OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Agree
Abortion is not supported by the masses; therefore, it is unbecoming of the government to spend the taxpayers' dollars on an issue they are not all are for.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Neutral
I would need credible information from medical professionals and those who have experienced this difficult decision before making any further comment.
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
If medical exams have discovered that the baby most likely will not survive birth and/or die shortly thereafter.
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Choose not to answer
This is a nebulous question that cannot be answered unless specifically defining what role the government would have in the redistribution. Yes, it would be a great thing to close the gap but the how is just as important as the why.
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?
Decrease the tax on capital gains and eliminate taxes on those that fall within 5% of the poverty line. We need to help those who want the American dream and not punish those who got there.
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.
Agree
Agreed, as it's a slippery slope that can lead down a dark path for our country to allow for discrimination.
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
The State should never be allowed to interfere with peaceful churches and religious activities. Only if a church begins to break the law should the State be able to intervene.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Government and school, never as you cannot control those factors in your life. Employers should have the right, as nobody is forcing anyone to work at a specific company.
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) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options.
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) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny.
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.
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?
Secure our borders and keep a close watch on terrorist States across the globe that both harbor terrorist while pursuing nuclear weapons.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
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.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone looking for a better life, as long as they follow the naturalization process.
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Disagree
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am Christian. My life is nothing without Jesus Christ who is the cornerstone of anything and everything.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
If they lost their photo I.D., they would need to provide SS Card and Birth Certificate along with a utility bill showing their current address. In addition, they would be required to sign an affidavit that would ensure if they lied, they will be charged with a federal crime. If we lose anymore integrity in our election system, our Democracy will fail
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Must have photo I.D. and. or the requirements I listed. If they lost their photo I.D., they would need to provide SS Card and Birth Certificate along with a utility bill showing their current address. In addition, they would be required to sign an affidavit that would ensure if they lied, they will be charged with a federal crime. If we lose anymore integrity in our election system, our Democracy will fail
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Disagree
Impossible to track. My family is bi-racial, and we live in a society where bi-racial families are no longer a major exception. My hope is that one day it becomes the norm to the point where we can no longer easily distinguish race.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
It is always a threat.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
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?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
https://americasvoice.news/video/1xxqgIPhYQKIywy/
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?
FAITH The truth long spoken by our forefathers “One nation under God” cannot be devalued or underestimated in the importance of creating and sustaining the United States of America. Without faith in God, we cannot have faith in our leaders and therefore cannot be united. I will NEVER stop fighting the good fight to keep God at the top of our priorities in this great nation. God is the cornerstone in all things and at all times. FREEDOM As Ronald Reagan once said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” Ladies and Gentlemen, we are nearing that tipping point. “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” fuels the American Dream. We are losing these freedoms little by little……..day by day, year by year. I passionately believe, this is in part to the radical, and socialist beliefs of left and the control over our government by “Career Politicians” in both the House and Senate. I have pledged to support US term limits for both and will fight to ensure it happens. Furthermore, I vow to always support and uphold the United States Constitution in all decisions I make to deter the infringement upon our freedoms. FACTS We must hold firm in facts over fear. That means holding the Government accountable to deliver the facts to the people. Today, the Government manipulates the people through the media. Conversely, the media manipulates the people through the Government. We must have leaders that call out news that is not factual. Considering the constant media storm and information overload, we must be given the facts. I will call out anyone at any time who does not uphold this oath. Key Issues What I will fight for... U.S. TERM LIMITS AMENDMENTS In Michael’s first 100 days in office, he will publicly list all member of Congress currently serving over three years. He will demand an on the record statement for why they do not support term limits, when over 82% of registered voters agree with term limits. Michael will stand shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. Term Limits (USTL) organization and other members of Congress until an Amendment is passed. SECURE OUR BORDERS – PREVENT TERRORISTS & DRUG TRAFFICKERS FROM ENTRY Michael will call for immediate transparency of the current United States border policy. He will demand a plan from the Biden Administration on how they plan to curtail future terrorist attacks, drug cartel related crimes, and the American drug epidemic – all stemming from illegal border crossings. If they don’t answer, PUT A STOP TO INFLATION – QUICKLY ROLLBACK THE FAR LEFT’S POLICIES Corbin will expose those in Congress who promote and support ill-fated government spending on entitlement programs. Furthermore, he will do the same on the erroneous, aggressive, and careless green initiatives that make our country energy dependent on others, including our enemies. PARENT VOICES BACK IN EDUCATION – END PUBLIC SCHOOLS AS POLITICAL POKER CHIPS As a father, Michael will not stand for silencing parent’s voices in the Public School System. He will support states that allow open and free speech at school board meetings, condemn those that do not, and prevent federal government involvement from stymying a parent’s opinion. ENERGY INDEPENDENCE Energy independence is vital to the sovereignty of a world power, such as The United States of America. To harness the power and ability to produce and supply our own oil, yet consciously import from our allies and enemies is selfish, reckless, hypocritical and dangerous to our country. We the people of The United Stated of America, will not be held hostage by our government and their ill-fated energy policies that produce energy dependence on foreign entities. The current energy policy, which promotes importing more oil than we consume or export, is a clear and present danger to the national security of our country.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Agree
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None, the second amendment is as written. "Shall not be infringed upon"
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Choose not to answer
If the dealer or manufacturer broke the law yes. If not, no.
