legal status of guns has to begin and end with the idea that government is a danger to the freedom of man, that government will always have a tendency to become totalitarian.


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

The first and guiding principle on any discussion of the legal and regulatory status of the 2nd amendment must be the individual freedom and liberty, and above all the protection of the Declaration of Independence’s and Constitution’s guarantee from government.

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Disagree

No. This expansion of rights by anti-2nd amendment plaintiff lawyers, who are motivated by money (indirectly if they work for causes) and act as if they were motivated, is clearly unconstitutional and a violation of the 2nd amendment.
