OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Abortion should not be allowed, and we need to start valuing the whole person from conception to natural death as a government. No more tricks, gimmicks, or denial by our elected representatives of when life begins.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
The government has to get out of this and many other areas - shame on us for letting this go on for all this time.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
This is awful... and just evil.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Oh boy.... I think the 9/9/9 plan from the late Herman Cain made sense although I don't recall the details... We can't out spend / tax our stupidity... and everyone needs to have skin in the game / although simple and fair to fund essentials in securing the country.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
I would Freeze and cut everything that is a luxury or out of scope. We do this every month when we work our family budget / the government should not be any different.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
College is not for everyone; and public education is becoming indoctrination camps based on the latest reports being presented. I believe in the core subjects of Math, Reading, Writing, and History - Plus Physical Education.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
NONE... I pray that we never let this happen again.
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.
D)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded: We need to RESTORE THE PATIENT 2 DOCTOR RELATIONSHIP and get all these parasites off our healthcare system. We are at the point where insurance company's dictate the level of care as mandated by unelected officials within the government... This has to stop.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Are you kidding me... NONE. This has been the worse / demonic actions ever taken... and is one of the reasons I am running for FL. State Rep because this cannot ever happen again. Thank GOD for our Governor Desantis but how many neighbors still took the jab because their jobs required it under false information or due to Federal tentacles - too many forgot that "the borrower is always slave to the lender".
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Evil is Evil and the extreme radicals that lie, cheat and steal at that level should be taken at their word... and taken seriously and our response should be serious as well to neutralize the threat.
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
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
This is a politically motivated tragedy made by career politicians.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
I don't know the details, but it seems to me that we have a legal process and instead of addressing the issue - politicians use this as a wedge to pit neighbor against neighbor. We should send all illegal aliens to the neighborhoods of those politicians that are in favor of open borders.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
The more competition the better for parent and students.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
There are those today that do not believe in Our Founding and that is okay but they don't have a right to force us to comply with their religion... when it is ours that gives them the right for Freewill.
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
April Fools Day is supposed to be one day out of the year; not every day/second of existence.
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
There is nothing else to say.... anything to the contrary is a property rights issue which has a remedy and does not have anything to do with Marriage as defined by GOD.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
This is a poison and demonic - we are called to love one another.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Thanks be to GOD for 2nd / nth # of chances; I was a fool and blind but now I see as it has been revealed to me... that Jesus is the truth, the way and the life. We should conserve what is true, beautiful and good. Blessed to be here at this time to work / serve in this capacity. Your Brother in Christ
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
No; we use ID's for everything in these days. Every legal vote should be counted.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
... from what I hear we should probably use Delaware's model. I like the idea that Election Day should be a state holiday where we all get to participate in this representative republic within these United States of America.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is not a threat to our domestic security because all people of "good will" can and do get along with each other in the course of our daily lives. This is a politically made-up issue to pit neighbor against neighbor and they should be ashamed of themselves for trying to divide the one and only HUMAN RACE.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
We don't have enough money to pay reparations for every group that has been wronged or feels they have been wronged. The American way is to make it anyways...and to not sit there feeling sorry or complaining about it.
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.
There is a balance but these days the administration has gone full woke. I believe in: A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. Proven technologies will win the day / the government needs to get out of the business of picking winners and losers - getting paid to play schemes.
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
All options need to be on the table and there is an option for every scenario/need. What this administration has done to the energy sector is another man-made disaster created by politicians for politicians to game the system.
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To Protect Our GOD Given Rights.
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?
Choose not to answer
When I consider my view to these events it is really not hard... I believe the Golden Rule is to treat others how you would like to be treated versus those who subscribe that he who holds the gold makes the rule. I believe in conserving all that is beautiful, good and true as revealed to us by our creator who gave us Freewill. As I type; I am thinking of Jefferson who is quoted as saying something like: "If it neither picks my/our pocket or breaks my/our leg" then go on about your business...

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 am an everyday person who works to do what is right for my family. Lately it seems that we are not being represented and the only way to right the wrongs these elites have created is to run for public office and have a seat at the table to correct/reset what these woke / weak politicians have done to Our American Way of Life... Your Brother in Christ, Francisco Rodriguez
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
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
... it seems like we have so many programs but what is needed is to have a strong family / strong men in our lives to turn the corner and right this ship... In Jesus' Name I pray - Amen
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
We need Constitutional Carry Laws... any restriction ties the hands of legal gun owners / not the perpetrator.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
