OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
It is not my say because i can never be pregnant.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Neutral
people should have a medical guaranty, from the government would support any medical treatment that is thought to be necessary. survive necessities very from person to person, no one is the same. but we can heal each other as a whole.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Agree
When pain becomes incurable, we should be able to let a person go.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
When need to find the real cost of supporting ourselves. If we can find ways to fill the needs, the rest will pay for itself. Safe and Balanced people are the most productive, and we can all find purpose.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
i would privatize public transport, with in state companies that are able to produce a trolly gondola hybrid. using tracks along bus line people would be able to an on demand ride.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Agree
i believe that if we want to be better, we should find ways to educate ourselves. i also see a way to have unions pay for the educations needed for their workforce. Investments in "us" is needed.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Agree
Ii wish that people didn't feel the need to shun, but it is something anyone should be able to do. Shunning is a weakness.
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
When laws are broken.
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.
Four tier medical system. the minimum cost would be covered by private insurance. the recommended cost would be covered by the government. the preferred recommended cost would be covered by person or insurance, if covered by insurance the insurance would reimburse the government for recommended cost. the fixing other stuff cost again person or insurance if the person does not have any insurance, then the government covers the min cost.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None really, but that depends on the virus. I would hope that people have enough information to understand what the infection effects really are, and are able to make the decision themselves. If we can find ways for people to trust each other again we will fix all this.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
terrorism is solved with peace
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
i believe there is too much fear.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Neutral
i believe we can privatize migrant employment, to let anyone come and safely live and work from anywhere to anywhere. if we take away the profit from smuggling, boarders will become more secure.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
we are all earthlings.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Neutral
education grants should be paid to the student then the student chooses how to spend the money.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Disagree
Which values? Religion has lost its source and has been driven into fear.
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Neutral
people are going to be people, stop judging them when they have done nothing wrong. a person's honesty and drive should be shat shines in our eyes.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition
Disagree
Marriage of faith and law are two different things and should be treated as such.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Neutral
That is not what it is about. its about being understanding of ourselves and our past. We are all just globs of meat, we need to get over ourselves and find a better calling then hate.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
my faith is that there was something here before my and there will be something after me. i just want the ride to be peaceful and loving as possible. i work to bring that to others
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Neutral
if a person pays taxes they should be allowed to vote. voting will become more streamlined and people voices will be heard better.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
I will work to stop the use of P.O. Boxes to register as a voter, and run for election, for non-residents of a district. Yes many candidates do not live in the district the want to represent.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Being racist is a lack of understanding. Racism breeds hate, hate breeds violence.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Neutral
we are smart enough that we should be able to find ways to fill everyone's needs. that should be the first goal.
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.
Microwave drills to harness geo-thermal energy will solve the need to damage ourselves. we will still have costs but we will be able to limit them and build a better society
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Disagree
Energy is coming, if we can just learn to use it without killing ourselves.
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
to ensure the safety of the people.

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, i do have many money problems, but i live a nice and entertaining life, with no yearning other than peace.
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
Please understand we are all mistakes, and we can only fix what we can.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Disagree
we need to change our police force to an organization of specialized teams. we ask too much of one officer. we can find ways to have peaceful neighborhoods again. when a person makes a mistake, they should be given a chance to explain that mistake. if that mistake has malice, then the person should need to repent. if the repentance cannot be found in the person, then they need to be given time to find it. we can find peoples sense of honor; we just need to show them it's possible.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Neutral
that depends on the numbers. that question is to open ended.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
i believe anyone should be allowed to carry a weapon of defense. that weapon should be openly displayed. only cowards hide weapons.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Neutral
i support profit caps, and insurance. if a person makes money off and addictive or harmful product the amount, they make per year should be limited.
